Anyone know whether I could mix left-over glycerine w/ dried leaves and
woodchips and coffee grounds and compress it
into a fireplace log with a hydralic ram and a form for fuel for my wood
stove? I've burned coffee logs before and it worked fine.
I could braze a stell form and use a bottle
Hi Mike,
I make logs with sawdust apacked in a milk carton. If you
have a fire that burns hot it will last between 1 to 3
hours. No ram necessary unless you like to put in a bunch of
extra work for something that you are going to burn anyway.
I was thinking of finding large cardboard tubes and
Did you mix anything w/ the sawdust?
We have gobs of dried leaves and wood chips. I thought of packing them
in paper bags mixed w/ glycerine.
I have a decent VC stove - I can control the fire to get pretty much any
kind of burn I need.

Suggest carpet tubes (about 60mm diameter fairly thick) from the centre of
rolls of carpet.

one precaution about burning glycerin: make sure you have plenty of
input air for combustion and a good flue for exhaust.
Incomplete combustion can result in the formation of allyl alcohol,
acrolein and acrylic acid. All of which are volatile and toxic.

Just the glycerine. I am sure that wood chips would work
well. I have more sawdust than anything else. I like to
compost the leaves and burn the wood. Makes life easier.On 11/28/05, Mike Weaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

regular wood smoke contains way worse stuff than just burning Glycerine..
wood smoked may contain all of the following...
Cyclic di and triterpenoids: dehydroabietic acid, isopimaric acid,
lupenone, friedelin
Chlorinated dioxins
Carbon monoxide
Methane
Aldehydes: formaldehyde, acrolein,
And how does that work, because I would think the
glycerin melts and turn into liquid ?

Ray, whereas I agree that all of that which you listed can be present in wood
smoke, there are three
important considerations: vapor pressure, concentration and relative toxicity.
I will stand by my
precautions about burning glycerin because 1) the concentrations of the toxins
I mentioned
How does it compare to Sterno?

Sterno is basically ethanol, burns much cleaner than glycerin.
