To briquette-fuel makers,
The link provide by Kobus gives a wonderfully clear explanation of his
briquette-making process. It is a model of presentation that perhaps
others could provide for their different procedures and methods.
Those of us who want (or already make) somewhat different shaped
briquettes that can be easily used in TLUD stoves or Rocket stoves
should provide info that can show the great similarities of production
and the often minor variations of the methods.
I hope that Richard (and others) can forward this or a similar message
to the networks of people involved in briquette making (but are often
not subscribed to the Stove Listserv.

And this is how I made them:

One cold and rainy night I used 30 briquettes in one go. I have
taught my gardener to make around 20 briquettes per week with the
"test briquette maker" you encouraged me to make back in 2003 or there
abouts - and the metal press stand is still going strong - just needed
another lick of paint and I changed out the wooden block. The
Rhodesian Teak piston is still around but I've switched to a PVC
piston now. Working on a new design to produce some square shaped
briquettes for easier storage pressed down inside a square section of
gutter downpipe.
