There are ways Gill. Straight up from the log burner and through the outside wall just before the ceiling. (apparently you get almost an extra kW from 1 metre of exposed chimney. Then a stainless steel chimney outside. Simple really.

@@twcmaker difficult to explain but we did have a log burner company in, its a bit more complicated for us as we have what looks like a fireplace and chimney but is actually a solid brick wall above supporting our bungalow frame. We all agreed it would look very odd to have a log burner sticking out in the room somewhere else.

@gillhb-LIFE Ahh yes. You have mentioned it on the podcast.

So glad it helps others. Thank you for commenting and your support. New video covering briquettes and burning them, out in a couple of days. Jamie

You could be right.

I have no idea.

I'm making a video right now. Answering these questions. Subscribe and hit the notification 🔔. I'd like to get it published this evening. It acts like Wood does, is the simple answer to your question. Jamie

You can see them burn here ruclips.net/video/vGtiaf52uI0/видео.html I'm making another video this week that shows the making, recipes and burning them at the end. So subscribe and hit the notification 🔔 So you don't miss it. Jamie

Thank you for watching. Jamie

That's great.

Thank you 👍

Thank you for watching all the way to the end. 👏👏👏 *round of applause for getting that far 😂 Those catches are pretty good. Not the most expensive but worth fitting. Whereas some cheaper ones are not worth it really.

Much appreciated. Ahh.. the beards had a trim now. But getting longer every day. Thank you Jamie

I like that 👍 I'll see if I can find a piece of tube. Cheers Jamie

Thank you William. I really appreciate the support. Jamie

You've skipped through the point where I said.. "I get the used Coffee grounds from the Café next door" And they drop it outside my workshop door too.

I'm in the US and most Starbucks and other coffee shops have a bin in the front of the store with "Free Coffee Grounds for your garden" and you can just grab them by the pack.

@markpukey8 That's really good to hear. Thank you for sharing. Jamie

fall back, it is free if You drink it and usually throw the grounds away, how can You come here with that nonsense?

​​@@dazdeluxe6672 Why be rude? They obviously don't drink coffee. Perhaps they did not watch the video because of their question. Data is very precious to low income people and videos eat it up.

Just send it back. They'll overhaul it, make any repairs send it to be used in another country (apparently)

@@jammywesty91 Yes. We mentioned it in the last video. That could why its staying sharp. A bit like a Potato peeler. All that backward and forward motion is like cut-strop-cut-strop.

@@jammywesty91 Yes the sunlight showed up just how bad I am at spraying varnish 🙈 the colour is wonderful though.

@@ellewisentinc Thank you Elle 👍

Thank you! I'll get better over time. Jamie

Thank you Ashley. I appreciate the support. Jamie

@@inthewebnotoftheweb Thank you. 👍

You need to subscribe. You won't believe what we're doing to one of them. New project reveal tomorrow 👍 Jamie

I think it would work. Especially if you left it wet for a few weeks. Its in the composting that it burns longer. Try it. 👍

@@sandorkurta9829 I've not heard of this before. If you go to my Playlists you should find Briquettes making and burning 🔥 🔥 🔥 Choose from there. If it still doesn't work. Can you let me know please. Thank you Jamie

But flower isn't waste and I don't think it needs anything else added. Jamie

@@twcmaker you could cook out old potatoe peels for the starch, then use that water, still warm and pour it in the mix

@Hunne2303 Yes, exactly that type of thing.

And who knows how that all works? Thank you for your support. Jamie

Welcome aboard. Thank you

It's a cool little saw. You've got some new toys too. The trailer from Dorset. Very cool

@ I have mate, well chuffed with it. I noticed your channel subs has gone nuts!

It looks really cool. Yes the subs thing is going crazy still. One day I'll work out what happened. Still a mystery.

Normally I do. This was a very quick video.

@twcmaker i just see the mold on the coffee grinds, and I was concerned about your lungs. I have done a lot of demolition and cutting stone in my youth, and my lungs are paying for it now. I wear a respirator whenever dust, silica molds are a factor.

@jaymanjay1030 I totally get that. Thank you. Silica is a killer. The man made stuff is a lot more harsh than the natural dust from Wood etc. But still, masks are important.

Thank you for watching. Have you subscribed too? It really helps me grow the channel and share the builds, the tools and the fun & games with students in my workshop. Thank you again Jamie

@@DavoShed Hi. The point is I'm using my waste (and Cafe used Coffee grounds) to heat my home. I'm developing this to make my home (eventually) off grid using waste to heat and other methods for power. But that's for the future. This, for now, is heating part of a home.

@ That’s great thanks for answering. I have a wood heater at home so I understand 99% of the smell goes up the chimney but can you smell the coffee grounds? I live in the country Australia and I’m mostly off grid. I have solar power, rain tanks, a septic tank, solar water heater, and now and then a tree falls down so we cut it up. (New ones grow on their own). Our power is still grid connected and we feed back way more than the tiny bit we use after two consecutive rainy days. I wish I could expand the veggie garden and grow all our own vegetables but that’s harder than it sounds. Good luck with all your projects.

Thank you Davo. Yours sounds amazing. Have you got a RUclips channel? You should. It does take a lot of time (like a second, very busy job) but if you stick at it, it helps share with others, learn and occasionally pays a bill or two. Have you subscribed? I'd appreciate it if you could. Jamie

Also something to consider that if this just goes to landfill it will decompose and release greenhouse gasses anyway. Might as well use it. In landfill there's a higher chance of it releasing methane, which is a way more potent greenhouse gas compared to Co2.

@@MathsGameArt just burn it hot... you wouldn´t believe what crap I burned through a little kitchen stove until the plate was red hot... and it´s not like authorities don´t check your chimney values around here... so this dude in black dress comes along, does the measurements and says: "I cannot believe it!" and I was all like "uh oh that´s gonna be expensive"... but nope "I´ve never seen such good values on an old chimney like that" - as it´s a very old house, built 2-3 hundres years ago, I guess that chimney is old too... seems I blew it clean

That was the first question what came into my mind as well, so i did a little bit of research and here are my results: Mix with Hardwood: Mixing coffee briquettes with hardwood can improve burn quality and reduce the likelihood of incomplete combustion. Burn at High Temperatures: Keep the fire hot to help ensure clean combustion and minimize residue. Using coffee briquettes can be safe and even beneficial with proper precautions. It’s especially important to monitor your chimney's condition if you plan on using them as a primary fuel source. Coffee briquettes are a more sustainable option, often made from recycled coffee grounds, which is an eco-friendly advantage. Coffee is acidic, and if there’s any residue from burning coffee briquettes, this acidity could, in the long term, potentially contribute to corrosion of metal components in the chimney, like the damper or chimney cap. The risk is relatively low but could be a factor if coffee briquettes are the primary fuel used over extended periods. Coffee briquettes could indeed be a good alternative alongside wood or coal.

I've just swept the chimney. I'll sweep it again in the new year and see the results. I do mix the briquettes in with Waste woof from my workshop. So it's not all briquette soot.

Very good alongside Wood.

@@karlme477 I don´t think it´s overly acidic after being brewed and all the steps that follow. It´s alkalic after burning. One could throw in some vinegar before pressing the blocks to counter that. In theory. :p

Ahh that's very cool. Well done

You could round off the corners of the scrap to make it burn slower, even sand it smooth, just a thought

👍😉👌

Have the stove warmer. Do it while the glass is warm. You could use a Stanley scraper while it's cold. Get it cleaned off first, then use my method on the video to maintain it. Thanks for watching and your support. Have you subscribed? Jamie

stove was ripping hot at the time, think my logs probably aren’t as dry as they should be and it’s baked on. gonna give it a proper clean and then do this to maintain 👍 earned my subscribe and good luck with the channel

@jakeyje Sounds like a plan. Thank you Jamie

On a basic level. But maybe the best time to burn is after 6 weeks in a bucket. 6 months might not work.. Who knows. Well, hopefully I'll find out soon in this Winters burning trials. Subscribe 🔔 to find out. Jamie

Turf is semi-composted peat used as combustible since ages in Ireland

@greenwood4020 thank you. I appreciate the comment. This video was filmed in 10 minutes, edited in 10 no fuss, no time to get camera set up or anything like the time I normally invest in videos. It's now over 441k views and 7,200 subscribed in a few short months. There are no guarantees on RUclips and sometimes it pays to break the normal rules. I think.. Because it just doesn't make sense to me. Thank you again Jamie

I can tell if it's dry, and they do sit around for months to dry. Scales are easier to use though. Weight a few together every couple of days, until they weigh the same for 3 times. The moisture meter.. I use in the workshop a lot. Not on Briquettes though. I don't really need one at home, because the wood goes home and sits next to the fire for a few days before use. I'll bring it back. 👍 They're brilliant pieces of kit. Well worth the small investment. Jamie

I can do that. I'll screenshot this and do it over the Autumn/Winter.. Very soon. Thank you

less surface area on the spheres, so if they hold together till burned out, it should take longer just due to this
