I use it to heat the toilet seat! LOL, it burns too quickly even if
rolled into a log, makes a great fire starter though

Did you wrap it into a tight cylinder and bind it with wire? There are, or
used to be, manual rollers for newspapers and magazines that worked that
way. It would roll them and then you put two wire wraps on the roll. I
think that Brookstone used to sell them.

They said the rolls burned almost like wood but I never saw them in
operation.


my parents bought one of those. no, they didn't work as advertised on tv. it
was very hard to keep them lit.
