Well I've been given one of those bloody contraptions which is supposed
to solve global warming by converting your newspapers into papier mache
logs.
Can anyone confirm, is it as crap as I believe it is...?

At the temperature of a domestic fire, the chlorine content of the
paper (from bleaching) will mean it produces vast amounts of dioxin.

And you'll probably use an appreciable fraction of the energy released
by combustion simply to dry the papier mache out fast enough that it
doesn't go mouldy.
