I'm thinking of buying a perper log maker, but read some very negative
comments about the brick model (messy, up to a year to dry out, storage
problems). Has anyone tried the newer plunger type which compresses
the paper without using water?

No. But have just found a vid of one in action

Found a quote elsewhere
"The logs will burn for up to 1 hour depending on the contents. Paper
only filled logs work well as firelighters - great for the barbeque. "


I assume paper only acting as firelighters means they'll last no where
near an hour.

Err and £22.50 inc P&P for a tube and a plunger? I suspect they are pulling
my plunger. Anyone is going to get bored of that malarkey in about five
minutes.

I've not used them but I gather people that are into that sort of thing
tend to decide wrapping the papers in a roll is the quickest and
easiest way to use them.
