Hello
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the #Multimate MK-II briquette maker.
I made over 70 briquettes with the 24 hour 'output' from just one of my horses! They're finally dry and burn for hours. Thank you and your brother so much!
100% horse manure.
I added water to make it into a slurry and that was all.
However our horses' diets are mainly hay so I guess that may affect the way it sticks together and how well it burns.
I was going to mess with the 'recipe' and maybe add a handful of shavings next time but for the brick itself it doesn't seem necessary.
They come out of the press really easily too. So pleased!

They burn best when mixed with coal or wood, and there is no nasty smell. Others are making the manure into bricks to burn for longer. These are still best when mixed with other fuels. They are little slower than wood to ignite, burn less intensely, but give out more heat and are good for keeping the fire in overnight.
