Does it produce a nice roaring fire or does it just smoulder and give off heat?

Wonder if I could sell goat manure as fuel.

I wonder

the big piles of muck.......... (so glad I'm not the only one loving this idea

)

Could you (with gloves or a 'device' obviously

) shape it into briquettes of some sort and then dry them

Or is that just a silly idea ?

the good stuff comes out in convenient briquette shaped lumps

You can get those things that make old newspapers into briquettes, would that work?
This could encourage me to poo pick our fields

you could make a mould, karen, and press it perhaps?

Now I reckon you could cut 'turves' from the big heaps and dry them on racking made from heras fencing and breeze blocks.
If it works for peat I'm sure it would work for poo...

LOVE that idea

And I happen to have a few heras panels 'spare'

This is sounding better and better

I think goat poop would work as well MGM

Lesley Silvester · « **Reply #25 on:** October 23, 2012, 10:17:25 pm »

It's a bit small for brickettes though.

Carl f k · « **Reply #26 on:** October 23, 2012, 10:25:54 pm »

Save it through the summer there be enough for winter

I think unless you compressed it into larger bricks it might burn up too quickly.

Well after finishing watching The Good Life I wondered about this but thought I was being silly!

So would any poop work (not thinking carnivore poop)? And when you are all saying dry it do you just mean spread it out think and allow it to air dry?

I'm liking the idea of 'bricking' smaller poops
