Briquette Basics:

• Imagine shaping horse manure into compact bricks that burn like seasoned firewood. These “poo-bricks” are essentially compressed fuel logs.
• Odor Evaporation: Fear not—the initial pungency of fresh manure dissipates as the bricks dry out. So, no need to worry about your living room smelling like a stable forever!
• Ashes to Fertilizer: Once burned, the ashes from these manure briquettes can even be used as fertilizer. Talk about a full-circle eco-cycle!
• The Process:Slurry Mix: First, wet the manure and break it down into a slurry. This helps the dried bricks hold together better.
• Mold It: Scoop the manure mixture into a mold or brick form, pressing it down firmly to remove any air pockets. Even manure deserves a snug fit!
• Drying Time: Allow the bricks to dry thoroughly. Patience, my friend—good things take time.
• Fuel Fusion: For optimal performance, mix the manure bricks with other fuels like wood or coal. They burn best when they’ve got company.For EU shipping (excluding Ireland) allow 7days USA 4 to 6 weeks
