Does anyone have any information or knowledge they're willing to share on extrusion of sawdust for making firewood briquettes please?
Optimum compression ratio, L/D ratio, taper angle, in fact anything would be useful, cheers!

Are you looking to make fireplace logs, or charcoal briquettes?

Thanks Tom, that's one of the few bits of info I've already come across, was looking for a bit more technical info really.
I would have liked to have started a new forum for this, instead of putting it into the fertilizers section, any ideas please?

Very few people use this process, so no specific forum is required.

Very few people make equipment for this process. A lot of it is home brew.

I know a little bit about this process, and I'm available as a consultant. You can contact me directly at tomcun@ptd.net
