Papercrete would not work well at all, since it does not burn. Just paper pulp would probably work fine, though I have not done this. I did see several youtube videos in the past where paper pulp was pressed into briquettes for burning in a stove.
Definitely do not add portland cement or borax (or sand) to your pulp since they all suppress flame. After your pellets are thoroughly dry, a dip in melted paraffin (which would be readily absorbed) would probably make them easier to light.

Hi I have ran across this forum, in search for a diy paper pellet making, mainly for heating puposes. My personal project ( www.onealternative.us ) has used grass pellets in the past. I use sun dried grass add some used kitchen grease and water to pelletize my grass clippings. I was wondering about adding paper to the mix to increase the density of my pellets so they would stay together better instead of falling apart as easy. As well add some first lighting capability of the burner. Anyhow does anyone have experience in producing paper pellets for heating purposes? What are the incredience that you might have used before? Possibly some one could point me in the right direction. Thanks for your help Joe ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
