Make Your Own Logs
If you have a wood burning stove and receive the daily newspaper you can make your own newspaper logs. Lay newspapers flat and roll it into 3 inch diameter logs then wrap metal wire around the finished log. The tighter you can roll the paper the longer the "logs" will burn.

I am trying to figure out away not to use wire, The wire may melt, also it takes a long time to cool down for removing the wire from the woodburner I like the idea about soaking the log in soapy water, Cindy Elkhart, In.

I understand that if you soak the rolled newspaper in waste soapy laundry or dish water and allow them to dry completely they will burn much longer.
