I've just tried some glycerol and saw dust compressed into a shallow cat foot tin.

Where on earth do you buy tinned cat's feet?

When you're saving for a new set of valves sometimes you've got to make certain sacrifices.

Might have luck on freecycle with a similar add.

When I've tried burning glyc + sawdust I've always had it leak out of the bottom of whatever it's burning in.  This looks pretty clean.  I'm beginning to think I mixed my glyc logs up too rich.

Youve got to remember that the glyc will go liquid again on the fire.  So, if your dust is not fine and / or wont wick / absorb the liquid, its going to go somewhere.

When i started, i got all sorts of scary stuff dripping out the bottom.  I changed to much finer dust and became less enthusiastic about the amount of glyc i could get rid of, and all was fine.

Jules ...

Photos as promised



Could make a note about removing the plastic spout.





I find taping the packs closed reduces the likelyhood of gunk dropping while carrying through the house.  Similarly I often wrap carpet cores in newspaper for the same reason.

Use as you see fit.

Thankyou, have you uploaded them to the Wiki or can I access directly from here?

What do you think of the Glogs page now, I was quite pleased with my efforts.

I want to add a picture of the ash left after a fire for the final paragraph and possibly a picture of some stacked up round logs for the storage section

They are uploaded to the wiki ... look at "Recent changes" or "Special pages", "Gallery of new files" or right click, properties for file name.

Page is looking great, well done.  Photos make a page so much more interesting.

New additions sound really good.

Your pics are on the Wiki page now. I have a nice fire going at the moment. Hopefully in the morning there will be lots of ash for me to take a photo of and upload

Just had a read and I think it's excellent.

A good addition might be ... when burning tree logs and when cooking oil is over heated.

I took the liberty of correcting Tetra Pak a couple of times ... there's no c in it.
