[Bioconversion] News Paper Fireball

[Jeff Davis]

Dear List,

Today I have made my first news paper fireballs in a cement mixer with paddles removed. They also had some ground up switchgrass and sawdust mixed with the paper. The paper was first wetted then ran through a desposal. The fireballs are not dry yet, so only time will tell if they stick together.

I want to skip the depsosal (grinding) process. Right now I am soaking a 55 gallon drum of paper in water. I hope that in time the paper will be reduced enough to feed straight in to the mixer.

So one can make fireballs from paper!
