NEWARK, Del. - If your
woodpile is getting low, chances
are there’s a supply of fireplace
fuel conveniently delivered to your
door each day. Delaware Ex
tension Garden and Home Im
provement Agent Willie Adams
says newspaper logs are a good
alternative to firewood.
As a source of energy,
newspaper logs are almost as
efficient as the real thing and the
price is right. Even a skinny
edition will make one log, while a
Sunday paper could furnish six or
seven.
Rolling newspaper logs is easy,
but messy. Wear old clothes and
rubber gloves. Adams says it’s
best to work in a basement or
garage.

Own Logs
a tew hours or overnight. The
detergent will help the paper
absorb water and reduce the
amount of fine ash. (Note: It’s best
not to do this job in a bathtub; the
newsprint will leave a mess.)
When the paper is well soaked,
roll each section, one after the
other, around a broomstick or
other thin rod. Squeeze out the
excess water as you smooth the
surface. Then slide the rolls off the
rod and stand then'on end to dry,
tipping them a bit to allow air to
circulate inside.
The logs should be about 12 in
ches long and two to four inches in
diameter, Adams says. They are
ready to bum when they are
completely dry. This could take a
few days, or a couple of weeks for
thicker logs. Each log will bum at
least half an hour, depending on
thickness.
Rolled-up newspapers aren’t as
glamorous as big oak logs. But
when they’re blazing in your
fireplace, you won’t know the
difference.
