Seeing as we’re heading into winter it would be a good idea to get prepared for the cold months ahead before it’s too late. That’s where the Eco Briquette Maker comes in handy.

If you’re looking to save some money on your home energy usage this winter then there’s a number of different steps you can take with thanks to Electric Ireland, such as gas boiler services and the installation of insulation. There are also some simple steps you can take to save on your energy bills this winter too, such as making your own briquettes.

The Eco Briquette maker is a cost effective way to heat your home this winter by using the waste paper that’s found lying throughout your home. It’s an extremely easy piece of kit to use and it’s seriously useful too.

Waste not, want not… whatever that means

All you have to do is simply soak your waster paper in water, insert this mush into the Eco Briquette Maker and then squeeze any excess water off. Once you let it dry completely you will then have your very own homemade briquettes – which beats heading down to the shops in the freezing weather for some. Simples.

Each briquette made will burn solidly and heat the home for up to 2 hours, leaving you free to enjoy the fire. It’ll save you buying expensive briquettes for half the winter and you can also make some nice savings on your home energy bills too.

The Eco Briquette Maker costs just €20.99 and it’s a great way to reducing your use of fossil fuels while also getting rid of unwanted waste paper.
