Another thing I've found is that if the poos have been on a bonfire but not burned away..THEY burn very well, this might mean that it is because they are very dry right through.
I also tried mixing poo with dry soiled shavings, it didn't hold together quite so well and wasn't much improvement.
I've also tried putting some poos in the ash tray when fire is alight to dry them right out...that worked.
Conclusion is..Maybe the briquettes need to be dried through more thoroughly

Hi Posie, have you been making poo patties too?
I haven'tmade briquettes for a while because our horses are rarely stabled now. I used to make them in the winter and dry them out over the following summer. They burned well but not fast and produced quite a lot of ash. I wouldn't have a fire of poo briquettes only, usually mixed with logs, certainly start with a good fire of sticks.
