Manure Bricks for burning

[Lil_Miss_Farmer_Chick]

I read this article and would like to try it, I just wondered if any one else has and if it works. We will have 4 goats and 30+ standard/bantam chickens this spring and would like to find more uses for the manure.

Edit: I just saw a thread similar after posting, except this article says it can be made into the molds and sun dried, which is a more feasible option for me.

This is blowing my mind.

I just finished reading the link you've posted and I must admit, it was a very good read.
I have wondered so 'many' times what to do with the extra Manure from our goats, miniature
donkeys, sheep/lambs and cattle.

Have you tried this yet since your post? I know I am willing to try.

Since mankind has been using dried manure as a fuel source for thousands of years, heck, even the pioneers did this, I think that I will put this on my project list.

I am learning right along with my 2 youngest children - waste not/want not.

@ country freedom

I totally concur, "waste not want not". My husband and I are learning how to become self sufficient and this is totally on our list of new things to try/do. This weekend I will be heading to the nearest lumber yard and making the molds and we will try our hand at this.

The local nursery is selling bagged 30 pound chicken manure for $25. People are crazy enough to pay big bucks for organic fertilizer these days. Used to be able get it free if I was willing to get it directly from the chicken house.

As soon as we have enough manure to put in the molds, we will be giving it a go.

They sell chicken litter by the huge truck loads here for $25!

I would love to use manure bricks to burn but my manure is not the mushy, molding into a form kind. Will you guys add a binder like water to the manure to get it to form into bricks?
