Heating your home with horse manure!

I came across this web page  Save money on heating bills – burn horse manure which shows how to use a briquette paper log maker to produce fuel ‘logs’ from horse manure. They say the odour evaporates in a few weeks as the brick shapes dry out, and the ashes make good fertiliser.

The Backwoods Home Magazine has a lot more information plus instructions for a DIY briquette maker.

It sounds like a good idea for anyone who keeps horses, but as I don’t have a horse I can’t test it out -  if anyone out there has tried it please let me know how well it works!
