Want to turn old newspapers, wood chips, garden waste and junk mail into long-lasting, clean-burning, free firewood? Invest in an inexpensive log maker -- which you can find online -- that compacts these items into dense firewood "logs." It's easy to do and takes no time at all; the logs will burn from 10 minutes to up to an hour, depending on how dense the logs are and what you put into the maker. Summer is a great time to start making a pile of recycled logs so once winter arrives, you'll have plenty to stay warm.
