breeze block size is to big ,harder to burn and generate heat ,iff you make them smaller ,about half the size of a house brick ,they will burn quicker ,there will be more air circulation around each part wich in tern will generate more heat My research told me different . An experiment I will not be repeating any time soon, but the liquid I squeezes out of the poo made a wicked fertilizer , The blocks burnt much like peat, and were a lot easier to bring in the house than loose horse ponk. Smaller blocks would be a time consuming faff .

Where there's muck there's brass - www.tockwithalpacas.com/shop/alpacas-poo-fire-bricks/www.equinecompare.co.uk/docs/BurnHorseManure/It would appear it's illegal to burn poo unless you have some sort of agricultural exemption but the horsey brigade struggle to get rid of the shit anyway. I do like the notion of horse briquettes and I'm sure it's feasible and profitable for a small enterprise with a nearby stable to take on considering fuel prices. The one thing I love about up north is a peat fire although the smell does remind me of burning piss and good whisky.

There a bit optomistic on the 3 weeks drying unless you live some where like Rajahstan , more like a year. I get 7 tons of horse shit a year and will not bother a gain , Jester on here tried as well , and don't think he was overwelmingly impressed .

as the above utube video demonstrates ,horse poo burns really well ,iff it is dried and used ,in its natural form ,horse poo in its natural form will dry really quickly because the pieces are quite small ,once you start to make huge breeze blocks out the stuff ,it will take forever to dry ,and will be really hard to burn because of its size ,just like you wouldn't try to burn a bit of wood the size of a breeze block in your fireplace ,because it would have trouble staying alight

You have lost me now , I always put big logs in my burner , as I don't want to be putting small logs on every 5 minutes . If the wood is properly seasoned it will burn no problem what so ever if the vents/damper are managed correctly . I know someone who tried to burn horse shit naturally , he called it 'horse apples ' it burnt in 5 minutes and the copious ash smothered the fire . You are burning grass and horse stomach juice . Not the highest calorific fuel in the world . I have found quite a lot of things suggested on the internet are in reality not that great an idea. 99% of people burning dung are doing it out of neccessaty rather than choice , and are using it to cook rather than keep them selves warm.

What burner do you have? . Obviously you cannot stick a great big log as soon as you have lit it , but once you have a good bed of embers no problem . I keep my logs as big as possible, as its the best way to ensure the fire stays in all night . How well seasoned is your wood ? I would not bother splitting logs under 9 inches diameter for our wood burner .

Getting back to being serious for a minute, the state of your digestive system is very important and things like antibiotics or booze (or mouthwash suprisingly) can do untold damage. Too much sugar etc can all have an effect. Its a living culture of bugs, good and bad. absolutely in agreement...........i had horrible skin problems, needing wet bandages for the lesions and scarring.......was at the derma hospital with all the consultants (big NHS salary) n all - all they offered was steroid creams...........absolute "big pharma" LIES...........try looking at "leaky gut syndrome" and changing your way of living/buying/eating.....

its a 4k multistove all fiited properly and flued into the chimney and sealed ,I grew up as a kid ,my nxt door neighbour had an open fireplace and even he used to split his logs ,you must etheir live in a mansion ,or your using a giant outdoor firepit I live in a cottage, not a mansion , LOL, and have been in wood burning enviroment all my life ,and cook on wood for 2/3 of the year . Yes I split logs if they are too big to fit in the burner , and anything over 7 inches in diameter will not fit in my rayburn , but I can fit up to 10 inches diameter x 18 inches long in my woodburner . If you want to burn horse muck good luck to you , I have tried it along with my mate and we both concluded it was not worth the effort as we both had better alternatives . I have never tried the compressed newspaper briqhette thing because I have heard that is no good either . If your burner will nor burn a log that easily fits in it when the fire is well lit and there is a good bed of embers then your wood is wet or you do not know how to operate te burner properly . You say it is multi fuel , so I assume it has a grate . Unless you let a decent amount of ash build up under the grate, the embers fall through ,and the logs will not burn so well . My wood burner is exactly that , and had no grate . The rayburn is multifuel , and if the grate is not 90 % clogged with ash from underneath does not perform well , and you can get an insert to sit on the grate to act the same way as me letting ash build up .
