    I cant see that to be ok to breathe in. I have a feeling inks and whatever chemicals are used in the paper themselves are not lung friendly.

    Actually, I think some of the fumes will highly toxic and neither environmentally friendly nor healthy. On top of that, paper should be recycled, and at least partially used for paper making or cardboard making. After that it could still be used as fuel, but please not in a fireplace. Most of the heat (and toxic fumes) goes through the chimney .

    Must say I completely agree with stef.

    Most newspaper ink is soy-based these days, so it's not toxic, unless you are burning plastic.

    Inks are almost all soy based these days making burnoff waste very similar to what you would get burning a log. In fact if you burn your wood too green (that is wet or unseasoned, not eco friendly!) it is much worse because of the amount of creosote it puts off.

    I have been using a Logmaker, sent to me from the UK, where it was invented and is currently being marketed. It requires no soaking of paper in water (unless you want to), and I was able to start making logs from my newspapers and other filler within minutes of opening the box and reading the instructions. I happen to know the inventor is looking for a distributor in the USA. Check out his website and get in touch with him at the "contact details" e-mail address. His name is Arthur and he has really created something wonderful! Go To http://www.logmaker.org.uk/
