    Might sound like a funny request, but could you weigh a briquette and share with us?

    I'm contemplating a particular BOT (trailer) design option and wondering about the practical/impractical possibilities. So basically that info plus your burn time findings might lead to a viable offering in something I intend to build. Thanks.

    I'll definately post dimensions/weights of the cured briquettes.

    I have stirred the goop after one day of soak. Thursday should be the brick making day!

    Made the first batch of bricks. One thing I noticed is that I had to put some weight on the bricks as they wanted to do some expanding, so I lined them up and put a 2x4 with weight on top of them to keep them compressed.

    4 hours after making the bricks and they are stabilizing at about 3 1/4 inches long on average.

    16 bricks in about 2 hours. I started getting faster at it as it went along.
