Troubleshooting
Briquettes are not holding their shape.
Ensure the paper is soaked for a sufficient amount of time and that you are compressing the mixture adequately. Too little water or insufficient compression can affect the final briquette shape.
Maker is difficult to compress.
Reduce the amount of paper used at once. Ensure the paper is evenly distributed within the maker before compression.
