Newspaper Roller preps papers for your fireplace

logroller.jpgIf you've got a fireplace in your home, you're well aware that old newspapers are a great kindling for getting a fire going. They catch on fire quickly and easily and burn until there's nothing left. Normally, you can just roll up a newspaper to stick it under your logs or crumple it up and shove it between them. But what if you want something a bit more… elaborate?

Well then, here's this Newspaper Log Roller. It sure looks classy, doesn't it? But what does it do? Well, apparently, you feed newspapers into it and it rolls them up for you. Why is this better than doing it with your hands? I'm not quite sure, but look how nice and shiny it is! If that doesn't sell you on it, I'm not sure what will.

This device is in no way new. My folks had one back in the 1970s.

The point here is that you aren't making fast-burning kindling. You are making a slower-burning log - more densely packed paper, and that requires a tighter wrapping than most folks can make with their hands.
