Here are the simple steps to follow to make this super easy firebrick. Start by gathering up any trash you have, such as paper towel rolls, paper plates, foliage, egg cartons and similar materials. Then:

Step 1
Get two 5 gal buckets. Drill a lot of holes in it, about 2 inches down from the lips and around 3/16 size-ish. Go around all the bucket and on the bottom.

Step 2
Place the holy bucket inside the other normal bucket. Start putting your papers, leaves, bio material in it. Add your water and fill’r up. Doesn’t really matter if you have too much water.

Step 3
You need a custom drill bit, which I have. A good thing to do is find an old table saw blade and weld it to s shaft of steel. This is “the hardest” part of this setup. Drill away and in seconds you will have a nice pulpy wet mess.

Step 4
Next, pull out the holy bucket and let it drain. I put the draining bucket on top of the other bucket to save the water – you can re-use the same water many times.

Step 5
You should have a press that goes far down into the bucket to press out the remaining water. But you will probably want to place a bucket down on some wood, trace around the base and cut out that piece of wood to use as a press.

Step 6
Set your press inside the bucket over the pulp. Then I set the re-used water bucket inside of that bucket. That will work over time.

Finally, once most of the water has been pressed out, take the brick and place it in a dry, sunny spot and then turn the bucket over and tap it on the top and wait for the brick to dry.
