Sawdust bricks are a failure

The sawdust didn't bond so the brick disintergrated into small chunks.
The chunks I did try to burn smoldered rather than burnt, so all up the experiment was a failure.

It is possible because I've seen them for sale (small wrist sized 'logs'), but I don't have time, energy or desire enough to keep experimenting.

If anyone is interested in trying for yourself I suggest further experiments could look at a paper / sawdust mix, and or smaller bricks.

I've seen those bricks done with a very weak pva glue in water solution, then compressed
