Hmmmm..... look I have done a lot of " experimenting " in my lifetime .
And indeed , you can braai with cardboard .
In fact , you can use the method I have already described to make the paper-mache , then instead of making small little lumps/balls with your hands , you stuff it down a piece of piping , say 50 mm diameter . Then , use a ramrod or something ( you can make it from a piece of wood ) , and push the paper-mache through the pipe . It should come out like turds . Let it dry like already mentioned , and you can set it alight just like logs .
It burns very slowly , almost smoldering , but certainly , it will make coals which can braai your meat .......

No, I want to put a few strips of cardboard on top of the newspaper and see if that ignites the coal.

I have started using one of these. Works like a bomb especially getting hard woods going. \O \O

Am not a fan of charcoal, prefer briquettes.

So had our braai on Friday night.
It was a lot better.

Got the restaurant grade charcoal out:

Then the SO had seen this at the shops and bought it for me:

I was a bit sceptical about using it.
But a small piece of fire starter and 20 mins later.
Who can argue. It worked brilliantly.
