In cool cloudy weather I make a space for the logs to sit for as long as it takes. If you keep your firewood under cover, it would also be a good place to dry your paper logs. If the weather is lousy, but you haven't yet had any fires you can make use of a well aired spot. Update, 10th November 2008: I have mentioned in the comments section that once the fire season starts you can get your logs dry within a few days by stacking them on top of the wood heater or in front of an open fire. If you're making them in cool weather it could take two weeks if there's no sun. The logs I made for this instructable dried in one day. It depends on the weather how long they'll take to dry. If you make about eight in one session your hands will be really black. The photo shows what my hand looked like after making three logs.

“I heard a loud crash but didn’t think anything of it ‘til ambulances were outside the house,” Phelps said. It was a first responder going door to door telling residents to flee as a precaution.

But it requires a certain concentration to be a health hazard,” said Whelton, an expert in environmental chemistry and water quality.Įthanol is highly soluble in water, meaning it will be relatively easy to dilute.
