Coffee in the stove?

[lml999]

I've heard some people make Java logs out of coffee grounds and wax. Anyone put coffee grounds (wet or dry) directly into a running stove?

Caffeinated or decaf make a difference?

Decaf all the way. The regular stuff keeps my stove up all night.

I've heard some people make Java logs

Seriously, I've never heard of this. My coffee grounds go in the compost.

Wax logs in any form are discouraged by most every stove maker.

No problem. It ain't my stove.

Newspaper logs.
Coffee grounds.
Corn Pellets.

Not to mention all of the other crazy things people burn in their stove ... aluminum cans, flammable fuel, corn cobs, dryer lint, pine cones, etc

I always figured it was called a woodstove not an incinerator for a reason ... they're made to burn wood.

That said ... I am a little bit guilty ... I have burned pallets in it during my first year of burning.

?? Most pallets I've seen are wood?

There was a company near Perth, Ontario, Canada that was making "coffee" logs but I have not seen them in a long time. There was a Nestle's coffee plant nearby and that is where the material came from to make the logs.

It is just ground up seeds so probably no big deal without the wax but why?? I cannot imagine there are too many BTU's in a pile of coffee grounds. I roast my own coffee and cooking coffee beans has a weird odor. Not horrible - but nothing like coffee grounds or good coffee brewing so that benefit, if any, is lost as well.
