Horse manure briquettes are fuel made bypressing wet horse manure into solid blocks,which are then dried andburned as analternative to wood.
To make them, you first need to create a slurry of manure and water, then use a press to compact the mixture into a briquette.
Finally, the briquettes must be thoroughly dried for one to two weeks or more to be suitable for burning.

Mix the manure:
Place fresh horse manure in a large container and add plenty of water to create a thick, slurry-like consistency.
Press the briquettes:
Scoop the wet mixture into a brick press, filling it to the top.
Squeeze the press firmly to remove excess water and air pockets, then top it up and squeeze again to create a dense block.
Dry the briquettes:
Allow the pressed briquettes to dry outside on mesh grids or racks, rotating them to ensure even drying.
Complete the drying:
After a few days of initial drying, move the briquettes to an airy, dry, undercover location to finish drying completely.
This can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the weather.
Store:
Once they are completely dry and hard, the briquettes can be stored and are ready for use.
You can watch this video to see how to dry the briquettes:

Burning the briquettes
Lighting:
They can be lit with a piece of paper or a firelighter.
Once a flame is established, the air inlet on the stove can be turned down.
Burn time:
Horse manure briquettes can burn for about an hour or more and produce a good amount of heat.
Smell:
They reportedly do not produce a smell when burning, as the process results in dried grass.
