I'd heard of using coffee grounds as fertilizer and that they'll burn. My kids and I will do some experimenting and have a little fun. Love it.

They are denser and contain half the moisture of cord wood. Plus there is no splitting of large logs and they produce half the ash. You can get pallet delivered for a winter supply. I get mine from, <a href="http://www.summitviews.com/firelogs.html" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://www.summitviews.com/firelogs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.summitviews.com/firelogs.html</a></a> in the San Francisco bay area.

Given the amount of work involved, and the fuel used to melt the wax, you are probably better off just using it for compost instead though. I expect even starbucks doesn't produce enough to make this system worthwhile for getting rid of their grounds. Java-Log probably gets its supply from a producer of instant coffee.
