Can I burn paper in this? Not trash...old paperwork

Sure, no problem. I often start the wood with miscellaneous paperwork. Always have the screen on top and be aware paper can generate more flying ash than wood.

Physically, yes, it's perfectly suited for that. However, you'll need to check with local laws on rubbish burning, also beware of any chemically-treated paper as it can cause some nasty (potentially toxic) fumes. Also beware of flyaway ash that could become a fire hazard. I would make sure the screen is over the pit at all times to avoid that hazard. Remove as many staples and paperclips as possible and make sure nothing is in plastic document sheets.

Sure you can burn paper.We save all paper -cardboard also,small limbs from yard and enjoy sitting around it and sometimes roast marshmallows.We really like ours.

I am sure you can, although it is very thin paper so you would have to be careful not to tear the paper.

All parchment paper will degrade at 425, other papers that are organometallic will take higher temperatures. Get the silicon reusable pads. I love them!

Yes. I have used 80lb paper and it works fine. I would not go any higher though it might be fine.

Speaking for myself, yes it's appropriate for house use. I had accumulated several years of paper work and thus found it very conveniet when I finally got to shredding my stuff. I'm not sorry for having purchased it and presumably you will not be sorry too.

While I cannot say yes or no. I am going to go with no. I imagine it would catch on fire, if you expose it to heat for a period of time. It is just paper. Like construction paper on a roll. I suppose you could wrap food with it, but I don't think you would want to. It doesn't seem that dust free. All you have to do is smell it or handle it. I think you need to stick with the title of the product, and it is clear it is not for food.

I got absolutely no paper work with my unit. That is a good question. I have had mine for about 8 months and no problems yet.

Yes, BUT. There are a set of fire ratings. This model is good for paper documents, but not digital media. If you google fire ratings you'll get a much more detailed answer.

No, but you can use letter and legal paper. Just change the paper on the tray.

I use any paper that is not "shiny". you can also mix in about 25% organic matter(dried leaves,twigs, grass, etc.). I just use a cheap paper shredder. size doesn't really matter much.

How do you know how many pages are in it. Two pages folded in there would be 6 papers at a time, plus the envelope. I don't think I'd do it. I find it SO easy to discard the envelope, tear off two 1/3s of a page, and shred them. The rest goes in the recycling wastebasket. Even just shred the two pages if you want to, but I know it's good for 6 pages.

Hi Cindy,I don't know, I've never tried using it for that purpose. Might it be better to laminate the paper.

Yes, BUT only if you are looking to start a fire or at least increase the risk of fire but a large percentage. I am pretty sure the word PAPER is in the product description. Best of luck.

No just run it through. Be sure to put the little square provided inside the open space. (I think it may hold the paper steady). These dies are a dream to use. Enjoy!

Don't know why you can't as parchment paper is safe in ovens. The temp in the dehydrator is a lot lower. Would beLess cleanup.

most of the time yes, make sure the envelope isnt too fat... it is designed to shred 11 pages at a time so stick to the user manual and you'll be fine. Sometime you'll have to open the envelopes... like those from BoysTown and charities with tons of folded paper, i simply unfold and shred the whole thing :D
