The message
from Alan Gould contains these words:

A large proportion of the work it does is ex-tree surgery
brushwood which is too large to be composted and too small for Rayburn
fuel. The shreddings are used for mulching, composting and path work.
The shredder also handles softer materials such as Brussels sprout and
Jerusalem artichoke stems, prunings etc., the shreddings from which can
be added to compost heaps. In a very large garden like ours with many
trees, it is an almost indispensable asset.

So, shred the small stuff and mix it with papier maché - old newspapers
soaked for a few days, then sloshed-up.

Pack into a bit of plastic drainpipe and tamp into blocks, squeezing out
excess water. (You can add anything that burns, though gunpowder isn't
recommended.)

Stack blocks to dry, and then feed into the Rayburn.

You can (If you can get - or want to get - the materials,) mix
coal-dust/slack with cow dung, or sawdust with cowdung for a good hot
but slow-burning fuel.
