Related: a guy in Poland posted online about buying supermarket donuts to use as fuel in a wood-burning stove. The donuts turned out an order of magnitude cheaper than firewood.
Poland is still fairly religious and I’ve heard accounts of the amount some people eat on Fat Thursday on the leadup to Easter. Pretty sure that a specific type of donut is quite popular for it. So yeah, probably related
That suggests you could mix flour and vegetable oil and maybe dry it into bricks which might be cheaper than donuts usual are. I wonder how dirty that burns…
Could be. A little char can make things easier to light. But I’ve never tried lighting a greasy dough block, so I don’t know whether it needs help or not.

I wish donuts were that cheap near me. The dollars to donuts phrase has been backward for like at least 10 years in my area.
Dude who downvoted you: How dare you be relevant, insightful, and correct.

Maybe the frying is the special sauce in making them more flammable? Fry donuts with a donut-fueled stove to get more donuts for fuel.
