The enormous value of the ability to produce heat isn't fully appreciated until it's freezing cold.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi John. I hope you're keeping well. It's nice to be able to keep warm for very little money. Ireland does not get as cold as Canada but it's very damp in winter so it really bites. I have some plans for this new burner so more videos soon. Cheers Gerry

[@KowboyUSA]

GerrysDiy I have a mountain sized pile of firewood for the house, but also have a small shop without woodstove; and diesel truck that leaves me with nearly 4 gallons of dirty oil after each oil change. It'd be thrifty to use the waste oil to heat the shop. Cheers!

Delighted it's worked out for you. Doing a boiler stove next so lots of hot water I hope. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Gerry

[@limpdickit]

an old buddy of mine ran a mechanics shop out of an old service station. he was heating it with a double barrel wood stove, and he used to go through around 8 ricks of wood each winter. he would often throw some old oil in to get the fire going in the morning. one day he got the idea to make a drip feed for starting the fires and it worked so well he used it all the time to help heat his shop and for the first time in years his shop was actually warm. he hung a 30 gallon barrel on the wall with a screen on the top to filter out the crud and a 1/4 inch copper line running from the side of the barrel 4 inches from the bottom to the top of the bottom barrel of his stove and it had a valve to regulate and turn off the flow of oil. he would build a wood fire and turn the drip on. one time he ran out of wood and figured out if he could get a fire started he didnt need wood at all. he piled a bunch of exhaust pipes in his stove and took his torch and heats one of the pipes on top cherry red and turned on the oil and it burned turning all the pipes cherry red and heating his shop with no wood at all. no fancy burner needed.

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

I went through the same transition with my barrel burner a few years ago too & I haven't cut fire wood in a long time now. I have a waste oil tank outside & a veggie oil tank inside the shop. I'm in the Rocky Mountains & it can get below -30c here.

Excellent Idea! But i regulate by air with no dropper. Heat output is really fantastic! From Russia with Respect!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Great vid! Watching this as it's 10°F / -12.2°C outside here in Massachusetts USA. Nice job on that stove! I built one myself a few years back out of a warm air coal furnace. Drilled through the side for 2-1/2 inch / 63.5mm pipe (auto exhaust), ran 3/8" / 9.5mm copper tubing through the center, and through an old, gutted Beckett oil burner unit - used that for just the supercharging effect of the fan. From there, I used rubber fuel line to a valve to regulate oil flow. Sealed the other end into a 6 gallon / 22.7 Liter plastic bucket for the oil tank. Inside the stove, I used 3 brake rotors - one large one off my Chevy Silverado (welded the lug and hub holes closed), and 2 small ones off the rear of a Toyota Camry - i cut the faces off, and welded them both together, making what looks like an iron spool (just to create a large heat sink) with a hollow center. I set that on top of the Chevy brake rotor. Once she heats up, I plug in the Beckett burner / supercharger, and this thing will melt your face! :D Burned all the paint off the front of the stove, lol. Glass on the door was over 950°F / 510° C. Heats my uninsulated 38' x 26' / 11.58m x 7.92m barn with 8' / 2.43m ceiling, and a 5' / 1.52m loft above to 70°F / 21°C. Burns everything from gear lubricant, to power steering fluid, to motor oil and even brake fluid & antifreeze. Zero smoke, unless I really push it hard. Not too shabby. :) I got the idea for this one from quite a few of your videos, so THANK YOU!

[@jeffp366]

[@acadman4322]

I like your design. Clearly, you have given a lot of thought and experimentation to your idea. And, it works quite well. Excellent. I suggest just one thought, though. You are using heated air for combustion air. If you could devise a way to use outside air for combustion air, you would gain quite a bit. No point in sending expensive BTUs right up the flue if you can help it. I know you are in a leaky shop and you are burning cheap waste oil- But, if you can get some extra from it without too much more expense, it would that much better, No?

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Tino. They work great with a stove with good draw from the flue. I found that if the flue was 4 metres / 14 feet and 150 / 6 inch in diameter then the stove with the holes is easy to make and works like a chanp. I have a few of these and when one gets full of waste / ash I just put in a clean one and go again. Hope this helps Cheers Gerry 👍

[@ryanhigbee4713]

Gerry, I've been using your initial power burner design for going on 3yrs now and aways get a build up in the bottom of my burn pot of carbon but from watching this build I realized it's probably because my burn pot is too thick and doesn't get hot enough, I'm using the base to a welding tank that a local supplier scrapped at my local junk yard. I think I will make a thinner one this weekend and see if it makes a difference. I'd lost a picture but I can't on here. Thanks for all the great videos

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Ryan. I connected this burner without the stove outside to a big fan and the output was fierce. That video will be live today so you might get some ideas from that. If the pots and plates are too thick with the updraft designs it's very hard to get the pot to temperature for the burn. For the powered versions you can put somthing in range of the flame that will glow and that will help. You can message me on face book or send a link here. Cheers Gerry

That is absolutely brilliant! You should draw it all up and print off some simple stapled DIY construction booklets for those of us who like working from plans. I need to build something like this for when my workshop has it's ceiling (a concrete suspended 1st floor in a barn will make 2 90m² areas workshop below and living space above) I can't really heat the place as it is, too much volume and any heat would go straight out through the Roman canal tile roof anyway, but once it's done this thing would be excellent. Maybe next you could do one which could run a back boiler for central heating? I want to run pipes in the concrete upper floor, and link it to the central heating circuit in the house part of this place... I love the idea of burning waste oil....there's plenty about!

Gerry, its been 30 years since I worked in an auto shop who used a waste oil burning system. Back then the unit pushed out so much black carbon "strings" out of the chimney that the neighbors got together and had the thing shut down because their houses and cars and stuff were getting covered with the black "strings". does your burner push this stuff out of the chimney, or does it burn clean?

[@yodamann5193]

Simple replacement to the other one with holes, makes sense , force the air to come in through smaller slits, would give a Venturi effect, and speed up the air coming in. So how high above the inner “ pot “ is the outer “ pot “ maybe an inch or 2? Great work again Jerry,

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Madd Macc. There is a 2 inch height difference between the inner tube and the outer pot. It works really well and is easier to clean. I didn't make the air intake adjuster yet but it's making some serious heat and again no smoke. For the craic I connected this burner to a bouncy castle fan and lit it in my yard and this thing rocks. I made a video so it will be live today. The older unit with the holes was a great burner but this is better. Cheers Gerry

[@rehmandurrani1211]

Hi dear, I belong to a cold region, can you show me how to make this stove step by step.

[@PicMartSkunkWerX]

Gerry, Another great job! I really like the simplified burners that do not require electric combustion air fans or compressed air over nozzles. There are brake drums, tanks, steel, pipe and valves in my scrap and storage bins so I think I can put something together relatively easily and perhaps for free. On this newest design, instead of rectangular windows for the combustion air, do you think a row or two of holes might create more turbulence? I am toying with an idea of making vanes (like a fan blade assembly) underneath, where the air enters, to induce a swirling effect as it goes up the burner's center air inlet pipe. Then holes instead of rectangles in the "hat" piece. The holes would be bent to make them a scoop shape (using a steel rod in the hole, then bend, depressing one side of the hole and raising the other side). Summing it up: the air entering the unit would have a slight swirl induced, then, as it continued into the burner assembly it would enter the combustion area through the "scooped" holes, hopefully continuing the swirl effect. If you want to experiment with this idea, please feel free to do so. I will post results when I have a prototype, but it will be after the holidays. Keep up the great work!!! Very much enjoying your progress and experimentation.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi SkunkWerX I am not sure which would be better. I will be making a few of these so I might try holes in one and multiple smaller slots. I got very close with this one for output and lack of smoke. I think induced vortices would help with the burn and make things more efficient even a little fan to rotate the air in the chamber. There are lots of things that can be done with this one I think. I am uploading a video of this burner with forced air only and outside in the yard. Amazingly I was able to light it and get it running in a windy area with just a lighter and some firelighter . Output was extreme and with the bigger fan was good enough for foundry I think. will be live a littler later today. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry

[@jackbursovsky]

I like your idea and think it's a well thought out plan, however, air that moves on its own accord behaves differently than forced air. The vanes would not impart the same swirling effect on the updraft as it would on forced air. The updraft is simply moving to a region of lower pressure whereas forced air is pressurized (it has speed) and has direction (which can be controlled).

Hi Gary. If you look to the left of this stove in the video you can see some pipework and a boiler. It will have a riello or bentone burner and will be in a video soon. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry

@@GerrysDiy I just bought a second hand Riello and it works great I am going to try and extend the trigger arm and fuel pipe 1 metre if poss to see if it still has the power to ignite at that length, can't see why it would not work?

[@schmidfarms1702]

Right on man looks great!

[@GerrysDiy]

Thanks 👍

GerrysDiy ----- 3 years ago --- were still waiting - is he still alive? Hi John. I hope you're keeping well. It's nice to be able to keep warm for very little money. Ireland does not get as cold as Canada but it's very damp in winter so it really bites. I have some plans for this new burner so more videos soon. Cheers Gerry

[@Clunk49]

Your chimney draws really good. What are the chimney dimensions? TIA

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Clunk49. I have 6 inch pipe 14 feet long or in metric 150mm dia and 4.2m long the longer the better and it makes the gases mix vigourously. Hope this helps Cheers Gerry 👍👍

Hi, What type of glass did you use?

[@scotcoon1186]

I wonder how a burner like this set in a wood burning furnace would work? Just for the safety of having a proper firebox and for forced hot air circulation.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Scott. I had this burner working in a domestic stove and it worked great and made hotnwater too but it was just an experiment. Theres a video in the playlist. I will link later. Cheers Gerry

[@helmutlembke7320]

Gerry you get a super job, i like your work and your video´s, doit agan. Germany wish it

[@kracticuspotts9686]

I built one of your burners with the pipe in a pipe design do you like this one better?

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Gerry im re-designing my current setup to feed more oil so i can build this burner im maxing out my feed valves 1/4in at full tilt and it could still be hotter 😆i really dig the simplicity of your builds and the high output for such little investment

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Jake. Last night was the first time I got to see this setup in action and I expected that I would have to make some mods to make it run but it was full on nuclear for the amount of fuel I was giving it. It's easier to clean after use than my other one too. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry

[@JodBronson]

+Jake Browne - Go with 1" Feed Tubes with screw ends. I've experimented both 1/4 +3/8, won't do it and both clogged easily during heating :((((. Over time it needed extra cleaning or another way have another feed Tube and pour your Kerosene in as Starter Starter Fluid + Cleaning Fluid. Also, do it with TWO (2) pipes... Screw in one, while you clean the other and time is not wasted during cleaning. But over all, 1 inch Copper Pipe Feed Tube would be the ideal from my experience.

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Jordan Bronson thats the plan huge feed tube to a 1/2" valve never use it all but make it easier to balance air fuel ratio over the small line when warn small lines are fine but cold they barely flow so when set cold it will over fuel once warm larger feed would have less restriction cold so easier to regulate

[@JodBronson]

+Jake Browne - The flow are fine... I find Crude / Carbon deposit at the tip... Since my Pipes are right above the Flames :(((. Do you have Blow Air or Natural Draft like in the Video here?

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

Jordan Bronson my system is fan forces like a forge search barrel stove oil burner conversion look for my name i have 2 videos first is 30 seconds showing the burner inside second is and explanation of my feed system and air intake im trying to simplify it to make it more off grid capable, gravity drip updraft with the option to fan force and increase fuel intake for those extra cold days is my ideal setup

[@vr6prodigy]

What are your thoughts on a smaller porch burner? I have this idea of having something that'll put out enough heat to warm my wife and I on cold mornings while we sit and enjoy our coffee. However, the porch is screened in and relatively small. 2.5 meters by 6 meters. Its long but narrow. I worry that the standard sized stuff would be to hot and would melt/cause fires. What do you think?

Looks like you're wearing an Ireland hang gliding and paragliding tee shirt! Hello from Canada!

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Golfnut Bruce. Hello from Ireland where it's a bit windy and 6 degrees C. I would call it cold but everytime I do my Canadian friends call me a sissy and tell me that it's -20c there and they are out in their Tee-Shirt s😜 Well spotted on the hang gliding and paragliding. I fly paragliders and parmotors here which is great when the weather plays ball but no break in the weather for a while to come I think. Great to hear from Canada Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍👍

[@BruceBusby]

@@GerrysDiy I fly everything from my piper cherokee, helicopters, paramotor and my Hang glider but my fave is my Ozone Delta 4 paraglider! Great video btw, one of y hangars is unheated! I'll subscribe

[@Snailmailtrucker]

Hi Gerry....Great Videos.... hope you are feeling better and Merry Christmas ! I'm looking forward to seeing your Mini version when you feel well enough and find some time to get back out into your shop ! Liked/Subscribed !

[@nealschwabauer5127]

I agree with Tom Morrissey . My carrier said that it had to be U L listed, & follow construction rules. I took pics. & sent it to them. I also heat my home with wood. I am a general contractor, so I knew the rules for both places. I had both inspected by a qualified inspector. I do pay a premium on my house & shop heaters. My insurance agent who wrote my policy helped tremendously. My house is now 38 years old. My shop is 36 years old. If you build with the ICBO book, which is becoming more & more standard, you'll find the rules. When you work with those people it is simple.

could you use a brake drum for the "pot" part???
