Very good Gerry. Maybe people are listening a bit better than in the old days. There's whispers about some shady folks intending to mess with the power grid and heating which we all took for granted may not be available on demand for a while so viewers are searching the internet for alternatives. Even if they don't mess with the grid and just boost the price for fuel and power, it makes sense to find alternatives just in case. Regardless, it was very enjoyable to watch and learn. Take care brother.

[@metalmark8]

Looks like you were exactly right in your assumption there paddy. Take care man

[@PaddyNinja]

@@metalmark8 I wish I was not my friend. I wish I were just being foolish and worrying over nothing. Have the means to boil water kelly kettle or whatever and fill many water bottles to keep warm at night. God will see you through.😊🙏🙏🙏

[@metalmark8]

@@PaddyNinja seems we are screwed now mate, can't see any way out that's not going to be bad. If I had known all of this before I would never have had children, I fear for them most of all. How can I protect all 5 at once, especially if they have all grown up and moved around the country. It's very scary mate. I've been watching these kinds of videos for years now just incase and I'm so pleased that they exist. Stay safe buddy

[@PaddyNinja]

@@metalmark8 Your thoughts mirror my own. The only part you left out is everyone thinks I'm crazier than a bag of cats 🤪. Consecrate your children to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. And make as many small preparations as you can. ie; an extra 20 dollars worth of tinned meat each week and say the Rosary of Provision. I know it's not fair of me to suggest faith, but as evil has a plan, so too does Heaven.

[@robb4044]

I made a very simple version of this with a steel Hienekin beer 'keg-can' and a couple of sections of stove pipe. I don't know what temp it reached, just that it was glowing red and throwing out a LOT of heat. Thanks for the inspiration!

Dear Gerry. You have demonstrated several waste oil burners that work similarly. Which of the burners is the most optimal in your opinion. I mean the cost and labor consumption of its implementation to the efficiency and ease of use and smokeless combustion. greetings

[@LogCabinHomestead]

Hi Gerry, I just found your videos earlier this week. Really enjoying them! Every year I make a brush pile in the back of my property and burn it in the winter when we have lots of snow cover. Of course the brush pile is covered in snow as well so sometimes it’s hard to get it going. But the past few years I’ve used waste oil to get it started and I’m always amazed at the energy that comes off that stuff! Gets the pile burning in nothing flat! From witnessing that it makes me want to get a waste oil burner to heat my shop, now after seeing what you have done maybe I will make my own. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi. Thanks for the comment Here's a little stove that I made for the shed that makes plenty of heat on little enough oiul about 2 litres per hour but could be increased kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp_ddnd7pd9mj80 Cheers Gerry

[@LogCabinHomestead]

[@DarrenMalin]

With respected Sir make Briquettes out of the bush and burn them in a stove in the shop.

[@Tadek5]

@@GerrysDiy 2 litres/ hour means about 20 kWat of power. Quite enough to heat a garage or even whole house..

[@ronwhittaker6317]

trick. i can think of quite the many applications for that steam power come's to mind with a little more effort and backyard ingenuity. i like it.

Anyway of making a safety shut off to the oil incase someone has to leave and it gets to hot?

[@husseinalmosawi7923]

Hi , How many liters are spent per hour?

[@asulwer]

i see that the chimney pipe is red hot, would reducing the diameter restrict the airflow and produce less heat?

[@davidnunez3523]

Thank you for the idea I'm going to build one soon with a heat exchanger to port hot air into a living area.

[@danielmacdonald5181]

Did you try used motor oil? I have lots, just wondering.

[@tstricklin4808]

Same here😆✌🖖

[@TheRebelmanone]

That is waste oil, this is a waste oil burner, yes. But this is not permanent, it is only for proof of concept it will only work until it melts apart in a short time. But if you use heavier materials, as well as incorporate knowledge on how to get a complete efficient burn, along with some safety in the design it could be permanent

[@zacholtz8676]

Whats the smoke like comming out of the stack

[@nucleargator1]

Was wondering if old diesel fuel would work, and if the smoke would be burnt off as well? Any ideas? Keep up the good work.

[@marcelsinky1652]

Hello Since the smoke is unburned combustible, from the moment you go over 600°C the smoke will be consumed. We can't see on top of his pipe, but there is no smoke on this kind of system. Because as far as you go on hight temperature, you burn it all. And old oil from engine would definitively work ;)

[@1979augistine]

Absolutely soon as it gets hot it will burn clear

[@user-po4bn3gi1u]

I thought 5k for a waste oil heater was a lot for my garage workshop. After watching all these DIY waste oil videos that will kill me slowly but surely, I decided $5k is a bargain. Thank you. This was indeed helpful.

[@kanalbiruserius8525]

That system does not need any air compressor, only drip waste oil, is it? And with that confuguration, how much waste oil consumption per hour ? may be you could calculate the heat in Watts.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi. This was just a demo unit but there is no outside air or compressor just a gravity oil feed and that's it. Have a look at some of the burners I have made in this playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PLmQ5wJnkAIoJYDBgSOis9s1yDhcFdswtN Hope this helps Cheers Gerry

[@jeremystiltner6781]

I went off of your original videos with the propane tank and made my own a couple years ago. I made mine with a 60 gallon air compressor tank. Heated my 1900 square feet garage last winter and burned around 50 gal of used motor oil.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Jeremy. That's a great result for you, These things can work really well and make a lot of heat. My latest stove / cooker delivers lots of heat without a fan but I have to admit looks a bit nuts lol. Well done and thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry

[@jeremystiltner6781]

GerrysDiy Yes it's has done a great job. I do appreciate your videos and guidance and instructions. they were very helpful. Would like to see a jet burner burn barrel to burn debris from yard. I use my blower on one and worked great with a mixture of dryed wood and fresh cut . Jet burner would dry the wood and burn it fast. Might be a idea for you another video.

[@Bizzaro500]

[@MoondyneJoe]

Hi Gerry it is great to see the options you keep coming up with it gives us future builders ideas or even confidence to try it ourselves esp when you see how simplified you have got it down to now O know the Round tin can cause vortices to form when the fire gets going but is their any reason not to try a square oil burning tin? maybe a vain or so inside it could help flow of air I am just curious for those who build more of a square type of waste oil burning stove to go around it Tony

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Tony. It's been mad on this channel. Views went up by about 0.5m and subs by over 2k in a month. Keeping up with the comments is a little tricky too. I think it would work with a square tin no problem. If there were issues all you would need to do is throw in some type of baffle inside. I am going to be going with powered units next I think. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Gerry

[@MoondyneJoe]

Hi Gerry I'm so glad your channel is growing you are one of the best adviser inventors on Waste oil heaters around Gerry and being a plumber has some validation as well a Idea for you as well How about including a water heating coil in the heater as well as a cook top so you can really make use of any heat created? would you need some sort of regulator on it if so The reason I ask is my sister has a Solar hot water system on her roof and I was thinking of Including the Stove as a heater booster for her Solar heater ( at present she is using an electric one obviously using power to boost the temps) Tony

[@decorativeironplus4644]

Gerry i have watched several of you vids and what your doing is awesome but i have a question ? to see what your thoughts are last year i put an overhead gas heater in my shop and it works really well however when i got the gas bill i all about came unglued and thought well this isnt going to be cost effective so i put an old wood stove in and will keep the shop 70 degrees as long as i keep the fire roaring . but after seeing some of your vids i think this might be another way to go my question is do you think if i set up a burner similar to the one your showing in your vid here to set inside the stove by itself if it would be able to create enough vortex effect to allow it to burn properly in other words the openness of the inside of the stove may be to much volume of air space around the flame to allow it to flow properly without having a flu pipe directly on top of the oil burner housing if this makes any sense thank you Bill from Nevada USA

[@waterfuel]

Have you heard about the used oil furnace from 1950 that ran on water? Patent was issued to army service men in Texas for ONLY adding water line to T fitting for used oil burner on used jeep engine oil, to get 50% increase in efficiency. That was not what was written in their application for Patent. SS coil tubing in brick insulated firepot of oil burner hooked to input common water line. Oil furnace started. Temperature gauge monitored for temp up to 1500 degrees F. Then valve opened so as superheated steam is allowed in T fitting with oil to nozzel. Nice burn flame runs constant. Then oil line shut off. Furnace still runs. Shock wave from 90 lbs pressure to AMBIANT zero in firepot forms hydrogen and oxygen torch flame that also heats heat exchanger. Normally water molecules separate at about 3-6000 degrees which is too much energy. The vibration shock wave allows for disassociation at lower temperature. Electric motor with dual shafts ran 2 oil pumps at 90lbs. If water shut off, and cooled down, the furnace has to be restarted on oil. (US patent office not allow overunity for public.)

the problem I faced with oil from pickles and similar, is that it can't ignite easily : I had to let it inside drop by drop

[@GerrysDiy]

This type of burner needs to be red hot to ignite the oil so I start it on Kerosene and when hot enough add the oil and it keeps going on oil alone. hope this helps cheers Gerry

Hi NandoDando. I made a waste oil burner that I placed in a domestic boiler stove in my home. It runs on 2 litres of veggie oil per hour. Here's a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXLQeYGma8uCi6M ...... I have made my own stoves too here's a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp_ddnd7pd9mj80 Cheers Gerry

[@markyambler05]

Great simple design. Love it 🍺 Wondering if you could introduce a small copper coil up through the flume circulating water from a small children’s pool powered by a pond pump. I currently use a gas BBQ with copper coil inside, garden hose, pond pump, works a treat but expensive to run.

[@michaelcastro5339]

If you permanently build the unit next to the pool it should be simple to just weld the copper coil to the flute itself or you can mount a heat exchanger into it and plug the water recirculator into that, you might need a fan to boost the flame if your piping blocks too much of the space in the chimney, depending on how you set it up you wouldn't even need a pump, the hot water would cause itself to move you just need to make sure that the entire pipe is filled with water before you turn on the heat, you would just need to be careful as the water output would be literally 100 degrees Celsius (212f) at the exit. If you put a pump the water will never get that hot before returning to the pool.

[@frankbroos4471]

All your videos show a vertical exhaust I wondered how far you could push a flame along a horizontal chamber before running it out a chimney like a rocket stove burn chamber .[un insulated ]

[@gow03333]

Smarter people than me come to the conclusion that you must take the stack 600mm vertical before changing direction, then 45degrees , with oil boilers pressure jet or vapourising.

[@johnrobdoyle]

An object with a polished metal surface, for instance, emits far less infrared radiation than the same object painted with matte black paint. emissivity is the opposite of reflectivity. A high emissivity makes a surface easy to measure using an infrared thermometer; a low emissivity is more of a challenge. Emissivity is usually about 0.95 for most non-reflective non-metals.

[@davecox900]

Gerry what stops the flame setting the oil on fire and running back up to the supply line to the reservoir / oil holder

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Dave. There are a couple of things at play here. There is negative pressure in that pipe and air is being pulled down that 1/2 inch pipe into the burner which helps cool it. The oil also cools it and the flame is more interested in travelling up the flue. My other burners work on the same principle but I have the oil feed pipe inside an air feed pipe on some of the burners. I can force air in this way too. Here's a link to my new burner kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYKxnJichMmqi8k Hope this helps Cheers Gerry

[@chesterchub7503]

Looking into building one. I have a few questions. How long did it take to get the stove pipe red hot ? How long does a liter of oil last at the burn rate you were using ? Can you see the emissions coming out the exhaust pipe ?
