How I built an oil burning stove

Not much to tell just building a stove here.

[@robertmorris9998]

This is inspirational! You did so many things wrong, and it still worked out. I think ur gonna want a bigger chimney pipe but the rest of it should be OK!! Good job!

[@bluecollar8729]

Thanks lol. And yeah deffinatly need a bigger exhaust pipe. Not exactly the greatest airflow with the smaller one.

[@mikealvarado654]

Here's a tip for the door someone else has noticed. Make the outline of the door, then only cut the side where you want the hinge. Then attach the hinges. After that, cut the other 3 sides of the door. Your door should be perfectly lined up to the stove. If you use good hinges.

[@bluecollar8729]

Thanks lol just wish I knew before but in any case it makes next time easier. Much appreciated!

I like it, I did basically the same thing a couple of years ago, but I used a old hot water tank and I made a wood burning cook stove and a barbecue pit. Its good for a man's soul to fabricate something and actually make it functional. Good job my friend!

[@bluecollar8729]

Thank you. I figured it wouldn't be to hard but I was a bit wrong. It was a fun project and still needs a bit of work but works none the less.

[@tuckswanger]

Great job and guide to go by

[@bluecollar8729]

Thank you!

[@handduggraverdronline]

Should set the hinges before you cut the door completely free

[@bluecollar8729]

Man I wish I would have knows that before lol. Thank you for the info much appreciated!

[@tormong888]

Wow this is awesome really great vid! Very cool design.

[@bluecollar8729]

Thanks man glad u like it. You gonna build one?

[@Farm_fab]

Make sure that you have a fresh air opening, and have a way to keep the gaps around the door closed off to prevent carbon monoxide from getting in your shop. You might want to check out the burners that Gerry's Diy makes. They burn very hot and require no fans for most of them. See the one he makes from a round cookie can and a dog food can.

[@bluecollar8729]

Okay ill have to look into it. Thanks for the info, Merry Christmas to you as well

[@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr]

@@bluecollar8729 You don't need to worry about gaps in the door the heat will draw air in through them so it's not critical.

[@jeffhausmann7561]

Good job on building the heater. I do have one question. Why did you use speed-rail fittings instead of pipe fittings and threaded pipe? It would have been much easier that way.

[@bluecollar8729]

I was hoping to make it easy to take on an off not thinking of air flowing around everything. Poor planning in all honesty.

[@melvis2017]

U great good explanations and keep inspire us with your creative projects thanks for sharing 🇩🇰👍

[@bluecollar8729]

Thanks for the inspiration 🙏. I'll keep it up for sure. Appreciate it!

[@mikebond6328]

I tried a chimney pipe that size and I couldn’t get it to draw. Eventually I put a 6 inch pipe in. I made an opening at the bottom with a door so I could control air flow and I don’t need a fan.

[@bluecollar8729]

Well when I have air flow it exhausts just fine. But im working out the fan problem. Got a million ideas and haven't started yet. But that you for the info.

[@knobsdialsandbuttons]

Before you scrap the pump, check the brand. If it’s a Saylor-Beall it may be worth restoring. They are big $$$$$ I picked one up from the scrap yard for $100 with a Saylor-Beall 705 and an 80 gal tank. After researching, I found the same setup was worth almost $6500! Also, a log splitter works great for dismounting tires.

[@bluecollar8729]

Thanks for the info. Ill have to check onto it but as far as the log splitter goes thats a new one

[@LaunceBugbee]

Gear oil stinks regardless… great video, by the way…

[@bluecollar8729]

Thank you. And yes it is awful smelling. I can stand it when is a liquid but when its smoke its so bad 👎.

[@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr]

It's a matter of adjusting the fuel and air mix, once that is right it will burn without smell or smoke. Probably has to get massively hot though.

[@129gribbz]

Small PC fan would fit and work to draw air

[@bluecollar8729]

Huh I never thought of that. Ill have to look into it a bit see if I can find one that is variable speed and configured wall outlet maybe. Or build one idk.

[@VenturiLife]

@@bluecollar8729 PC fans are DC 12V usually so you can just put a potentiometer in-line and control the speed that way. A simple PC fan has only 2 wires, some have a third for speed control.

[@bluecollar8729]

@@VenturiLife well today I found a fan I can use but in the future ill have to look into this its interesting. Thank you

[@Twogreenfeet]

Some fans are 5 volt and work well with a cell phone charger.

Have you heard about the used oil furnace from 1950's that ran on water? Patent was issued to army service men in Texas for only adding the initial 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 tiny nozzle. Nice burn flame runs constant. Then oil line was quickly shut off. Furnace still runs. Shock wave from 90 lbs pressure to zero AMBIENT in fire-pot forms Hydrogen and Oxygen torch flame that also heats heat ex changer. Normally water molecules separate at about 3000-6000 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 input water shut off, and cooled down, then furnace has to be restarted on oil. A much smaller unit in crate was shown to a US senator in Washington building underground parking , as an open trunk display. This was somewhat similar to the propane operated camping stove with circular pores, vertical round fire brick insulated chimney, and interior SS tubing of initial water. When steam introduced to T fitting, the fuel used was shut down leaving burning circular torch flames. It probably used minerals free distilled water so as nozzle would not clog. (US Patent office not allow for over unity for public.- Free Energy is eliminated in issued US Patents. US- 1958, 2,863,499.

[@bluecollar8729]

I thought I replied to this comment earlier. Apologies friend I have not heard of this before, and I am interested if they have a video about this. Would you happen to have a link to a video? Thanks for the information!

[@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr]

Any kind of setup that uses water in the fuel will NOT burn as hot without the water. Water will only slow the burn down. There is a system that heats up the water and uses the steam to draw extra air in and you wouldn't need a fan or blower for the burn but in no way does the water come into contact with the fuel.

[@waterfuel]

The water furnace did not have water or steam mixed with fuel oil. The heat ex-changer in brick highly insulated fire pot , was brought up to =/> 1500 degrees F. Oil removed when steam valve was opened. This was a new science phenomena when the shock wave broke up the H20 molecule at the unusual lowered temperature. Read paragraph again. The US Patent issued was NOT what was asked for in the complete application manuscript in 1950. Patent said steam mixed with fuel oil.

[@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr]

It may burn but it will never be hotter with water than without.@@waterfuel

[@lukejackson8525]

Need a guard on that angle grinder. I've seen bad things happen. Good job otherwise.

[@bluecollar8729]

Thanks for the concern. I would have used one but unfortunately the wheel was to wide for it.

[@kylejones2075]

I want to try something like that but I want to put that container into a larger container put some piping around it and then pour sand in it to see if that won't make like a better heater and then blow air through it for the heat I don't know if I'm making a much sense but you can figure it out that would be kind of cool you are better shop than I do

[@bluecollar8729]

The sand would be a good insulator I guess I have seen it gets hot enough to boil things just by touching them to the sand. But its an interesting idea for sure! Hope to see the creation some day.

[@kylejones2075]

Leave it outside cuz it'll get way too hot but then I'd use some sort of water and radiator fluid with I don't know text may not handle the heat need to have to be copper to a radiator the fan behind it and blow the hot air across the crawl space my ideas are better than my ability to create it but I'm going to try

[@kylejones2075]

Yeah I'd like to put it outside and run some piping off of it to radiator the fan behind it and let it blow the hot air across the crawl space kind of like a boiler only outside kind of like those wood stoves only hotter and not have to burn as much wood

[@bluecollar8729]

@@kylejones2075 the whole reason I built this was because I wanted another heat source besides wood. But if u build it it will always be better then bought

[@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr]

If you insulate the chamber too much you may end up melting it :) The idea is to extract as much heat OUT of the burner before it goes out the flue.

[@maxdespines1282]

Make sure that pipe isn’t galvanized the fumes from welding/burning are super toxic

[@bluecollar8729]

U is not galvanized to my knowledge but im not 100%sure what its made out of. Thanks for the concerns tho.

[@Moonlightshadow-lq4fr]

@@bluecollar8729 as long as you don't stick your head in the tank for the first burn it won't harm you , the fumes go up the flue! I still wouldn't put my head in after the first burn either :)
