How to Build a Small, Low cost, High Output Waste Oil Heater! (Free Heat!?)

I built this project out of necessity for the cold weather months and I thought that some of you might be interested in following along. Waste oil burners are not new technology at all, and there are many other videos out there of how to build them in many shapes and forms. This is my attempt. I scaled down my unit by a substantial amount because there is a never a need to over complicate things and I am only heating a small area. Waste motor oil is readily available around my area and I can get as much as I want from my local shops at no cost, aside from my already abundant source that I have from changing the oil on our own vehicles.
This is definitely more of a practical project. However, necessity is the mother of invention! I'm a bigger fan of using skills and thought to fill a need than I am using money to fill that same need.
I hope this project can be informative to everyone watching and maybe prompt you to try to build one for yourself if you have similar needs. I was quite happy with my final product and I hope you enjoyed it too!
Please let me know if you have any questions on this or any of my other projects. I will do my best to answer them to the best of my abilities.
Thank you so much for all of the support on these videos. I'll keep making them as long as there is any interest!! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to visit my channel.
If you would like to help me make content and support the channel, then liking, subscribing, and sharing is the best way you can do that. Thank you so much.

60 some odd years ago, my father modified several pot bellied stoves, for friends. He would take a disk from a 6" or 8" harrow and weld 2 short legs and one long leg onto the disk, so that it would set in the firebox of the stove, at an angle of about 45°. He would solder a petcock on the bottom of a one gallon metal cooking oil can. Then he would fill the can with burnt motor oil, hang it on the wall or from a wire, hung from the ceiling, and run about 10ft. of copper tubing to the inside of the stove. The end of the tube was just inside the stove and oil dripping from the tube, would land on the high side of the disk. All you had to do was build a coal fire under the disk, wait for the disk to get hot, and crack open the petcock. oil would slowly drip onto the disk and burn of, as it ran down. As this heated the disk, even more, the oil would almost flash off, when it hie the disk. I can remember seeing those old stoves, on a cold night, glow red, they were so hot.

[@nichudnic2469]

Cheers Bob, i was just thinking how to make something for the inside of an existing firebox!

[@kendonahve924]

I guess an old hubcap might do for a disc .... what we used to call "baby moons" in my area cause harrow disc's are rare in my area. You got my thinker going Bob.

Nice job. I have a drip on my wood burner now but after watching this I gotta build me one

[@ozarkprepper1718]

Another trick is continue to use the wood stove.Take a stainless brake line,run it to the top of the stove to where it will drip oil on the wood fire.At the other end have a tank of oil on the wall dripping into a small funnel into the brake line.That way you can visually control the flow.Once the oil is dripping into the fire,you will have a fire until you shut the oil off. And you can still use it as a wood stove when you run out of oil.

[@user-neo71665]

What I do with my big wood stove. Also pipe the stove inlet so it is feeding off outside air instead of wasting energy warming the air inside the shop then using that to feed the fire and sending it up the stove pipe.

[@michaelsimpson9779]

Not sure if anyone's already commented, Roger Sanders, (or Saunders?) has a design for a waste oil burner that has a passive unpowered air-blast. Very simple and able to be well regulated. What you've done there is good. I believe the "burn cup" will need a clean out from time to time, there tends to be some sort of build up from the impurities in the oil.

[@KingOfCatfish]

This is fantastic! A good source of 120vac to 24vac transformers are old forced air central gas furnaces. It’s used to power the control board and almost all safeties/limits. Also, the draft inducer for the burners is a high output (usually around 3,000rpm) 120vac fan, rated for very high heat, and has an outlet of usually 3”. For extra canisters you can use old refrigerant tanks (same exact design as a helium tank), they’re usually evacuated and a valve will be punched out to prevent being pressurized again. Just fill with water before cutting to purge of any refrigerant that might not have been properly evacuated, some refrigerants are mildly combustible. Call a local HVAC supply company and see if they have any old furnaces and refrigerant tanks lying around, most HVAC service companies will drop them off there for recycling.

I learned many years ago from and old mech. To take used oil and put it into the oil tank used for running the oil furnace for the home. Great way to get ride of used oil. Never had a problem. Filter takes care of most the dirt. 250 gal of diesel dilutes a gal of used oil easily.

Very cool, I shared it with a friend of mine that is trying to build his own

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

Do a revisit after a month or two to see how it had performed, and if any mods had to be done. Keep a close eye on your pop rivets, that high heat may break down the aluminum of the robot then your tank will fall off causing a big fire. Think about using some hex head sheet metal screws or tap the holes for machine screws. Like s 1/4- 20 hex head.

[@chumleye1112]

Thats what I thought too, the rivets are too light with those temperatures.

[@Blackinterceptor999]

i was thinking of a cooking surface, 300 is a wee bit hot for tea/coffee, chili or stew or whatever...

[@bsoz1981]

It's press fit the rivets are extra if i heard right in the video not to mention him hammering it into the top prior to putting the rivets in. Agree with the revisit

[@kradhax0r]

You could just put a few bricks or cinder block under the can so even if the rivets melted it wouldn't fall all the way off.... or move at all if you spaced it right.

[@traderjoes6748]

The burner bowl / canister needs to have access in able to clean the burnt by product.. He's has lost the ability to remove the burner to clean it.Perhaps if he uses a shop vac and gains access via the top cap that he uses to light it might suffice.

[@Gippetos]

Played with waste oil burners for a number of years, and they really can produce a ton of heat simply. That said...they can also turn on you in a heart beat. Just a suggestion based on experience...do not leave it running un attended, and keep an eye on it while it's running. As the fuel warms up, the flow rate increases and you can get a runaway which can get out of hand quicker than you will believe...until it happens.

[@forcesightknight]

Having some thermal mass around the heat source to radiate heat long after the fire is out, helps immensely. Thanks for posting this. So much waste oil.

[@ericharris893]

Seal the holes in a small brake rotor and place it in the woodstove. Install oil dripper tube so it’s over the rotor. Burn wood in the stove as normal and whene the fire is going well, allow oil into the woodstove. The brake rotor keeps the the oil from wicking and Leaching through the ashes to the bottom of the firebox. Before the fire is out, turn the oil off because if it smolders out and the oil doesn’t stay lit, it can puff or “whuff” and blow the chimney off the stove while your not there to save the day.

[@charlesjohnson5579]

I have seen where someone made a third version to the waste oil burner. Their design did not require a fan or electricity. They used hole cut in the bottom, and built the "burning cup" so that as the air for combustion enters the burning chamber, it came in around the center of the burn cup in a spiral, causing the oil and air to mix quite efficiently. This is the build I'm going to be trying first.

Link?

[@Hayden734]

Would you like to share the link or title with the rest of the class?

[@charlesjohnson5579]

I don't know how to share u-tub shows to u-tub again, but the general idea is to have a hole in the bottom which let's the air into the burn chamber. Ut the direction of the air flow is Directed in a spiral around the top of the oil that is burning. Thus as we all know heat rises, which inturn draws its own air into the burn chamber. All that is required is to direct the air into the burn in a right manner, and it all becomes authentic. The only thing left to do is to regulate the oil. Which is covered as well in these videos as well.

[@mathewpullen1167]

The nice thing about waste oil burners is that you can also use cooking oil in them as well. If you know the owners of local restaurants that have deep fryers you can ask them for their waste oil if you run low on motor oil and such. You'll just have to do some filtering steps to remove the heavy particulate that builds up is all.
