Waste oil Blue Flame Multi Fuel Camping Stove CONSTRUCTION and USE

[@alejandrogarcia-oo8nl]

I think your work with the liquid fuel stove is fantastic. I think it is a great solution for many people to be able to use any type of oil as fuel to cook with a clean flame without smoke. this can save many lives. Thank you very much for sharing your work

Hello alejandro garcia! Always good to hear from you. 😊 Thanks for the comment. This same stove is currently being modified for simultaneous cooking and hot water production. New video in the coming weeks...

Thank You! I’ve been looking for this!!!!

[@james9789]

I like to use a Kelly kettle to boil water/ cook .to start I dip a bit of wood shaving into used oil ,(very small amount) start the fire then add seasoned dried wood then let the wind do the rest.This stove you're showcasing here is Astronomical !!!

[@eshetchayil4669]

I enjoy cooking on cast iron pans too!

[@learn2farmagain30]

Yes, very useful. 😊

Thank you for sharing your great idea ,I would like to make one like this .

Good job

[@moonshiner2977]

Absolutely brilliant !

[@arklaskanadventures]

How are you attaching that Dan to it? I tried to pause it and watch over and over and I can’t tell.

Hey @arklaskanadventures, Great question. The fan just slides on the pipe shown at the 1:07 time mark. Most fans either fit inside or outside the 3/4" pipe used. We've found that the computer "squirrel cage" type lasts the longest-very efficient. Happy building.

Love this idea with blue flame stoves very well done, would this stove work with a 4.5 inch fires extinguisher ? I do not have a wider one. Have you tried a narrower tube for the stove body and if so what size holes would you drill for the air jets ? Thanks Gary

[@learn2farmagain30]

Hey Gary Treagust, Yes, you can use 4.5" with no problem, just make sure it is steel, not aluminum. Aluminum will work, but only for about 10 minutes. These furnaces run very hot, which is another reason they are so useful, but they will melt aluminum when normal operating temperature is reached. You also have a couple options when you make the burner for a 4.5 inch. For the 5" we have both a burner with 5/64" holes and one with 1/16" (4/64") holes. The 5/64" was a little more stable although both had a blue flame and both worked well. For this reason, you might want to start with the 1/16", then if you want to compare to 5/64" you could just drill slightly bigger holes instead of having to build 2 burners right away. 😊 Thanks for the great comment, sounds like your well on your way to easy 3 minute camping eggs too. Be sure and catch the next video about converting this same camping furnace into a hot water production wonder!

@@learn2farmagain30 Hi my friend thank you so much for giving me the information I wanted. I know how much time and effort it must take to do this if you do a lot of YT. I did try once before to make a ten inch burner using your information but my welding on the bottom nipple was not very good and I had oil seepage from the weld so I gave up with it, but I will try again. I am quite new to welding and metal work and have only ever done wood work projects all of my life but I am really enjoying the challenge apart from the dirty hands that is :-). Any way thanks again for your help it is appreciated , I love what you are doing with this idea and how you are transforming this idea into so many new designs . All the best, Gary.

@@garytreagust2391 You could have the air feed from the top and do away with the bottom /inlet/outlet altogether. Just remember to cap the bottom of the air feed off so it's not submerged in the fuel.

[@papabapyro8169]

@@moonshiner2977 I was thinking about drilling a couple holes in the bottom of my top feed air tube with the thought it would help vaporize the oil better. Is that a bad idea? Thanks

[@moonshiner2977]

Do you know if it's possible to pour 3 pints of oil into it, start it and let it burn for several hours or does it overwhelm the burner ? If it is, it could be installed into any house with a fire place :) I plan to try timing pint for hour fuel burned but it will take a long time to get the figures, even a ball park figure because the burn rate will be dramatically different depending where the burner is used, but worth a shot :)

[@learn2farmagain30]

Hey Moon shiner, Thanks for the excellent question. Depending on your blower, because more air equals more heat and faster use of the fuel, as mentioned in the video, we get a hour to an hour and a half for a 1/2 cup of oil with the blower shown. You can put much more fuel in and it works fine but you can't go higher than your holes inside the burner or, obviously it will pour out the blower hole until the level goes below the holes again. You probably want to leave at least a 1/2" between your fuel level and the bottom burner holes. Of course the burner can be adjusted in height at construction to get more room, but eventually you'll get too far away from the low oil level for a good burn, there is a "sweet spot" like with anything and that would require experimentation specific to your application. Happy building.

[@learn2farmagain30]

Hey Moon shiner, Please see the Dangers video to be accustomed to all complications possible if you choose to use in a house. The vapors are very explosive, especially if they build up in a confined space (such as a fireplace). Always be very sure of your set up before anything is ever brought into a house.

[@moonshiner2977]

@@learn2farmagain30 Yes I can well understand that safety is a priority, and it did cross my mind that pouring in too much fuel to begin with could get so hot to cause a massive explosion. I have had mini bursts using my small burner when it has gone out on occasions and then relights itself :) Something I do want to try outside though is to put a pint of fuel in and see what happens. The cylinder won't explode but may get a powerful boom if it does go into thermal overdrive. Having said that though, it would be quite safe to have a float valve and add to that a thermal shut off valve if the burner does go out, knowing the limit of the burner would be useful I would have thought.

[@learn2farmagain30]

Hey Moon shiner, Great ideas, I would like to see a float valve that could withstand the heat and the soot and not leak. Be sure and show KZbin that one when it's finished... As far as safety with the vapor, a cheap feature to stop dangerous explosions of built up vapors would be a constant spark plug like on turbo propane heaters for new building construction and barns. If the flame goes out it is relit before a build up of vapors happens. Thanks for the comment.

[@moonshiner2977]

@@learn2farmagain30 Seeing as you would like to see a float valve that could withstand the heat, not sure what soot has to do with it ? here's one kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnTJl2iqaK5jq5o as for a thermal cut out valve, all modern day boilers and gas fires have them directly into the flame so not sure what you are stressed about ?

I like it..
