Waste Oil Heater - Super quick install - New design - Space Heater

[@normanroy7349]

Hello from Canada, Norman here, Wow thats one hell of a burner... The tin can I was referring to had 4 half inch holes at every 90 deg. Completely at the bottom of the can and my pipe in a pipe was a couple of inches over the can, so when the oil drips down it is instantly vaporised and does not ever make it to the can, the air that blowes in the middle of the can keeps it cool so it doesnt melt. Anyways I really love your videos, keep them coming. I wish I had more time to tinker with my stove, I will eventually post a video.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Norman. I knew that the setup didn't even loosely resemble what you described but as the burner was already kinda setup I gave the dog some food and stole the can. This burner exhausts out of the sides so I put it to within 2 inches of the bottom of the can. The poor old can disintegrated later with the heat. I tried another burner this time blowing above the can and blowing directly into the can and while it did throw the flame out through the holes I drilled my fan wasn't producing enough air to test it properly. It then went on to blow the capacitor so I will need to pick one up before more mayhem ensues. The oil i was using was synthetic which is harder to burn but the burner doesn't care once it get going. I have Veggie oil for the next round of tests. . Thanks for the suggestion, it was cool giving the can a try. Cheers Gerry

[@ArcheryFanatic2000]

Gerry, thanks a lot for posting your experiments. I love how you explain well, take good videos, and show off simple (not complex) designs that the average person could reproduce with excellent results.

[@josephvanaken170]

I just built one Gerry.I mad mine out of a gas hot water tank. I cut a square out of the top side and cut the flue off and cut around the flue in the bottom of the tank. I used a air mattress pump for my blower works great. Thanks for the idea 👍

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi joseph.Well done on your build. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry

[@kipgillis1722]

That is awesome and very innovative. Wish I could make one for my small show . All I use now is an electric Eden pure.

[@MrMaxdog8591]

I give it the "McGiver gum wrapper seal of approval award" Very Very Prestigious!!

[@GerrysDiy]

Hello everyone. Free heat, Clean efficient burn and a very cheap stove project for the Diy minded. Here"s another video of a fan assisted waste oil burner. The burner has been bent in a hydraulic bender to aid airflow and the air exhaust changed in design to blow horizontal instead of vertical. As recommended by Norman a channel subscriber I tried exhausting the burner into a Tin can which was drilled strategically with surprising success. At the start of the video I show how easy and fast it is to install the burner into the prepared stove .Cheers Gerry

[@bighillranch8385]

+Gerry's Waste Oil Burner It looks like your vaporizing pot is aluminium,. Is that correct?

[@debbienelson4742]

Gerry's Waste Oil Burner

[@WallStreet749]

You should make a custom crusiable for the burner. Try plaster paris and heat resistant cement. Here is a mixture I found to work well. 3parts plaster paris / 1 part Cement / 2 parts Vermiculite / 2 parts water. Whish you would of shown what you was using for the air motor. Great video!

[@UZI9MMAUTO]

One great suggestion. You should add heat sinks on the sides. This will take the excess heat that normally goes up the chute outside. It will make and keep more heat indoors. You can put you heat sinks either horizontal or vertical. I would go with the first as each plate will keep heat rising to the next plate above it and so on. For a blower motor use a 12 volt one from a car. You can use a 'dimmer' switch to control how fast you want the air intake to be. I would power the blower motor on deep cycle battery. All you need is either is a solar panel or deep cycle charger to charge the battery.

[@centerfiresuppressionllc682]

Getting ready to build horizontal burner out of a 55 gal drum. How would you heat sink that? The steel is very thin and it could benefit from that.

[@yeahwright9673]

I LOVE THIS GUY!!! GREAT JOB BROTHAH!

[@kellyschlumberger1030]

O - yeah - you can sew the screen together with stainless steel wire so not need weld. Excellent video.

[@martinfoster6847]

love this video i would like a demo of how you fitted the glass bowls cheers

[@nekbiodieselworks]

this is a very impressive build. I only wish I had a need for one so I could build it just like yours!

[@kenny.aviation7645]

I feel like building this and adapting it to heat my pool...... it seems like a great idea

[@kenny.aviation7645]

I think I might add one radiator on the bottom chamber and 3 on the top chamber..

[@vitalsigncompany]

fantastic design. wll done. im going to build one for my barn and use a water jacket around the stove to pump water to my heater core in the shop.that way it can be away from the building. great design. keep building:)

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Richard. It works really well for something so simple. I did a video a while ago where I added my Ozzirt version waste oil burner to a boiler with a water jacket. I connected this boiler to a 300 litre 80 us gallon water tank. Things went a little wrong but it makes a lot of heat and can easily heat water. Here's a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKfTkqWjjrWVoKM Cheers Gerry

[@glumpy10]

Great work and Vid as usual Gerry. A couple of ways you could reduce the noise of the burner: Easiest to integrate into the current setup would be to either slow the blower down with something like a light dimmer if it suits the type of motor you have, or a rheostat. Other way would be to use a gate or ball valve on the air inlet pipe to regulate the air into the burn chamber. It seems that currently the burner is putting out way more heat than you need. In this case, you can reduce the air as well as the oil. Reducing the air will lower the noise and you only need enough to burn the amount of oil being consumed. ATM I would say you have a significant air excess and that will actually give your stove lower temps. The other way would be to go to something like a 2" air feed so the air volume is the same but the speed is reduced. This will quieten the flame noise. I am also wondering if a bigger pot would quiet the flame? As for the tin can burning up, Maybe a bit of stainless steel pipe would be the answer? I tried one of these down blow set-ups before and couldn't make it work but I think the trick may be to have the holes on the sides of the pipe not just coming out the end. You make yours look so easy I'll have to have another Crack at it.

[@__WJK__]

Happy new year form the Midwest, USA! Great video and brilliant idea regarding the vertical tool storage box!

[@missdeedux]

Laba ideja,doma,izdomājums.Lai gan tas viss sen jau ir izdomāts.Man prieks-kādam tas ļoti var noderēt.

[@intheshedwithjohnnyg8894]

great job also love the garage door opener

[@dannytega8842]

Great work, also good thinking about the disclaimer too, there are lots that will think doing something without any risk assessment and in some cases it results with casualty

[@GerrysDiy]

Thanks Danny. Cheers Gerry 👍

[@kellyschlumberger1030]

May i suggest rolling some stainless steel screen roled up to relace tin can. There are many varieties in alloy, wire size, mesh per inch and percent open. It makes a good back-flash arrestor too. Certain metals may also add a catalytic effect: cobalt, molybdenum; plus ceramic paste like ceria, zirconia, etc... could be painted on to enhance. Some similar to lantern-mantles. This could get rid of CO, nitric oxide, etc... Thanks for cool video. Very interesting, fun.

[@r.b.l.5841]

Nice job Gerry - thanks for sharing your developments really appreciate learning from your experiments.I think I would worry about the fuel supply line being too close to the stove especially if plastic fuel line is used by some viewers.perhaps a "dimmer" switch to control the fan speed?I really love the glass pot in the doors! that is real genius !!

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Robery Thanks. I made a burner that runs as well as this one but does not need a fan. That burner is very easy to make and I show how to here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZm3fZSPgM-trtk Cheers Gerry

[@r.b.l.5841]

I barrowed a few of your ideas and made a smaller burner to just maintain my shop temp without being too hot and buring too much waste oil.using your internal air system I put a 1-1/4" pipe perforated with 3/8" holes into a 4 inch thread on cap. Then cut a short (6" long) section of 4inch pipe and topped it with a 4x3 reducer. Welded some flat bar legs to the reducer and set it up so the cap is about 4" above the floor. Then ran some 3" stove pipe up and out the building. cooks away nicely with the internal air (your idea) and I only run this at about 0.3 litres per hour. holds the shop temperature well without too much heat and runs precious little oil. Thanks for your posting Gerry they lead to my own version and I have to say I would not have thought of the air pipe in the middle until I saw yours.

[@silentdeath9237]

Make your burn pot out of something 1/2 inch thick that should be the best fire pot so it doesn't burn through remember forced air into a fire is like a blast furnace they can melt steel.

[@onelonesomeboatman3436]

This setup is better Gerry the only thing i found easy was i used a 1" tee at the oil intake to save on welding then just used a reducer but once again mate 10/10 atb Col.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Col. Its definitely more controllable and after 4 hours of burning the other night my glassware was still spotless. It was burning synthetic oil too and it didn't care. Great stuff this burner and such a simple little thing. I will be ordering a syphon nozzle tomorrow so that's where this little journey will be heading soon. I already have a few standard riello and bentone domestic oil burners here to act as component spares for the next project. Cheers Gerry

[@shinergriff]

Hi Gerry, I do enjoy your WO Burner videos. I am planing to build one for my shed for our coming winter here in Australia but I will be using waste veg oil as I have plenty of it. One thought for you had you considered on the burner tube where the air comes out the holes tilting the holes to one side by putting a bolt or rod in the hole and twisting it around the axis of the burner tube, so the air will come out at a angle rather than straight out side of the pipe, so as to spin the air in the combustion chamber. Just a thought as most burners seem to use some sort of rotation in the air stream. Cheers Wayne

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Wayne. I have thought of it alright. I was going to add 3 small pieces of 1/2 inch tube welded in at about 30 degrees off vertical from the 1 inch air tube. This would give it some rotational ability. As soon as I can find some tube I will give it a shot. I was going to clean out the stove this morning after many hours of burning and experimenting and it didn't need cleaning. This is a very good way to get heat. At this stage I am only tweaking the design but this burns really clean and is easy to make. I have plans for other ways of doing this so that means more videos I'm afraid. My website will be live soon also. Thanks for the suggestion Wayne. Cheers Gerry

[@jerryking1434]

How did your burner work out...???

[@007slyman]

great job. be great to see what glass you use and how you fit the windows into the doors.

[@philhenham7704]

try an old piston rather than tin can. Wow ty for your time and effort. Great system. Maybe geat a swimming pool or hot water supply. Great effort. Cheers, Phil nz.

[@bradzee9947]

Greetings, beautiful job on the heater!! What did you use for the site windows on the doors?? Also, what are you using for the air supply?? CFM?? (C/MM) Would a glass site(S) on your oil feed work better?? I found a cool little site glass with a needle valve already on it on eBay for a reasonable amount. (made by Lube Devices Inc.) Thanks for all the great videos!. ,spike....

[@patrickmurphy3]

Just found your videos and they are very informative, really gets the brain thinking. Have you considered running a copper, or black pipe, coil in the upper chamber filled with water that would connect to a circulator pump then to either a hot water tank, or baseboard radiator? Based on my time in Ireland (I'm guessing.. Galway) there really aren't hot water tanks like there are in the US. let me know what you think.

[@johnsellers2999]

Very cool heater. I was thinking maybe move the valve closer to the oil and away from the side of heat chamber in case it gets so hot to melt the packing around valve handle. Maybe I'm wrong,just thinking it gets so hot so close? But very nice

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi John. This stove can certainly get hot. A drip feed is the easiest way of getting the oil into the stove but a dosing pump would be better and can be located remotely. Here's a list of other burners I have made since this one. kzbin.info/aero/PLmQ5wJnkAIoJYDBgSOis9s1yDhcFdswtN Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍

[@maxmott7489]

Hi David. Its true just a pipe in a pipe. Really does work as shown. Cheers Gerry

[@THEPAINOFITALL]

SORRY GERRY, JUST BROUGHT A FARM & CAME ACROSS YOU...LOVE IT! 1 QUESTION WHAT ARE YOU USING AS A FAN [BLOWER] & HOW MUST PRESSURE? THANKS IN ADVANCED ;)

[@paulkersey7564]

many thanks Gerry for your reply. much appreciated

[@FathallahGhanem]

its a great Idea, but what I am wondering the air supply, if possibe please show us

[@dustinberg7897]

It's a shop vac

[@darkorkodi3582]

Wow Gerry, amazingly simple and so effective, do you think this system could be worked into a charcoal retort thereby cutting out the need for wood to fuel the process.

[@yourfast07]

Great project but there is a lot of wasted space in that burner, you can make a coil of 3" pipe, going in and out of the burner and installing a small blower on on end, and you will get a lot of extra heat. If you have high temp blower from gas furnace, you can mount the intake in top of the stove so it can also suck the hot air and place the blower on the end.

[@MrKnaberaps]

lifting the fuel tank higher would give you more pressure on the valve and then you could adjust the fuel input better :P

[@charminglad124]

Hi Gerry, just a quick question, have you tried adding the oil under a light pressure? being sprayed in through a jet nozzle to give a faster ignition burn...

[@takeguess]

hey Gerry great videos! just wondering what you are using for the sight glass is that a pyrex dish?

[@tonyrandazzoe8210]

Can you do a build on it ? Otherwise you have only shown us how good it is but I don;t know if it has the air feed thru the same pipe arangement or ? How about if it was half the size ? Could it be used inside a home ? The optics part is an old glass cooking pot or ? I love the winch thing !

[@emachineemachine751]

vraiment très bon travaille

[@georgefahrenholz1870]

Can I ask what the door windows are made of? Pyrex cooking pans?

[@GerrysDiy]

Yes just a couple of old pyrex dishes. Surprisingly they work very well so long as they have enough expansion room. Red hot metal expands more than glass so just a mattter of factoring this in. Hope this helps Cheers Gerry

[@MichaelPhillips-j7n]

What did you use for the sight window.?

[@tobyvincent6162]

Have you tried making one half the size

[@silverharing]

Just wondering what your little glass windows are made out of?Yes glass but don't they get hot? looks like they would break.K.C. in Oklahoma.

[@gbrochon]

those look like pyrex bowls great idea

[@Howardhandupme]

question, would shorting oil tube up inside air pipe give advantage of atomizeing oil better to proved better burn?

[@pappy1812]

Loving your videos.

[@brianlonslow1071]

Hi Gerry. do you have a list of components needed for new burner as I'm making one with the nut and holes but can find your video. Thanks. brian

[@donnwann2]

I see metal pipe in which the 1/2 inch pipe is situated is bent and not fabricated as previous, how where you able to achieve this ie. getting the tube up the inside of the bend. great video

[@wayneatkins6053]

Tubing is probably slid inside then outer pipe is ran through a pipebender

[@johnbarry8185]

It sounds like Norman has a powered oil pump. Is that correct? If you want to use a pump, you can install an oil orifice, and save quite a bit on how much oil you burn. If you do however, you will need a plate for the flame to hit on.

[@richgurley610]

I have a 40x50 metal building . Would the heat off the cylinder be enough or would you do a heat exchanger and fan set up ?

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Rich. My shed is 20 x 30 and I can easily heat this shed with this propane tank. If you run the exhaust into an oil drum or other heat exchanger you could recover more of the heat from the flue gasses and run the stove cooler. Have a look at my latest project. It is an oil drum burning solid fuel at the👍 moment but will be running on waste oil soon. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry

[@mag9115]

hey gerry can you tell me details about the blower size and power.. and should the tin can be open from the bottom???

[@rob2323]

What you using to generate the air?

[@xsbiggy6349]

are those pyrex/high temp glass cookwares you're using for optics?

[@1968MikeBig]

what type of glass did you use?

[@atzerath]

errr...i've seen the dripfeed version on this one and liked it very much? Why did you change the setup and is it better? You actually need the fan running... i'm planning on building one (try too) to heat a greenhouse...there's electricity in it but i liked the idea of not having to use it and just go with drip feed to make sure that it's self sufficient but now you're making me doubt if that's the right way to go... And the noise is quite loud as well isn't it?

[@har99ley]

Gerry how does this setup burn synthetic oil ? Any problems, and as long as you use caution is it safe?

[@emc4u2]

very nice build. What kind of glas do you use for the viewing glas? looks like an old washing machine glas... handling the heat ?

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi emc3u2. Its just regular pyrex cookware from my kitchen. I haven't managed to melt any yet but the propane tank can expand alot so its necessary to leave room for expansion. From the colour of the flame you would know if it was burning cleanly. The truth is that the flame looks cool but you dont need the glass at all for this to work. Cheers Gerry

[@hamidhussain7748]

Nice job. What is about the transprant in gate?

[@mrbigtbonevissoc]

I wonder if it would be a good safety measure to have a solenoid actuated, normally closed valve attached to the oil line so that if the power goes out and you loose your air, your oil flow will also be cut off when the power is lost to the solenoid actuated valve? Just a thought.

[@ronnichols9510]

+Tony Vissoc That was my thought as well , do you have a mode and Part number .and Im still trying to get a good blower to work that will last. Have used air mattress motor , works great but last about 7 days of 8 hrs a day burn . I am in process of running 2 inducer motors together cause 1 just isnt enough to do it well ..

[@kenbutler6053]

Try using a PC cooling fan.Dont know how long it will last but worth a try

[@SMOBY44]

Electrically operated solenoids are almost always dependent on a minimum pressure differential to close. Usually a minimum of 20 psi differential.

[@jamessolak1619]

somby 44, you would be speaking of a pilot operated sol/vlv, direct acting sol/vlv would operate fine in a gravity application...........

[@soulhunter0]

this new set up doesn't work without the air being forcibly being blow, right? as in just leaving that elbow opened to atmospheric pressure with out fanning it in?

[@gabbermaikel]

what size of chimney do you use on yours? I have a 5 inch on mine now because that is all i had atm. But i dont use a blower yet but it seems like its not getting enough draw trough that 5 inch 1. So just asking around what other people use.

[@willyam9735]

Instead of a tin can underneath check 2nd hand stores for small stainless container of similar size to your tin can. The stainless holds up much better under heat.

[@tomobrien2591]

hi from galway these vids are brillant.just a quick question .what stops the flame or fire going back up the oil pipe causing a fire to your bucket of oil

[@gerryoil9211]

Hi Tom. Galway is safe from my little experiments Lol. If you were to get a packet of firelighters and light it and then throw it into the bucket of oil it will just go out. The oil needs to be heated and producing some vapor before it will light so the flame wont travel. These burners can make a serious amount of heat with no smoke. I will be working on a burner mod today so there will be more vids today or tomorrow. Thanks for the comment. Slainte Gerry

[@MThomasin]

Would it be possible to use the basic principals here of burning waste oil to heat a Forge? How hot can this get?

[@dustinberg7897]

If you put gaskets on those doors and kill the blower once it starts drafting, that'll make it burn cleaner and more efficiently.

[@davidhimeback9087]

What kind of blower are you using??

[@jamesfarmer6648]

How much air pressure do you use psi. Thank you.

[@bobvedder2451]

What do you use for the glass?

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Bob. The glass is just a simpl Pyrex cookware dish. I have had these stoves glowing red and the Pyrex takes the heat and flame so long as you make enough room for expansion. Hope this helps Cheers Gerry 👍

[@pvccannon1966]

ive heard that most people using this type of set up let the oil sit up for a while in a container so any metal or water or anitfreeze separates form the oil. Then they can take off the "clean" oil for burning.

[@alexespinoza7944]

hi gerry greetings from chile your videos are great I really liked your oil boiler fabricarme want one for my house but my question is how many liters or gallons of oil per hour you spend greetings

[@wolfiesmith7674]

Impressive, have made a few log burners over the years,,,, always evolving on the designs and tweaking as I learn but this has taken it to the next level. Will be attempting this oil version next summer when I get some free 'man time' but im near to completing my latest project (full on baffle plated ,secondary air injection manifold and intake regulators ) Im interested to know how your pirex dish door has evolved ? Do you still get the occasional breakages due to heat/expansion/contraction or have you Sussed a good way of fixing the dish..... I'm considering trying a spring loaded cLip to combat the movement but if you have found an easier way I'm interested in your idea Also,,,,,, how have you sealed the dish,,, fire rope? I have some spare car ' exhaust cement' and 'gasket silicone' that I am about to try on my first pirex door,,,,, has worked fine sealing my flue but not tried near the hottest part of my burners, will update when it works/fails.

[@MRLAWBREAKER1]

Hi how did you keep the Pyrex dishes in place fab burner and cool idea better than a log burner I think.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Kevin. This stove has 2 doors so I can use it a a log burner and a waste oil burner. The glass has been a problem and I have broken a few but now I have some fibreglass rope and some bolts that hold it in place. The rope offers some expansion room and also seals the air from getting in or out of the combustion chamber. You get a close up of one of the ways I did it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWrNinRtjtaNaqsm53s Cheers Gerry

[@anthonynelson5525]

How many CFM blower are you running with that?

[@jimbobber2125]

If your burner plate is hot just use a small piece of old rag with a little oil on it and use your propane torch to lite it and once burning you can turn the oil on a little bit..

[@marksmith-ew7ir]

To protect your fuel line and gate value could you fit a shield for longer burning

[@johnbarnette3916]

what kind of fan are you using and how did you hook it up

[@rogercrier]

Could you use a Pyrex glass dish instead of the tins? If it does not melt it should last longer than a dog food tin. Or you could use an old furnace crucible

[@521farmer]

how do ya move the heat around

[@etankohcz1842]

Do, you forsee; attaining a clean, blue flame in your combustion chamber , , , without the implementation of complex air/fuel metering devices??? . . . I still fail to perceive the function of the added 'tin' in your combustion chamber, items.. Thank you for sharing your creative suggestions.

[@ManueRoque]

That´s good. Which is the consumption of oil per month? I live in Patagonia. We need this incredible stove

[@concreteart101]

Great 👍👍

[@kayvinbeehill8833]

A larger air supply tube with a diffuser can make the burn almost silent. Getting the flame swirl in the burner and as well as the combustion chamber is key to quite. Also adding air, even in small amount in other areas of the combustion chamber can help with mixing all to keep the velocities down. I stumbled on a near perfect combo in the shop heater I put together. It is a low hum at it's hottest running temp burning around 1 gal per hour, no smoke, and as it gets to temp I actually have to cut back on the air a bit. I hope to be able to get the same effect in the next build. Which is going to be from scratch with waste as it's intended fuel. Currently it's based on an upside down coal stove which has been modded several times. The best build so far is a pump for fuel. I do not have to filter, preheat, and regardless of temp the flow is based on volume. The different viscosity's or the change in room temp do not effect flow. I can even pump and burn the crusty paste from fry oil. It's like mud, but burns just fine!

[@jasonsosbe4229]

What kind of combustion air blower are you using?

[@GerrysDiy]

On this stove I was just using the exhaust off a vacuum cleaner but to give you an idea as to volume and pressure even a hairdryer on cold provided enough air and pressure. My later stoves dont require a fan at all. Here's a prototype kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6XaXpiLYqtjiNU Cheers Gerry 👍

[@paulkersey7564]

Hello Gerry,How long do you expect the ex gas bottle to last , given the amount of heat it kicks out.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Paul. The truth is I thought it would last just a couple of months or a heating season but when I fired it up this winter for its second season in action it was in perfect condition so I have to upgrade my original assessment to years. Its not necessary in a fairly well insulated shed to drive it as hard as I do in some of the videos. It certainly kicks out savage heat if you dial it up. Cheer Gerry

[@robertdahl6019]

what time are you on? Did not even think about that.

[@DecoD71]

hi gerry, what rate of oil does it burn? Im in Dublin and looking for something to use a lot of oil

[@MrWillis5719]

That a great project

[@westgl2006]

That would be much more efficient for heating if you run the exhaust stack into a couple of 55gal drums, one drum welded above the other with a 8" hole in the top of the lower drum and the bottom of the top drum, then run your exhaust from the boiler, into the lower drum first, then the heat will rise into the lower drum and up through to the top drum, Heating both drums for more radiant heat, you could use much less oil for the same heat, then your exhaust stack to outside should vent or connect to the top barrel. adding two more 55gal. drum will capture a lot of heat for radiant heating. that way you get a lot more convection heat from the barrels instead of loosing it. I would also slow the oil down some, use a brass fitting for your oil regulator, you can make that setup a lot more efficient.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Gary. Its true I could recover more heat from the flue gasses and there are more efficient ways of burning the waste oil but as is this little setup really whacks out the heat reliably for very little cost. I will be making a different atomising setup soon. Cheers Gerry

[@78salar]

Hello there , its a nice setup but What is the approximate oil quantity it burns per hour ?

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi. It is adjustable from 2 to 4 litres per hour. At 4 litres the stove will be bright orange and over driving but making massive amounts of heat. It is more relaxed at about 2.5 lph. Cheers Gerry

[@Fersiope]

HI !!! I wanted to ask you based on your experience, what is the oil odor level in the room where the oil burner ignites? Would it be possible to heat a family home with this method? Did you do any chimney pollution test or test using a carbon monoxide measuring device? I am currently wanting to investigate to propose using this method in a community of people where we still do not have network gas and this option besides free is very practical, thanks from Patagonia Argentina

[@centerfiresuppressionllc682]

I've only ever had fumes during the initial lighting. Once going there is enough flow from the exhaust that any leaks from the doors, etc will suck air into the system. If you use a fan as an air intake blower, just make sure its flow doesn't exceed the exhaust flow. If you don't get fumes, you're good. I had never had the guts to actually move mine in the house. What I have seen is a guy the cookie is waste oil burner in a containment system, And then blew the hot air from the containment system into the house. A little safer. I have another friend that moved his waistoil burner inside the house and has never had a problem with it

[@jbss7382]

A great system if you don’t mind me saying, BUT; the noise!! Its very loud, surely you could never have this in a summer house??

[@warrenmichael918]

i wouldnt need heat in a SUMMER house , unless youre in Antarctica during summer ?

[@robertdahl6019]

Hey Jerry, I am still watching. Is that a vacum cleaner your using for air ? Thanks for video, love to watch them. Robert

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Robert. I had some standard oil burners here so I just used the fan in one of them to provide the air. I do have a couple of vacuum cleaners that will blow but they would melt the stove if I gave it enough fuel. Also they are about 1500w so a little heavy on the electricity for extended use. I was looking at bouncy castle fans on the net and some of them seem promising. The motor needs to be induction and continuously rated I think. Cheers Gerry

That is a very nice heater. What are you using for a fan? Thanks! :)

Hi. ForkinCrazy I am just using an old oil burner with the electrics removed so that it is now just a blower. Anything will do really and in one of the videos I use a hairdryer just to show that this thing wants to work and needs very little help to get going. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6e0goqdYsyGra8 Cheers Gerry

Would it be a good idea to put a electric valve on the oil so that it would turn of the oil if the power went out

[@telosfd]

How many liters per hour consuming?

[@earthstewardude]

air supply? what are you using for your air supply?

[@RonGordon]

What is your fuel usage gals per hr with a steady even burn

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Ron. In normal use it will burn 1 gallon per hour and that is running it at mid range so if you need more heat it can be turned up. There is a lot of heat in waste oil so its quite economical considering the massive heat output. Cheers Gerry
