Kevin, this is by far the best method of waste oil heating I've seen yet. Thank you, i think when i get my cabin done this will be my heat source. Thank you very much. 👍👍👍

Hey Kevin... I'm impressed with the simplicity of your design. I may incorporate this in a wood fired boiler I am presently repairing for my shop. I'm now going to find your build video... Thanks man. Cool setup.

Looking for a good use of old motor oil. Great design. Building this for my cabinet shop. Free heat. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

Reminds me so much of my grandma and grandpa's gravity fed coal oil stove (heater), they had in their living room on their farm back in the 50's and 60's and later on. (K1) old brown warm morning. I remember grandpa turning a little knob or something to let the coal oil flow, then he would light it. Back then there wasn't anything such as a "box fan", just the old metal blade fans that he set behind it. It actually oscillated and I remember the cord was like a green cloth wrap on it. Then in the kitchen, they had a coal fired Warm Morning.

I wish every video that explains and shows an individual's experience on something that i watch on KZread were as helpful and relatable as this one. He gives an explanation of what HE did and i can add or subtract what info i want and showed it very well. Thx sir.

Coleman built these stoves for use with Diesel or home heating oil way back in the 70's I have one they throw great and require no electrics at all. How the blower is set up would be nice though.

Very nice build. I've been watching a lot of heater videos and the few I've found using old woodstoves as a starting point makes the most sense. Old stoves are somewhat obsolete, plentiful and probably cheaper than the cost of electricity, mig wire, cutting wheels and argon. When I build mine, it too will have a glass door as a quick glance once in a while will tell if all is well with the burn. I'm gonna guess that the only power tool you used was a 3/8 drill. FYI, Easy-off works great on white wall tires too. Remember those?

Awesome work. I live in Wisconsin. I have a pellet stove in my basement. It keeps my hardwood floors warm during the coldest months. Since the pellet stove already has a fan in it, it'd be perfect for a conversion. I'd simply go back to doing my own oil changes...

Unfortunately I don't have a old wood stove kicking around. I do want to weld one up with my powertig welder. Your video gave me some ideas on how I should design it. Thank you.

Very nice clean emitting oil burner like the idea, now looking for a stove

Kevin, this is an awesome, simple, and effective design. One improvement I might suggest is, similar to a rocket stove mass heater, you should include some sort of thermal mass (such as cob) either around the stove or around the exhaust prior to it leading vertically upwards out of the wall. This will act like a battery and will transfer more net heat to the room, even after the furnace is shut off.

Great video, has given me some ideas, thank you very much for making it. have a good one.

Really good job, simple and effective

I like this idea for a shop heater. I heat my house with wood 🪵. My house is 30x60 with a four foot hallway down the center. And what I do to move the air is to put a box fan at the end of the hallway in front of the bedroom blowing the cooler air on the floor towards the wood stove that’s in the living room. It works great if you hold a candle 🕯️ up high the flame 🔥 will be leaning over in the direction of the hot air flow. And held low it goes in the direction of the cold air. I just leave the fan on low.

Very nice work,simple love it and working on mine with old wood burner ,thank you for sharing ,big hugs from Mn

going to build one of these for my shop this winter I live in the oil fields of Texas so we have tons of waste oil everywhere

Awesome job my man you are a legend thank you for the good explanation

Thank for the video and awesome idea. Nice and simple. 👍👍👍

Thanks, Kevin!

Used ATF is great fuel for you old diesel. It's usually very clean already when it comes from a transmission shop. Driving it for years now and I even have a video on my channel where I do a coldstart on 100% transmission fluid and no pre glow at -2°C/28°F . Rough but still worked and smoke free after a few seconds

Getting cold this season. I should have made one of these with my everlast welder before the season started.

Pretty bad ass! I think I found my heater for my sauna and hot tub

Nice job, heavy gage single wall wood stove pipe works great, transfers heat into your space and is cheaper. You only need double wall going through the wall and if it's sleeved with a thimble your fine. Check with a local wood stove store and they can set you up or ask a HVAC guy as to local codes. Brake drums or old cast iron skillets work too. If you burn used motor oil or a mix check your door gasket etc, you want it air tight so you don't breathe anything and don't burn on days when the airs not moving or is heavy, don't want it to settle in low areas. Been doing it around here since there's been used oil to burn, just think and use a little common sense.

Could you please tell what make/model the wood stove is? I really like it.... Thank you

Good tech info on the why stuff

after seeing how easy it is im definitely going to ad a oil burner once I build a wood stove. im going to make a double barrel stove

Cool video and great job. I'm interested if you have ever exceeded the fuel ratio, or played with a variable speed fan. I used to work with brick kilns in a brick plant. Just curious if you ever tried to dial it in to get the most efficiency out of the amount of fuel your putting in. After you have complete combustion the excess air in not a bad thing but could be lessening the heat output per amount of fuel. Sorry for the nerdy question, and once again cool video.

@KevinRushing63

As a matter of fact I did add a rheostat to the blower. It gives much better control with less oil. You are correct too much air doesn’t hurt but doesn’t help because you’re pushing your heat up the pipe. Thanks for the input

Nice video & well explained. My question is,where can purchase one of those fire proof cell phone?mines is just water proof....

very enjoyable

I have lived with a wood stove for over 40 years. suggest that you listen to the comments below that suggest a single wall pipe. Indeed, some pipes are made sith large dents that increase heat exchange. I also suggest locating the stove or exit hole so that you have maximum horizontal run of the pipe. You will get far more heat from a long, single wall pipe. You mention the roar of the stove. What makes the roar? It is air rushing into the stove, through the stove, and up the pipe. Where does the air come from? Why, it is the nice warm air of your shop, creating a slight vacuum that sucks cold air in through every crack, hole and gap. You are heating air, only to rush it out of the building via your double wall, insulated pipe. In short, you are attempting to heat the interior of a wind tunnel. Controlling the draft will alleviate some of that. But piping in a source of outside combustion air will allow you to keep the heated air inside where it belongs, while outside air fuels combustion, then exits through the pipe with no vacuum at the walls. You can make it roar as loud as your heart desires, with no heat loss.

never hurts to improve check out mother earth's waste oil heater or burner they show a their burner pot but if you look deeper into they refined it to basically a small pot with 3/8 bolts they set 4 across the bottom then set four the opposite and I think four more the same course as the first which makes a little grid. this gets red and the oil vaporizes when it hits the grid.

My governor back in 1980 converted a 2nd world war tortoise stove intoa waste oil and water drip fed stove and used a 4 inch peice of steel tube as the flue which went out through the roof we had to shut it down after 20 mins as the top of the flue was white hot and the flame was blasting out the top of the flue by about 6 feet and sounded like a doodlebug it nearly burned the workshop down ....awesome power though

Been watching these so did some scrap hunting and built my own small flame use motor oil burner. Works well so head over and take a look at it if you feel need
