How does the oil travel down and then back up the tube to get in to the burn chamber? Is it just that the oil is so hot it moves up the tube before it comes out?

Nice one Gerry!

You are a king. Watching your videos was very informative and they move at a good pace, not too fast and not too slow, but with just the right detail needed. I had a concern about the amount of heat generated being too much for the heat shields in the stove in the house. The reason for my interest is in creating a metal smelter to cast bronze screws for boats and gun parts. My wife says it has to be outside :( Then again, she is a better shot than I am at close range. So I have been working on my zig zag running.

I’m making one of these for my shop, thanks for sharing your build. Great video. Thanks .Dan.

Fantastic job Gerry.

I have a friend who does his own bio - diesel for his truck. He goes around to the local fast food places and buys their used fryer oil, strains it and whatever. He also uses it in a waste oil burner like the one you have, and it always smells so good. in fact it makes you hungry LOL.

Gerry in the states we call that piece that allows you to connect two pieces of pipe while seeing whatever you have passing through, it's called an air gap

Gerry, you listened to your Viewers very well, hahahahahaha ;). You did a GREAT JOB explaining to the NEW People who are looking for a DIY Waste Oil Burner. I also needed to comment on the Burner Chamber. On your Burner Chamber - This is the BEST DESIGNED that I have seen on KZread and GLAD you have come up with through your Experiments with Trials and Errors. I did one just like it, but it's an Air Fed rather than Natural Draft, but works GREAT, and THANKS to you !!! Overall, I wanted to THANK YOU for your time and efforts, I did LEARN a lot from you and if anyone is watching, PLEASE COPY his BURNING CHAMBER.... Don't waste your time trying to reinvent the Wheel, cause Gerry already did it for you if you watch most of His Video. THANK YOU VERY MUCH JERRY !!!

Hi Jod. It sounds like your flue is not long enough. When airtight and long enough all the smoke from the stove even with the door open gets drawn into the stove kind of like a vacuum cleaner. If you look at the video above the smoke from the firelighter gets drawn back into the stove. If the flue is about 4 yards long and 5 or 6 inches in diameter you should be good to go. Hope this helps. Cheers Gerry

Cool Tepco. If you can make a video when you have it working that would be great. These unpowered stoves and burners work well if you have sufficient flue length to generate the draw / suction. This version of the updraft burner I have been using in the min ion and in my house stove can be improved but is working great for me as is. I have some ideas for the mk2 model. The beauty is they are cheap to make and run. Cheers Gerry

Thank you, I live in a van so I think it would be easier if I just had a gate valve and look inside the fire to see how much is coming into it as I move around the country,i don't want anything that can spill or make a mess.

Your opinion for the DIY’er please: For someone with an inside rocket mass heater do you think that having an oil burner outside that would blow forced hot air (not bad fumes) through the wall of a cabin and into the mass heater duct-work would be a good idea?

Hello, i got the same plan for building a waste oil stove. As i did not want to use a blower i'm verry happy you shared your project with us !! One thing i would maybe say to you is that i'm gonna use outside air because a stove like this needs alot of air and i don't want so suck that in my house i rather use it directly from outside in the stove for a maximum heat in the house !!

So now i got to this new free source and that is coal. Here in Belgium people changed to gas and many houses still have a whole lot in the ched or basement so when these property's get sold or renovated people just give them away for free in the summer you just have to go pick them up.

Hi Turbo Conqering mega Eagle. It's a very easy to make little burner but it does need good draw from your chimney / flue to make it all work. My own flue in the shed is 4m and in the house like in this video its about 8 metres and provides that roar you can hear in all the videos I use this burner in. Cheers Gerry

Very nice and simple your invention. You are a genius Bro. For the garage or the workshop is the best. But for the living room it is disturbing to hear continuity this noise. Can you make your magic to hear little less noise?

Did you ever think of using a dosing pump to deliver the oil

needle valve is better than a gate valve.

Great work gerry. I recently bought an oil stove for my mancave. It works well as it has wicks and runs all the time so has a constant heat. The downside is its costly to run about 30 litres a week and iam heating a room that isn't used all the time. So I wonder could I convert it to a pot burner and use the Toby valve on the stove to meter the kerosene as I don't intend to run waste oil. It would mean that I have heat on demand and not heating the place when not in use. Any thoughts? It's a hunter stove similar to the Stanley oisin. Keep up the good work and good to see a fellow Irish man on KZread for a change.

Hi Juh Daille. The stove in this video allows me to control the air input so that if I close off the intake the flame will stop. I can imagine that some people might take chances with their design efforts. The burner I show in the video is very easy to make and runs very well but waste oil can be contaminated with all sorts of things that can cause the flame to run away uncontrollably. I will do another video this week where I will add just water to the fuel and show what happens. You would be surprised. If you were distracted and the oil overflowed from the burn chamber that could be enough to take out a whole house or worse. If someone adds kerosene to a hot burner etc. There are lots of ways to make a cheap heater to go wrong. I have already disconnected the burner from the stove in the video. There are other ways to do this and I will be doing more on that soon. Hope this helps. Be Safe Gerry

@GerrysDiy

Hi Juh. The glass is safe if it is stove glass and it does allow you to see what is happening in the stove which is safer in my opinion. All of my designs to date have glass in them for viewing. If your flue is of sufficient diameter and length there will be no fumes in the living space. you can see in the video that the flame and smoke stay in the stove and go up the flue. If any stove burning coal , wood, gas or oil smokes into the room then there is not sufficient draw on the chimney and that needs to be sorted before burning takes place. It is possible to burn waste oil but my advice is to learn more with a shed stove or just outside and then decide. Cheers Gerry
