Great design. I’ve been working on mine for a few years and it is ok, but still improving constantly. The harmonic “woh woh woh” was solved in mine by bringing more air into the burn chamber. I welded a 3”x3” tube into the bottom and put a flap door on it to increase air flow control. By doing that I found I was getting smoke back in. I extended my flu and it caused enough draft to stop the smoke. Also a stainless dog bowl will last “forever”. Great build. Subbing so I can follow your progress. Thanks for sharing.

nice build . i've had oil tubes to stop up and overflow at the drip monitoring area . you might want to move yours to where it wouldn't drip onto hot stove if it overflows . never turn your back on a drip system .

Great initiative, Sam! I'll offer an idea for your consideration: If you'll take air from outside your building to support the combustion, then the heated air inside will stay inside. If you use inside air to support combustion, then you create a vacuum inside your building and it pulls in cold air from outside through all of the tiny holes and cracks, and some of the heated air gets blown outside. I made a waste oil heater out of a 100 lb propane tank (I think that's what it's called, but the tank doesn't weigh that much when it's empty). It works great, but I haven't found the illusive "magic" or "sweet-spot" for the proper air/fuel ratio. Because I can't see the air, it's difficult to gauge how much is going in there. So, I've decided to put a window on the heater so I can see the flame, at the same time as I make a couple of other mods to improve the "system." BTW, my best retired Marine buddy lives in Jacksonville, AL.

I agree but the building is far from sealed currently. Zero insulation and open around the soffits.

You probably were having air coming in if exhaust it's just sideways opened on the outside.
