Very good explenation, I appreciate it very much, I'm building one right now, actualy I'm transforming a wood stove to a waste oil burner and I really appreciate that your projects don't use electricity !!!👏👏👏

Pretty cool design, my grandfather built a few of these in the early 80s. He used a pot belly stove with a cast iron skillet as a splatter pan, had the oil drip in probably half way up the side of the stove. He said that you wanted the oil to vaporize before it hit the pan. It would get very hot and he added a coil to heat water!

Getting a chance to see your operation while I was in Ireland last week would have been the highlight of my trip. I gave up looking and had another Guinness.

I just love how you keep everything so simple and practical. Thanks so much for continuing to explain in detail. Really enjoy all of your work.

Since it’s shaped like a barbecue grill can you cook with it and is it safe like boiling water for tea or coffee?

Great project Gerry. Thanks for sharing everything that you learned with us.

Very clever, I appreciate the simplicity, yet very ingenuitive at the same time. You've made it possible for a stonemason like me to build an incredibly cheap heat source. God bless, thanks for the great video. I'm off to get the necessary components tommorow.

BEST ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No electricity needed. LOVE the design of the whole thing!

Excellent information Gerry.....I love your iterative design work and the care you take to explain it all!

Love your guide's you've been putting up. To be honest I'm using your design to heat my greenhouse this winter.

Great job. You explain everything plainly. Very easy to get the concept. Thank you and excellent work.

This is awesome! I collect scrap metal for welding projects and have to change the oil in my truck about twice a month (about 7.5 gallons per month). Sounds like a win-win situation. By the way, I have the same radio in my shop...late 70's vintage.

Sorry just nice to see you doing great Gerry go for it great job can't wait to see more will help me and my own family out thanks

I've had a lot of trouble trying to regulate the oil flow on a small burner, I've just cut the notches in the gate valve, what a difference! Nice one.

We have a few tractors, plus all of our cars and trucks. We generate a lot of waste engine oil. I have wondered for a long time about buiding something to burn waste engine oil. THIs is brilliant. THanks for showing us.

Great job on your stove and video! I am going to have to give this a try!

Thanks for the great video Gerry

Nice and informative as always. Many thanks Gerry.

Great set up Gerry, well demo's and simply explained, well done and go to top of the class !!!.Regards from a Warwickshire country lad.

As a Canadian, your version of "cold" isn't that cold. Great system, I think I'm gonna build one for my shed.

Cheers for that Gerry. Awesome video as always. 👍👌

thanks Gerry, I think I can make one of these and move it out of the way in the spring, a great solution to my non insulated shop !

Very nice explanation! Thank you for sharing your excellent burner!

That is really good, I made a force air wood heater from a 30 gal hot water tank,, From - 20C to nice was 6 minutes

Thanks Gerry that was a good explanation. Cheers

excellent work amigo..

Great video I've got to try this for my shop save on the propane I've been using.

Very nice. Been studying this form of energy exchange on and off for a few years. Think you have broken it down to the point I might actually make it. Thank you... I was thinking that if you install a piezoelectric switch close to the oil drip you could light the stove easier by pouring the kerosene into the large pipe you use for the oil air input... something to try...

I enjoyed the video so I give you a tumbs up. Thanks man.

I like the way it is a heat stove and a cook stove too

Great work Gerry as per usual. ;-)

Brilliant!

Thanks Gerry!

i heat with wood in a 250 gallon oval oil tank im 70 now and no longer find joy in cutting firewood so i think i will build that stove ive watched oil burner and like his burners for melting metal but your stove looks good man THANKS

I like your idea very much... (the drum) ....off Georgian Bay I see lots of those.... ..Basically we mount a burner from an old oil furnace onto a wood stove....the rest is easy..... .Still..we make sure we shot it off before we pass out

Its summer where I am and Im melting but why am i watching how to make things a little hotter. lol Thanks Gerry. I service my own vehicles and tractors but is so hard to dispose of the old oil..

You can pressurize your oil reservoir and use regulator on input to sealed tank, mine is made from those old refillable large fire extinguishers. I set at 3 pounds. nice job on yours otherwise. Mine i think is still on old property from 1990, i bet it still works though i not been there in over 10 years. I not do that plate or air tube, it would have fine tuned mine. Thanks for upload, oh....i never reset my flow once set, on line out, but only adjusted air pressure to reserve pot with the air pressure regulator . just pinched off gas line style rubber hose at reservoir with vise grips but i like that you can see your flow though that peek hole. This my first i watch of yours and you won me over as fan with cost of buttons. God bless.

Brilliant...off the grid..

i used a burner kinda like that but i used a blower and it was more of a vertical set up and just used a 6 inch pipe for the burner . anyway i used kerosen just like you until once i ran out so i used the cutting tourch to fire it up and was suprised how well it got it going with out any extra ' thanks

Good job

Fantastic; thank you!

With mine, I have mounted my oil bucket up high and aside from the stove. I use a Culligan type water bottle (for a water cooler) so that I can see how much oil is in it. Beside the stove I have a 45 gallon drum, that's easy to pour used oil into from my buddies garage and a rotary barrel pump that is hard plumbed up to the bucket....I pour oil into the barrel and as needed crank on the barrel pump to fill the water bottle up... Less mess and a lot easier when you are trying to pour 5 gallon pails...I can get my 30 by 30 garage from Zero C to 20 C in about 45 minutes. Insulated walls and only sheeted ceiling...

Very nice...

This gave me an awesome idea

I love it, genius.

I like this!

Great job! I suggest to try put three or four 2 1/2 intch pipes from the left to the right side of the barrel, underneath the cooking plate , as air heat exchangers . And from the one side of the barrel turn them down near to the floor and down from the other side of the stove... like a "Z" .For no electric fan need. keep up the nice job!

For the heat exchanger idea, are you suggesting through pipes pointed down on one side and up on opposing side to create a drafting effect?

Very cool.

if you preheat your combustion air then you could run with a blue flame. move the combustion air to the back with a jacket pulling air accrost the combustion chamber walls. This surves 2 purposes 1 increases heat recovery 2 helps to keep the glow down. glowing =oxidation occurring fast enough to be visable. good idea on the propane upcycle. stick a bar into the holes and twist it to make the air come out in a swirl. A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, but a Vortex is the most efficient path between two points. . dreem big chisle down to reality

Great burner design, no electrics. Now, I would punch those air feed slots so they create a vortex, several smaller ones directing the air in a circular fashion. I think the extra work would pay back in efficiency

Hi Richard. I have some ideas for a newer burner which I will be building soon. Yes mixing is king and if I could get thing spinning without a fan that would be great. The great thing about this setup is I can try different rigs very quickly to see what works best. Thanks for the comment much appreciated. Cheer Gerry

THUMBS UP, ILL USE YOUR IDEAS WHEN I FABRICATE MY NEW ONE. THANKS!

You need closed cell blow insulation on those walls and ceiling. That would go a long way in slowing heat loss. A fine and simple presentation and I like your style.

Just gone through your playlist and am very excited about your experiments. Fab success with such basic materials. What do you think the effect would be on making the burner taller; both the walls and the center tower, with holes moved up off the bottom to clean up the burn by allowing another fraction of a second for the oil to gasify completely? Of course, I suppose it could crack, burn the shorter carbon chains first and leave the tar, but at 1200F I suspect not What do you think?

love it.

What do you think about using a cake pan as the burner, like a funnel cake pan for making a angle food cake? The pan that has the center hole. Does it greatly improve the life of the burner by using stainless steel over regular steel such as a cookie tin? Great video's!!!

I'd much prefer to have one of these in my house.

Another question. I would like to see the exit of your chimney. I don't seem to get the strong updraft that you do.

Garry you may want to explain why you put the 1/2 inch copper feed tube inside the 1 inch black pipe conduit. So the 1/2 inch copper won't melt. The conduit sucks air in, and the air flow down the conduit keeps the 1/2 inch copper feed tube cool.

Jerry which set up is your favorite so far. I'm looking to heat a 36x45 shop that's poorly insulated at the moment. I'm thinking your vortex one is my favorite... what's your thoughts

I was wondering do you think welding a tub for hot water to send heat somewhere else is possible? I'm in Canada I was thinking about heating my laneway so I don't have to shovel. But I might use glycol. 2.5 inch galvanized steel pipe and 2 old hot water tanks.

You should use IV tubing (medical IV) for the oil supply. It’s clear and you can regulate the flow very easily. Look for a 10ml per minute set.

Hello from Australia ,your amazing.Question for you .Is the cooking top fully sealed .as if I pour on the cook top or anything, will it go into the burn area

Nice! Maybe source out some used large oil filters instead of the small propane tanks. Might work as a double walled burner. Wont last as long but free.

Do you close the " lid " during normal operation ? Thanks , :-) Wyr God bless

Inspirational! Thank you. What size chimney do you need? Would a 2.5" stainless camping stove chimney work, or is it too hot and needs a larger pipe?

Thanks Gerry as always, do you filter any of your oils?

I would push forward the heating system towards radiating heating instead of convectional heating (that means you heat up the air). When you heat up the air, it will goes up immediately and you basically heating the ceiling. For efficient radiating heating you need more surface. I'd use much more flue pipe for that. I'd also remove the fan for this reason.

Hi which is a cleaner burn with a fan blowing or the natural aspirated from the bottom? Thank you.

Please explain the heat exchanger you have on the exhaust.

I’m wondering if you could automate this a little more by adding a piezo igniter in the pan, and introduce the charge of kero through the 1/2” pipes jacket? Will a piezo even set off kerosene?

13mm one inch on center, love that

Great video. I'm thinking stainless steel for the burner and that propane bottle with the holes in it would make it last a whole lot longer. I think that top barrel with the steel and pipe welded in it has to be air tight so no smoke come out through the welds? right?

@GerrysDiy

Hi Jim. I have a 6 inch diameter and 13 feet long flue connected to this stove and it makes a lot of draft in the burner wihich is what makes that roar you can hear at the start. The whole things needs to be quite air tight so that all the gases go out through the flue. If I open the door there is enough draw on the unit so that it will not smoke into the shed. For an unconventional stove it works great. I have a newer burner that I am making in the next couple of days. Cheers Gerry

Thanks for explaining this 👍. I am planning on building one myself soon. Have you considered putting sand in the too drum? It would radiate heat for a while after the oil burner stops running.

nice,,,what is for the pipe in front of cooking area....on top of stove....

Hi mate I was thinking that if maybe you use a metal oil drum that holds the oil and put it closer to your chimney so it heats it up while it’s in the drum it might burn more efficiently as the oil is already heated up. I could be wrong but if it works it might cut down on the amount of oil u use.

Excellent video very useful you can run your exhaust up to the ceiling sneaking around so you heat up everything in your shop

how large should a pipe be bringing burn air from the outside with a 6 inch flue?

how was the exhaust gases dispensed from the shop ?

Braszil.

Nice oil burner how often do you do chimney cleaning

Hi there, I’m thinking of making a tiny oil burner from the roller drum off an old lawn mower that I have laying around. I also have some exhaust pipe (approx 3.5”) my question is, will the exhaust pipe be sufficient or do I need bigger bore pipe for the chimney? The drum/roller is about 2’ x 10”. Thanks

If I can’t make the oil burner I may still use the roller to make a mini wood burner but the same question remains, is exhaust pipe wide enough as a chimney pipe?

Where did you get them fancy britches?

Hullo from New Zealand. I have been trying to work out your flue extraction from the 44 gallon drum. Have you got a T-piece running out horizontally behind the drum? Are there two inner walls next to the hotplate that create a cavity on each side. Great stuff happening over there.

What is the purpose of the notch in the gate valve?

Do you have any issues with gas fumes from projects you work on? I was told for my garage to build/have any flame 3ft. off the ground because if you spill gas the fumes could ignite. I work on cars a lot there is more gas on the floor than I would like to see but it happens. We are in the high desert in the US. the high temps now are in the 30's to 40's F. One thing good is it will be easy to light it at 3ft. off the ground. Thanks Again.

In Ontario Canada, burning appliance must be 4' off the ground in a garage situation. You would never get fire insurance with any home-made device like that. Many Auto Repair garages tried those a couple decades ago but Insurance and Pollution pricks ended that.

What about smoke does it burn smoke free once you've reached high temperature?
