This is a brilliant design. Just rigged it up in my garage, and it works FLAWLESSLY once you get the oil drip and airflow just right. ZERO smoke or odor. Now I got free and efficient heat for the winter...Simply amazing. thank you for sharing, Kevin!
I wish every video that explains and shows an individual's experience on something that i watch on RUclips 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.
Clear out the stack does not mean clean out the stack other than not seeing the heavy unburned particulates . you still are producing a lot of hydrocarbons , especially with a oil based fuel, if you hook up a snooper at the top of the stack readings would be right off the scale ( solution ) you add a flue catalytic converter ( they are different than a car cat ) . when temp reaches about 600 deg you redirect flow to cat it ignites and burns off the hydrocarbons ( up to 2000 deg) just like a car. Granted you have the cost of the cat but then again your fuel source is cheap, I did that with mine . you also have benefit of extra residual heat from cat for shop heat. just a small step to clean up the unseen and good for everybody.
Great video, thanks for sharing, this is what I was looking for, something simple to burn my old oil up and heat my garage. And thanks for not adding any music.
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.
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...
When using in very cold weather don't walk away and go inside to let the room warm up. After using one in the 60's as the oil warms up in will feed faster and faster almost burned down shop when is ran away with it's self.
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. 👍👍👍
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.
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?
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.
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.
great video... im in massachusetts and planning on building one but all the videos i see are way over built... this is simple and works just what i need...
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.
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.
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.
wow ok. Much more durable than I would have expected! Firewood is plentiful here in the northeast but I will be moving out to Castle Valley Utah in the future where wood is a little more scares . I could see heating my cabin for virtually free now. 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
Looks great !! Would be nice to have a better look at how you routed the blower tube out of the back of the compartment it's in. Or a description. Thanks for posting this build.
Gonna build one for the workshop. Wood stoves are already set up for flame. I'm going to use a cast iron pot and some bbq lava rock in the bowl. Try to induce swirl.
A friend of mine had a plain wood burning stove(a barrel) that dripped used oil on a log and used it for years, without any problem...a very primitive design...
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.
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
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.
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
Kevin, I got mine going, but seem to have a little trouble getting it roaring like yours seems to. I used an old pellet stove as my unit, and used all the blower motors inside of it. An exhaust blower, combustion blower, and the blower to blow the heat into my shop. I will keep tinkering with it to see if I can get a better roaring flame like yours. Thanks for all the tips.
Curtis Henshaw sounds like an air intake issue but remember that a pellet stove is more efficient than a wood stove and may not require a rippin' flame to heat a good size space. Good luck.
I was going to suggest the very same thing, instead I will make this suggestion, get an old soup ladle and dip up some oil to pour into the burn chamber and never have to adjust the flow after you get it set .
nice and simple , most of these questions could be answered by paying attention to your commentary . super dee duper simple ! it also appears it could go to wood easily
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. I just thought to mention great idea though nothing like free heat no matter what design you go with!
I've tried cast iron but you can't easily cut a hole in it. The stainless steel bowl holds up to the heat and is has a round bottom. Better for air flow.
@@BYprospector how would a coil of stainless tube, like underground gas line like 1/2 or 3/4 coil right above the bowl, have a water pump with heat exchanger/ old school brass radiator hanging on the wall taped into the house , the novelty of it.lol
Oh Kevin.... that bowl- seems to me it might be a little tall? Directing the flame against the top mainly. But what if you cut the bowl off top or bottom (😂jk) cut the top lip down so the stove gets better heat dispersion. OH!!! OR! !!‐ from the top of the bowl- cut Down 1 1/2 inches, turn a 90 and cut across parallel with the top edge 2-3 INCHES. REPEAT! NOW... bend these out 30- 45°! Now you have introduced a swirling turbulence! ALWAYS helps with o2 molecules finding hungry fuel molecules! Nice build. What do you think? Anyone?
If your blowing more air in than you need your pushing heat up and out - get a quiet little blower - less than 50$ and a manual damper to control air flow and like some say draw your air from outside with any kind of light tubing - it would be much more efficent
Good 1st try, the wood stove part makes things easy but check out blue flame nozzles . Increase the efficiency and way less emissions than orange flame. Less fuel more heat.
@@MrSprintcat check out this video ruclips.net/video/u41tHg7ly_E/видео.html For a stove id prob build one like the first nozzle but leave out the top plate holes and so a 6 or 8 inch round heavy pipe chamber. . Basically just the inner 3rd of.that 1st hot water heater example he builds. Since you're in a stove and have prob 12 ft of chimney you should get enough draft to not need a blower on the inlet pipe. Prob need a damper on your chimney tho
Looks efficient and burns clean. Would it still be possible to burn wood? If not, how could that be done? Having two diverse fuel sources is an advantage. Thank you.
If you want to burn wood and oil make sure you go with the size of pipe the stove requires, remove the bowl and oil feed, plug the hole and you have a wood stove.
I have 2 old jungers propane stove, ones works great, the other is parts. I wonder if I take the rest of the propane parts out of the nonworking one if I could make that kind of conversion out of it. I know jungers made diesel burners but I haven't found one by me. BTW these stoves are cast iron from the 60s, jungers was a Wisconsin based company and is long gone, but their stoves live on and are bulletproof
Most of these setups run 1/2 gallon every 1.25 hours give or take. Proper tuning of flow rate depends on a few factors of the build and heat requirements of the space/operator.
How did you plumb the air in? Does the air come in the same tube that the oil drip is in? That's the only thing not clear. Great video! Thanks for sharing
You are funny :)….great presentation Kevin. Thanks. I'm guessing you don't have building code inspectors in Utah. ..LOL. Or maybe the inspector is a friend of yours. I have visions of fear when I think about trying to install something like that in my garage here in Portland Maine. But thanks Kevin. You are clever with the rig and the video was funny too. :)

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
Can you burn engine oil? I'm assuming that's what your talking about when you say waste oil. kitchen oil, moter oil whatever kind of oil right? Great idea I just always thought at least engine oil would be bad on the environment even if no smoke is coming out.
If burned properly waste oil is no worse on the environment than any other fossil fuel. The problem with vegetable oil it that it gels when cold so it must be heated before burning like diesel
@@BYprospector That's not true. Used engine oil contains substances such as lead and cadmium. Yeah you're saving a few cents now by using waste oil, but it's not worth the risk of medical complications later in life.
Where is the lead and cadmium coming from ??? They banned leaded gasoline decades ago . I've never heard of either item being used as an additive in motor oil , so you've piqued my curiosity here ?
Great job love the idea I have only one question can you tell me more information on the air forced into the unit can you show that part thanks for sharing
I use an air mattress pump. Mine is a coleman. Its best to use one that has been used otherwise they could fail pretty early. It needs to be burned in before it's used full time.
You were right! more air cleaned up the stove and pipe so much I can almost have dinner inside it! (producing over 900 degrees with same amount of oil too) I tried a mattress blower like you have but was hesitant due to noise, but mainly the fact that its not intended for hours and hours of use.....What has been the life span on your blower?
+shawn I Considering that they only cost about $20, one year would be worth it. Iv'e had mine going part time for three seasons. Glad you got the air issue fixed.
Cool idea. How long will a gallon of oil last? Is there different burn times for different fuels... motor oil, diesel, transmission fluid, etc...? What temps are you maintaining in your shop now?
f you drop an ounce every 3 minutes and there is 128 ounces per gallon, you want to err on half hour. Think of a 3 oz travel bottle being filled ( in less than 10 minutes (this would be a conservative burn). MPG may vary according to driving style, weather and terrain.
Set a car brake rotor on top of the bowl it helps build heat and vaporize the oil you can see my burner if you search barrel stove oil burner conversion
What blower did you use for this do you have links. I ask cause all the mattress blowers I've found. Have warnings not to run them more then 15 mins. Thanks man awesome set up.
Doesn’t really matter what brand. They’re probably all made by the same manufacturer. The trick is to keep them cool and break them in slowly only running them only 15 minutes or so for 4 or 5 cycles. The one I have now runs continuously for 3 to 4 hours
I’ve taken out my old back boiler stove, I’m wondering iff this set up would work on heating radiators from it, would be interesting to see iff it does.

@@BYprospector Just installed an identical conversion in my friend's wood stove. He's very pleased with it so far too!
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics but you need to buy oil too, or got lots of reserve waste oil
@@pieterdeboer5361 Not an issue if you run a auto repair shop haha. I use less than a gallon of oil even on a cold day, it's very efficient!

Hi Kevin well done your fire is one of the simplest conversions I've seen so far. Nice clear instructions. well done
thanks
Good job
Clear out the stack does not mean clean out the stack other than not seeing the heavy unburned particulates . you still are producing a lot of hydrocarbons , especially with a oil based fuel, if you hook up a snooper at the top of the stack readings would be right off the scale ( solution ) you add a flue catalytic converter ( they are different than a car cat ) . when temp reaches about 600 deg you redirect flow to cat it ignites and burns off the hydrocarbons ( up to 2000 deg) just like a car. Granted you have the cost of the cat but then again your fuel source is cheap, I did that with mine . you also have benefit of extra residual heat from cat for shop heat. just a small step to clean up the unseen and good for everybody.

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
If you use a ball valve in conjunction with the turn valve then you can toggle it on/off while keeping your flow the same :)
Good idea

If your blowing more air in than you need your pushing heat up and out - get a quiet little blower - less than 50$ and a manual damper to control air flow and like some say draw your air from outside with any kind of light tubing - it would be much more efficent
either atf or waste oil or a blend of the two. my feed makes a 90 degree and goes into bowl. extends to about 1/2" from bottom of bowl.
Too much air blows your BTU's right out the chimney. It's a balancing act for fuel/air ratio. I DO like the simplicity of your conversion. Thanks!
Good 1st try, the wood stove part makes things easy but check out blue flame nozzles . Increase the efficiency and way less emissions than orange flame. Less fuel more heat.

That would be correct for natural gas or propane
I have 2 old jungers propane stove, ones works great, the other is parts. I wonder if I take the rest of the propane parts out of the nonworking one if I could make that kind of conversion out of it. I know jungers made diesel burners but I haven't found one by me. BTW these stoves are cast iron from the 60s, jungers was a Wisconsin based company and is long gone, but their stoves live on and are bulletproof
I'd love to see what you come up with. Would make a great how to video
LOL, sounds like you need to buy the son-in-law a beer or three. Nice setup. I was wandering if used motor oil would work in this system.
Yeah. Pretty much any oil. Vegetable oil not so much because it gels in the cold and has to be heated before it will flow
Oil is recyclable and not a renewable resource. Wood is for wood stoves.
Nice set up you have there Larry The Cable Guy aka Kevin.
Would like to see how much oil is doing and average hourly consumption. Great video. Thank you
Most of these setups run 1/2 gallon every 1.25 hours give or take. Proper tuning of flow rate depends on a few factors of the build and heat requirements of the space/operator.
How did you plumb the air in? Does the air come in the same tube that the oil drip is in? That's the only thing not clear. Great video! Thanks for sharing
The copper tube goes inside the metal tube ,the air and oil meet at the end of the pipe visible in the video .
You are funny :)….great presentation Kevin. Thanks. I'm guessing you don't have building code inspectors in Utah. ..LOL. Or maybe the inspector is a friend of yours. I have visions of fear when I think about trying to install something like that in my garage here in Portland Maine.
But thanks Kevin. You are clever with the rig and the video was funny too. :)
+Robert King Thought I'd say hay to a fellow MANIAC I was born in South Portland... My Uncle Ralph Powers & Aunt Polly are deceased now, but their kids live back east somewhere.. Stay warm.... Bob
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
How many hours are on the mattress pump? Seems like that would burn out running constantly. Great video thanks for sharing
Several hundred. You have to keep it cool
Can you burn engine oil? I'm assuming that's what your talking about when you say waste oil. kitchen oil, moter oil whatever kind of oil right? Great idea I just always thought at least engine oil would be bad on the environment even if no smoke is coming out.
If burned properly waste oil is no worse on the environment than any other fossil fuel. The problem with vegetable oil it that it gels when cold so it must be heated before burning like diesel
@@BYprospector That's not true. Used engine oil contains substances such as lead and cadmium. Yeah you're saving a few cents now by using waste oil, but it's not worth the risk of medical complications later in life.
@@SiriusC1024 I stand corrected. :)
Where is the lead and cadmium coming from ??? They banned leaded gasoline decades ago . I've never heard of either item being used as an additive in motor oil , so you've piqued my curiosity here ?
Thank for the video and awesome idea. Nice and simple. 👍👍👍
Awesome dude! Thank you!
Great job
Looks good, an easy set up. Now how much oil will be use in a hr ? Or a day running.??
About 5 gallons in 8 hrs or so.
Great job love the idea I have only one question can you tell me more information on the air forced into the unit can you show that part thanks for sharing
I use an air mattress pump. Mine is a coleman. Its best to use one that has been used otherwise they could fail pretty early. It needs to be burned in before it's used full time.
@@BYprospector thanks for the information
Very nice design. Air you adding the air to the furnace through the T fitting? Thanks
Watch my how to video for building the T and thank you
Getting cold this season. I should have made one of these with my everlast welder before the season started.
You were right! more air cleaned up the stove and pipe so much I can almost have dinner inside it! (producing over 900 degrees with same amount of oil too) I tried a mattress blower like you have but was hesitant due to noise, but mainly the fact that its not intended for hours and hours of use.....What has been the life span on your blower?
+shawn I Considering that they only cost about $20, one year would be worth it. Iv'e had mine going part time for three seasons. Glad you got the air issue fixed.
very simple setup i like it
Pretty bad ass! I think I found my heater for my sauna and hot tub
I'm planning on doing this same thing to my wood burner, just wondering about how much is the oil consumption of this setup. Thanks for video
Wondering the same
Cool idea. How long will a gallon of oil last? Is there different burn times for different fuels... motor oil, diesel, transmission fluid, etc...? What temps are you maintaining in your shop now?
That was my question nobody is saying how much oil one of these rigs burns, ???
f you drop an ounce every 3 minutes and there is 128 ounces per gallon, you want to err on half hour. Think of a 3 oz travel bottle being filled ( in less than 10 minutes (this would be a conservative burn).
MPG may vary according to driving style, weather and terrain.
This is great! Do you have any idea the rate of oil you burn? Like gallons/hour or day. It'd be nice to know how much I'd need to stock pile.
About 5 gallons in an 8 hour period
Is that equivalent to a monitor heater? The simplicity is awesome.
I'm not sure
its awesome anyway.
Really good job, simple and effective
Set a car brake rotor on top of the bowl it helps build heat and vaporize the oil you can see my burner if you search barrel stove oil burner conversion
Good idea
What blower did you use for this do you have links. I ask cause all the mattress blowers I've found. Have warnings not to run them more then 15 mins. Thanks man awesome set up.
Doesn’t really matter what brand. They’re probably all made by the same manufacturer. The trick is to keep them cool and break them in slowly only running them only 15 minutes or so for 4 or 5 cycles. The one I have now runs continuously for 3 to 4 hours
Hi Kevin, that is ausome how is the smell burning waste oil and can you burn any oil products . Let me know thanks very much Dale
Occasionally, if I don't light it correctly but otherwise no smell at all
This is the best...Thanks
How about original longform for all things Super including your stove... Superlative.... Great job ... best to you and yours.
Thanks
Very cool ,that's what you improvising
I’ve taken out my old back boiler stove, I’m wondering iff this set up would work on heating radiators from it, would be interesting to see iff it does.
Good question. I’ll have to educate myself a little before I try it. I’ve never even seen one except from the pictures I just looked at
I burn old oil at home (small amounts of cooking oil only) at (not in, lol) my apartment. If you get good air flow your neighbors won't even notice
Can you show how you hook up the air pump please. I want to try this for my shop.
Thank you from
Maine
Watch my “How to” video. I think it will help
Does it smell like burnt oil in the garage?
Great job
Not at all
Great video..thanks
Nice setup. But the air pump might overheat.. not much air coming in, since it seem to be set in the enclosed box
