🔴 Hi All. Here's how to make a really cheap and simple drip feed for burning waste oil. ruclips.net/video/Bf38HSxtSBw/видео.html Cheers Gerry 👍👍
just get two differrent size coffee cans ive seen big cans in store like for bean be great for a oil burner stove
There is nothing better than seeing people use simple parts to make practical devices that work well. Great video. It's good to know your out there
The enormous value of the ability to produce heat isn't fully appreciated until it's freezing cold.
Hi John. I hope you're keeping well. It's nice to be able to keep warm for very little money. Ireland does not get as cold as Canada but it's very damp in winter so it really bites. I have some plans for this new burner so more videos soon. Cheers Gerry
GerrysDiy I have a mountain sized pile of firewood for the house, but also have a small shop without woodstove; and diesel truck that leaves me with nearly 4 gallons of dirty oil after each oil change. It'd be thrifty to use the waste oil to heat the shop. Cheers!
Kind of like the ability to repair one
When the power goes out in a winter storm there's no better feeling than putting some wood in the stove.
@@GerrysDiy Lots of Canadians around these types of videos... hehe
Not many fire insurance companies would cover you with a home made heating appliance. Looks cool if you are willing to take a chance.
Hi Chris. True about the insurance. They would love it when you say I made that. On the other hand the shed is steel and concrete and I only light it when I am there. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍
A friend of my new built one of these about 10 years ago, works great. 👍👍He knows a few owners of auto repair shops and gets their oil waste, pretty ingenious if you ask me.
I can't wait to use my everlast welder to make a heater. There is nothing more satisfying than to make something for yourself that is so useful .. and warm!
Hi Carlos Good luck with the build, it is really nice being able to work in the shed in winter because of something so simple to make. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry👍
Brilliant! No moving parts, no blow dryers or motors for forcing air- it's a new world.
Hi Swampbutt. Works great and very cheap to build and try. Flue length and diameter are very important. 5 or 6 inch flue and 14 feet or more in length. Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry 👍
That complete unit seems to be well thought out...(the stove too) Nice!!!
Thank you for sharing !
Good man yourself Gerry ! I have always admired the Irish ingenuity .( we lived in Co.Cork as blowin's for a glorious decade) Your design is a vast improvement on the old oxy acetylene heated steel plate inside a stove with a drip feed of oil. Have a grand day master Gerry
Built to oil stoves from your videos first one worked was so happy to make it work made new oil stove with your burner works great like your work great job gerry
Hi Jeff. Well done on making it all work. For me once I have it set up I can stay clean but I keep making these things and messing around with welders and oil so I go through a fair few gloves just trying to keep clean lol. Delighted it's worked out for you. Doing a boiler stove next so lots of hot water I hope. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Gerry
Great video. I love the way you go back and forth with your American/English measurements. TY
American/rest of the world(SI) Remember the English started the American measurements!
Hey Brother, Thanks for the video. I have so much waste oil and keep telling myself this year Iam going to quit freezing. This will be the answer
Love the new burner design
Hi Creepycrawler. That was the first burn of this burner so it will be interesting to see how it performs over the next few days. I want to make some hot water with it so more soon. Thanks For the comment Cheers Gerry
I can only understand about half of what you are saying. Although I can see, and understand what you are doing. Thank you for your knowledge.
I like the sound of free heat. I need to make one of these with my everlast welder before it gets much colder.
Hi Jerry. So after making one if your first style burners with it below the chamber I have now added this style burner inside my bottle. Wow the heat output is fantastic and uses much less oil. Keep up the good work, love the channel
an old buddy of mine ran a mechanics shop out of an old service station. he was heating it with a double barrel wood stove, and he used to go through around 8 ricks of wood each winter. he would often throw some old oil in to get the fire going in the morning. one day he got the idea to make a drip feed for starting the fires and it worked so well he used it all the time to help heat his shop and for the first time in years his shop was actually warm. he hung a 30 gallon barrel on the wall with a screen on the top to filter out the crud and a 1/4 inch copper line running from the side of the barrel 4 inches from the bottom to the top of the bottom barrel of his stove and it had a valve to regulate and turn off the flow of oil. he would build a wood fire and turn the drip on. one time he ran out of wood and figured out if he could get a fire started he didnt need wood at all. he piled a bunch of exhaust pipes in his stove and took his torch and heats one of the pipes on top cherry red and turned on the oil and it burned turning all the pipes cherry red and heating his shop with no wood at all. no fancy burner needed.
I went through the same transition with my barrel burner a few years ago too & I haven't cut fire wood in a long time now. I have a waste oil tank outside & a veggie oil tank inside the shop. I'm in the Rocky Mountains & it can get below -30c here.
That's awesome
Fancy burner? Real fancy : )
Thats pretty cool, are there any associated dangers? Benzene etc? Do you need a really good chimney or stack/funnel? Sounds too good to be true, I must be missing something.
Thanks Gerry, can't wait to build one for our new shop down here in southern Chile 🇨🇱
It can get quite chilly down here! I know, pretty stupid joke.
It is a waste oil rocket stove, amazing. Great work.
Great video. A 5 dollar waste oil burner. All you need is a £100 welding torch, plus gas, a £25K garage, an engineering degree, a few bits of metal, and you're done.
Propane tank, scrap metal, Harbor Freight/Ebay welder. 150$ total. But when we build something like a house, shed or anything really - we/contractors don't incorporate the tool cost into the price right? So, were back down to the 5$ stated.
Looks a good solid design, substantial thickness in metal to prevent warping or even melting, looks simple to build too, thanks for the link.
Thick steel = thermal mass
Waste oil burners are the way to go with a shop. I have used them for the past 20 years on the farm, every tractor or piece of equipment with oil, transmission fluid or gear oil can be used.
Great tip! Kevin. 👍
You'll be needing it this year more than ever, Gerry!
I've got a 16ft x20ft garage with one car bay in it. I bet even a smaller version of this would run me out of the shop! Great design
Gerry, I have watched most of your videos. I have seen many of them more then once. I enjoy your activities and have learned a lot from them. Im building my first burner today. Your designs and videos have been a great guide.
thanks my friend. I must have a go. looks fantastic.
Nice! Thank you for sharing
Thank you! : )
I have spent a lot of money on waste oil burners, including paying a mechanic (wasn't all he did) that managed it primarily for machine shop heat in alaska. I would say this burner is practical and makes sense. Nice job thanks for sharing.
Hi Nordic 709 These things are really easy to make and cost very little. There are always improvements that can be made but I have been using this little stove unpowered to heat the shed with no issues. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry👍
Es excelente su trabajo y gracias por mostrar su taller,INSPIRA PARA TRABAJAR Y ARMAR ALGO SIMILAR. Lo saludo desde Argentina
Great job Gerry!
That was brilliant your a genius!!!!😜🇺🇸👏
Alternative heat is something everyone should know how to generate. Awesome instruction!
Any idiot should be able to burn any kind of hazardous waste in a bin.
@@C879hqda if it's combustible it's heat, not set up properly end of idiot.
That's crazy the way that works so fast, Incredible thumbs up
I so want to build one of these in my garage,
That is absolutely brilliant! You should draw it all up and print off some simple stapled DIY construction booklets for those of us who like working from plans.
I need to build something like this for when my workshop has it's ceiling (a concrete suspended 1st floor in a barn will make 2 90m² areas workshop below and living space above) I can't really heat the place as it is, too much volume and any heat would go straight out through the Roman canal tile roof anyway, but once it's done this thing would be excellent. Maybe next you could do one which could run a back boiler for central heating? I want to run pipes in the concrete upper floor, and link it to the central heating circuit in the house part of this place...
I love the idea of burning waste oil....there's plenty about!
Great work
That's smart I have a couple 50 gallon drums of used oil at my disposal huh!!
Hi Ben. Once you have sufficient flue length they are easy to make and make a ton of heat with no smoke. Cheers Gerry👍
@@GerrysDiy #2 oil has 144,000 btus per hour / gallon
Excellent Idea! But i regulate by air with no dropper. Heat output is really fantastic! From Russia with Respect!
Gwan the Irish, helping humanity any way we can 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 Up Galway.
Cathain a bhfuil tu Gallimh. Great county and thanks for the comment Paul Cheers Gerry 👍
@@GerrysDiy It's great to see an Irish lad on here imparting knowledge. Thanks Gerry and keep her lit. Nollaig Shona duit.
I like your design. Clearly, you have given a lot of thought and experimentation to your idea. And, it works quite well. Excellent.
I suggest just one thought, though. You are using heated air for combustion air. If you could devise a way to use outside air for combustion air, you would gain quite a bit. No point in sending expensive BTUs right up the flue if you can help it. I know you are in a leaky shop and you are burning cheap waste oil- But, if you can get some extra from it without too much more expense, it would that much better, No?
Great vid! Watching this as it's 10°F / -12.2°C outside here in Massachusetts USA. Nice job on that stove!
I built one myself a few years back out of a warm air coal furnace. Drilled through the side for 2-1/2 inch / 63.5mm pipe (auto exhaust), ran 3/8" / 9.5mm copper tubing through the center, and through an old, gutted Beckett oil burner unit - used that for just the supercharging effect of the fan. From there, I used rubber fuel line to a valve to regulate oil flow. Sealed the other end into a 6 gallon / 22.7 Liter plastic bucket for the oil tank. Inside the stove, I used 3 brake rotors - one large one off my Chevy Silverado (welded the lug and hub holes closed), and 2 small ones off the rear of a Toyota Camry - i cut the faces off, and welded them both together, making what looks like an iron spool (just to create a large heat sink) with a hollow center. I set that on top of the Chevy brake rotor.
Once she heats up, I plug in the Beckett burner / supercharger, and this thing will melt your face! :D Burned all the paint off the front of the stove, lol. Glass on the door was over 950°F / 510° C. Heats my uninsulated 38' x 26' / 11.58m x 7.92m barn with 8' / 2.43m ceiling, and a 5' / 1.52m loft above to 70°F / 21°C. Burns everything from gear lubricant, to power steering fluid, to motor oil and even brake fluid & antifreeze. Zero smoke, unless I really push it hard. Not too shabby. :)
I got the idea for this one from quite a few of your videos, so THANK YOU!
You've come a long way from lighting cookie tins on fire on you back patio! Great video! I'll be building one of these for sure
Love the videos, it's helping me with my design
Another great video Gerry
Thanks Gary
great Video again Gerry.. not checked in for a while... but again in awe ... love the grid damper plus the heat you keep getting wow.. will be building mine soon...greetings from Finland...again
Excellent
Essentially... a great design...:)
WOW Looks like it works great.
For all the tourons complaining about not being able to hear: If you click on that little white square that says 'CC' in it, that activates closed captioning, lol! I just did it -- it does work but you must USE it by CLICKING on it folks. Great video Gerry and I understood you just fine!
The cc could barely decipher half his words.
Absolutely brilliant also I think this heater could be scaled to any size
Great fun build. Thanks!!
I agree with Tom Morrissey
. My carrier said that it had to be U L listed, & follow construction rules. I took pics. & sent it to them. I also heat my home with wood.
I am a general contractor, so I knew the rules for both places. I had both inspected by a qualified inspector. I do pay a premium on my house & shop heaters. My insurance agent who wrote my policy helped tremendously. My house is now 38 years old. My shop is 36 years old.
If you build with the ICBO book, which is becoming more & more standard, you'll find the rules. When you work with those people it is simple.
Wow Gerry, you can call that a success, what a burner man !
Hi Peter. It's nice when they work out. There's a few that didn't along the way but this one is very good and easy to make. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
It did look easy enough to make, but I'm not going to make one like that as it's much to big for what I would like to use it for. A tiny little one that could be adapted to be used in a van would be a better choice for me.
Hi Peter. Lots of people at this stage have asked for a smaller version so I might have a go at one very soon. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
That's great Gerry, I'm looking forward to see what that's going to be. But make sure that you're in good shape yourself again first, as there's nothing more important than health. Cheers Peter.
This will help me, thank you
I collected about 1200 gallons of waste kerosene a while back and can't burn it in a standard kerosene burner, it loads up the wick too fast. This will give me a way to get some heat from that kero. Thanks very much for sharing.
Look forward to seeing this in a cast iron stove.
"At three litres an hour the whole thing is going to go nuclear and glow red. I've got to turn it down." :)
Good job thanks!
Hi William. You are the first to post I'll have to get you a beer lol Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Gerry, I've been using your initial power burner design for going on 3yrs now and aways get a build up in the bottom of my burn pot of carbon but from watching this build I realized it's probably because my burn pot is too thick and doesn't get hot enough, I'm using the base to a welding tank that a local supplier scrapped at my local junk yard. I think I will make a thinner one this weekend and see if it makes a difference. I'd lost a picture but I can't on here. Thanks for all the great videos
Hi Ryan. I connected this burner without the stove outside to a big fan and the output was fierce. That video will be live today so you might get some ideas from that. If the pots and plates are too thick with the updraft designs it's very hard to get the pot to temperature for the burn. For the powered versions you can put somthing in range of the flame that will glow and that will help. You can message me on face book or send a link here. Cheers Gerry
отличная идея.
GOOD JOB GERRY, LIKE IT.
Looks very good, fair play.
Beauty Design And on a budget Too Well to DO!
Maybe it's different where you are Gerry. But where I live when it's 23 degrees, and I speak...YOU CAN SEE MY BREATH!
Yes, but hes already built it for this video meaning hes tested it. His shop was already heated it was cooling g off as he filmed the video
Brilliant
Thanks Steve
Thanks for the video! Great explanation! 😁
Thanks George 👍
That's bloody fantastic. Something so small putting out so much heat. Incredible, Great idea Gerry and cheers for another great vid.
Hi Patrick. This works very well and there really is not much to making one. I checked you channel for your burner did you manage to get it going. It didn't take you long to tear down that tv. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Hi Gerry, I'm going to redo the burner pot as for some reason rounded bowls don't work so well as i tried you tin can burner the one you did outside on your porch and it worked great. I tried it and it too went well. i found a lot of pots and pans from a scrap run so i will use a stainless pot and give it another crack. You make it look so easy but i bet there are a few off camera moments you have where there is cursing going on. Cheers.
and y i never seen u before.this is best design ever...i did fiew burners they where smoking chimney and not so economical
great video, now I have to go clean up my shop since yours is making me look bad!
My friend it is cool.
EXELENT WORK MR
Thanks
Gerry im re-designing my current setup to feed more oil so i can build this burner im maxing out my feed valves 1/4in at full tilt and it could still be hotter 😆i really dig the simplicity of your builds and the high output for such little investment
Hi Jake. Last night was the first time I got to see this setup in action and I expected that I would have to make some mods to make it run but it was full on nuclear for the amount of fuel I was giving it. It's easier to clean after use than my other one too. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
+Jake Browne - Go with 1" Feed Tubes with screw ends. I've experimented both 1/4 +3/8, won't do it and both clogged easily during heating :((((. Over time it needed extra cleaning or another way have another feed Tube and pour your Kerosene in as Starter Starter Fluid + Cleaning Fluid. Also, do it with TWO (2) pipes... Screw in one, while you clean the other and time is not wasted during cleaning. But over all, 1 inch Copper Pipe Feed Tube would be the ideal from my experience.
Jordan Bronson thats the plan huge feed tube to a 1/2" valve never use it all but make it easier to balance air fuel ratio over the small line when warn small lines are fine but cold they barely flow so when set cold it will over fuel once warm larger feed would have less restriction cold so easier to regulate
+Jake Browne - The flow are fine... I find Crude / Carbon deposit at the tip... Since my Pipes are right above the Flames :(((. Do you have Blow Air or Natural Draft like in the Video here?
Jordan Bronson my system is fan forces like a forge search barrel stove oil burner conversion look for my name i have 2 videos first is 30 seconds showing the burner inside second is and explanation of my feed system and air intake im trying to simplify it to make it more off grid capable, gravity drip updraft with the option to fan force and increase fuel intake for those extra cold days is my ideal setup
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Gerry, from Kildare. Very good idea and job, I’ve been looking at doing something like those for a bit, it lit well and you say it burns clean so those were my major concerns addressed. There was a very useful comment below in relation to if you get a flame out and the oil flow continues, maybe location the thing in a bund that’s holds more than 5 ltrs (that’s going to be a very shallow tray effectively) and then keep the feedstock in a 5 ltr container.
great video! To bad waste oil heaters were outlawed in Canada a little over 15 years ago.
You got a new subscriber, This oil stove has me so excited. I'm going to binge watch your videos.
Hi Travis. That's what happened me lol. I'm even doing live chats now lol Great to have you onboard Cheers Gerry
Tried just as you explained, what a waste of time and money
Me Too LOL.
Good thing he took off his down coat and hat demonstrating this heating device at the end of the video.
Hi DXR. This thing makes a ton of heat and has no problem heating the shed. Gets hot very quick too which is great for working in the shed 👍👍
@@GerrysDiy Yes I see that. good job. I subscribed to your vid. What is the square footage of the shed?
Nice one think I will make one of these for my workshop
Me too! Thanks Gerry. By the way what is the approximate diameter of the pot? I watched this $5 video numerous times and got all the other dimensions I needed but the diameter of the pot itself. Thanks, Ross
lol.... Most important part of the clip.... 7:19 "Right, I've got the Kettle on...." love it... '' }
Absolute Amazing Idea THANKS FOR GREAT VIDEO 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Looking good ,
Thanks Yvon
Very easy design to build. The flue/chimney is the thing I need to put together. Really satisfying when you close the door and the draft takes over. Thanks for sharing and the price really doesn't matter since people will have or find bits and pieces that will work.
Hi Lloyd. It really is a very simple design which makes it easy to replicate and easy to clean. If you have a good scrap yard nearby the cost of making a shed heater like this one is minimal and the running costs are either cheap or free. I could have this burning logs if I wanted too. All I need to do is remove the separator plate in the middle and put in a grate. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
Simple replacement to the other one with holes, makes sense , force the air to come in through smaller slits, would give a Venturi effect, and speed up the air coming in. So how high above the inner “ pot “ is the outer “ pot “ maybe an inch or 2?
Great work again Jerry,
Hi Madd Macc. There is a 2 inch height difference between the inner tube and the outer pot. It works really well and is easier to clean. I didn't make the air intake adjuster yet but it's making some serious heat and again no smoke. For the craic I connected this burner to a bouncy castle fan and lit it in my yard and this thing rocks. I made a video so it will be live today. The older unit with the holes was a great burner but this is better. Cheers Gerry
GerrysDiy , Good morning Gerry, ( 7 am heres ) sounds great looking forward to seeing it, I have almost finished my wood stove mod, with a version of your tin can pot style burner, its getting fairly cold here in Canada, so better get moving on it to hat my garage, hopefully this weekend, keep up the good work mate.
great well done !
Awesome! What a ton ( sorry, tonne ) of fun your experiments are! That's my project for next autumn.
One small thing: using a squirt bottle for the kerosene, there is an infinitesimally small chance of backing the flame into the closed container. Best to add kerosene before the firestarter. (Yes, all the Chen/phys. properties are well known to me)
Super channel!
Very nice. GREAT fuel for used cooking oil... ok emergency fuel for used auto oil... Maybe auto oil bit too dirty for constant use.....
Great video! Thank You!
Thanks Fred for taking the itime to comment Cheers Gerry👍
great effort.
great!!!
Thanks Hector
Great as usual, FYI I just finished building this burner, and decided to strip my original input feed, 1inch black pipe with 1/2 inch copper pipe inside, On the dismantle I found the internal copper pipe " Roached " I could crush it with 2 fingers, This time I will look to put steel 1/2 inch inside the 1 inch steel pipe, If I can scrounge some .
Hi Madd Macc Well done on getting it all working. it's great to have free heat anytime you want. Using steel tubing would be more robust in the long term. If you get a chance to post a video let me know. Cheers Gerry👍
great video thanks
wow ..i change 8 big truck oils per week.paid to get rid of oil..now i warm n money in me pocket
Just going in for some tea and when I come back out.. oh no! Fire!
Right on man looks great!
Thanks 👍
You may be able to light your stove easier, if you use a tissue or paper type kindling. The tissue or cloth or wick would help vaporize the oil faster
very good, greetings from uruguay
Gerry, Another great job!
I really like the simplified burners that do not require electric combustion air fans or compressed air over nozzles. There are brake drums, tanks, steel, pipe and valves in my scrap and storage bins so I think I can put something together relatively easily and perhaps for free. On this newest design, instead of rectangular windows for the combustion air, do you think a row or two of holes might create more turbulence?
I am toying with an idea of making vanes (like a fan blade assembly) underneath, where the air enters, to induce a swirling effect as it goes up the burner's center air inlet pipe. Then holes instead of rectangles in the "hat" piece. The holes would be bent to make them a scoop shape (using a steel rod in the hole, then bend, depressing one side of the hole and raising the other side). Summing it up: the air entering the unit would have a slight swirl induced, then, as it continued into the burner assembly it would enter the combustion area through the "scooped" holes, hopefully continuing the swirl effect. If you want to experiment with this idea, please feel free to do so. I will post results when I have a prototype, but it will be after the holidays.
Keep up the great work!!! Very much enjoying your progress and experimentation.
Hi SkunkWerX I am not sure which would be better. I will be making a few of these so I might try holes in one and multiple smaller slots. I got very close with this one for output and lack of smoke. I think induced vortices would help with the burn and make things more efficient even a little fan to rotate the air in the chamber. There are lots of things that can be done with this one I think. I am uploading a video of this burner with forced air only and outside in the yard. Amazingly I was able to light it and get it running in a windy area with just a lighter and some firelighter . Output was extreme and with the bigger fan was good enough for foundry I think. will be live a littler later today. Thanks for the comment Cheers Gerry
I like your idea and think it's a well thought out plan, however, air that moves on its own accord behaves differently than forced air. The vanes would not impart the same swirling effect on the updraft as it would on forced air. The updraft is simply moving to a region of lower pressure whereas forced air is pressurized (it has speed) and has direction (which can be controlled).
