    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.

    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

    • @GerrysDiy
      @GerrysDiy  7 лет назад +3

      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

    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!

    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!

  • @yodamann5193

    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,

    • @GerrysDiy
      @GerrysDiy  7 лет назад +3

      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

      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.

    Gerry, its been 30 years since I worked in an auto shop who used a waste oil burning system. Back then the unit pushed out so much black carbon "strings" out of the chimney that the neighbors got together and had the thing shut down because their houses and cars and stuff were getting covered with the black "strings". does your burner push this stuff out of the chimney, or does it burn clean? I thank you for any information you can provide.

  • @NialPowerCork

    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.

    Out of all your waste oil burner set ups which one do you think is the best. This one or The other one with the torch bottle with all the holes on it. I made one about four years ago using the car brake drum and brake disc it works great. I want to make one for my buddies shed but I want to try some thing easy and different

    • @GerrysDiy
      @GerrysDiy  4 года назад

      Hi Tino. They work great with a stove with good draw from the flue. I found that if the flue was 4 metres / 14 feet and 150 / 6 inch in diameter then the stove with the holes is easy to make and works like a chanp. I have a few of these and when one gets full of waste / ash I just put in a clean one and go again. Hope this helps Cheers Gerry 👍

  • @PicMartSkunkWerX
    @PicMartSkunkWerX 7 лет назад +5

    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.

    • @GerrysDiy
      @GerrysDiy  7 лет назад +4

      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

    • @jackbursovsky
      @jackbursovsky 3 года назад +2

      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).

      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
