How to Build a Small, Low cost, High Output Waste Oil Heater! (Free Heat!?)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2020
- I built this project out of necessity for the cold weather months and I thought that some of you might be interested in following along. Waste oil burners are not new technology at all, and there are many other videos out there of how to build them in many shapes and forms. This is my attempt. I scaled down my unit by a substantial amount because there is a never a need to over complicate things and I am only heating a small area. Waste motor oil is readily available around my area and I can get as much as I want from my local shops at no cost, aside from my already abundant source that I have from changing the oil on our own vehicles.
This is definitely more of a practical project. However, necessity is the mother of invention! I'm a bigger fan of using skills and thought to fill a need than I am using money to fill that same need.
I hope this project can be informative to everyone watching and maybe prompt you to try to build one for yourself if you have similar needs. I was quite happy with my final product and I hope you enjoyed it too!
Please let me know if you have any questions on this or any of my other projects. I will do my best to answer them to the best of my abilities.
Thank you so much for all of the support on these videos. I'll keep making them as long as there is any interest!! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to visit my channel.
If you would like to help me make content and support the channel, then liking, subscribing, and sharing is the best way you can do that. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!!
Best regards,

Sorry about the music, guys!! I'm still learning how to edit and I can see that I've made a small mistake in my audio levels... XD
Could you reupload without music ?
A bit of advice regarding editing; do away with the music completely!
The content of your videos outweighs the need for any music at all.
What they all said... unless you happen to make your own music on a home-made instrument... tho even then, use caution.
Bro for someone who is relatively small in the RUclips world you are doing an amazing Job. Keep it up man.
60 some odd years ago, my father modified several pot bellied stoves, for friends. He would take a disk from a 6" or 8" harrow and weld 2 short legs and one long leg onto the disk, so that it would set in the firebox of the stove, at an angle of about 45°. He would solder a petcock on the bottom of a one gallon metal cooking oil can. Then he would fill the can with burnt motor oil, hang it on the wall or from a wire, hung from the ceiling, and run about 10ft. of copper tubing to the inside of the stove. The end of the tube was just inside the stove and oil dripping from the tube, would land on the high side of the disk. All you had to do was build a coal fire under the disk, wait for the disk to get hot, and crack open the petcock. oil would slowly drip onto the disk and burn of, as it ran down. As this heated the disk, even more, the oil would almost flash off, when it hie the disk. I can remember seeing those old stoves, on a cold night, glow red, they were so hot.
Cheers Bob, i was just thinking how to make something for the inside of an existing firebox!
I guess an old hubcap might do for a disc .... what we used to call "baby moons" in my area cause harrow disc's are rare in my area. You got my thinker going Bob.
This is what I needed to read thanks.. from NZ
Have to tell ya something else about my friend Don (past last XMAS) he had Parkinson’s. He would call it his “wild hand”.
Sometimes I’d hold his arm behind him so he could throw down a better bead...later I myself became pretty versed in welding and I’d weld critical areas for him. Watching your videos took me back to the good times I’d have when I’d tell my wife “I’m going over to Don Calans for a while”
Thank You Again,

James Shriver. This is the old school way to learn. Be proud, and thank you for commenting.
Sorry for your loss.
Tough to lose a good friend.
Even though most of the video was lost I really like how you explained everything in very simple terms, very informative. You have the best video on this that I’ve seen to date and I’ve watched a lot. So thank you for taking the time to do this.Can’t wait to see what else you have in mind.
This is fantastic!
A good source of 120vac to 24vac transformers are old forced air central gas furnaces. It’s used to power the control board and almost all safeties/limits. Also, the draft inducer for the burners is a high output (usually around 3,000rpm) 120vac fan, rated for very high heat, and has an outlet of usually 3”. For extra canisters you can use old refrigerant tanks (same exact design as a helium tank), they’re usually evacuated and a valve will be punched out to prevent being pressurized again. Just fill with water before cutting to purge of any refrigerant that might not have been properly evacuated, some refrigerants are mildly combustible. Call a local HVAC supply company and see if they have any old furnaces and refrigerant tanks lying around, most HVAC service companies will drop them off there for recycling.
Nice job! Don’t mind the critics....bunch of “experts” that have never made a video available for the world to view. You did a great job on the heater and the video.
I'm 56 now, but when l was 9 my dad had a friend with a car shop. He built a huge one and it kept the whole shop warm. It always amazed me. Kool vid. 👍
A 3 day retreat and gets right back in the action. That’s determination
I'm working on my first gasifier/ water heater. Trying to get 2 in 1 and also being able to connect a barrel to burn plastic. Love watching these videos. Keep rocking out.
Keep at it - don't wear yourself out by trying to do too much to quick. Quality better than quantity.

Here in Brazil, we are experiencing increasingly harsh winters, including snowfall in some places (nothing resembling the merciless Texas winter) and this small, efficient project is what I was looking for. Thanks for the post and humility when passing on knowledge.
Merciless Texas winters ? Have ppl in Brazil ever heard of Michigan ? ..... Nov, 6 2023 .... 0500 it was 17 degrees where I live ... that's 17 f
The music is a little to loud on this video, otherwise, I enjoy the detailed information you have on your projects!
Music? Is THAT what it's supposed to be?
No need for music - it spoils an otherwise good vid
No need to worry, as by the time he is ready to do another video his shop will have burned to the ground. Wow is this unsafe. He'd never get a permit.
Not sure if anyone's already commented, Roger Sanders, (or Saunders?) has a design for a waste oil burner that has a passive unpowered air-blast. Very simple and able to be well regulated.
What you've done there is good. I believe the "burn cup" will need a clean out from time to time, there tends to be some sort of build up from the impurities in the oil.
I enjoy watching videos of people building their own home improvement devices. If you are having fun doing it and can make some money at the same time, kudos to you and keep yourself happy! I will be tuning in from time to time. Thank you for posting!
Great work! You have inspired me to build one to dispose of my oil. Btw, you can weld galvanized steel, just don't breath the fumes and keep your feet clear.
Your design logic is great, and helped me make a couple decisions about how to proceed with the little oil burner I built. Mine is probably half the size of yours but I built it using the the same reasoning that you did (except I have a small hinged door)
Nice stove and video, this is the first channel I've ever subscribed to.
Thank you very much! The kind words mean a lot! I'm actually really interested to see a functioning unit that is that small. Do you have a video?
Another trick is continue to use the wood stove.Take a stainless brake line,run it to the top of the stove to where it will drip oil on the wood fire.At the other end have a tank of oil on the wall dripping into a small funnel into the brake line.That way you can visually control the flow.Once the oil is dripping into the fire,you will have a fire until you shut the oil off. And you can still use it as a wood stove when you run out of oil.
What I do with my big wood stove. Also pipe the stove inlet so it is feeding off outside air instead of wasting energy warming the air inside the shop then using that to feed the fire and sending it up the stove pipe.
I definitely enjoy watching you take this idea from paper to building becoming a functional heating source .
Do a revisit after a month or two to see how it had performed, and if any mods had to be done.
Keep a close eye on your pop rivets, that high heat may break down the aluminum of the robot then your tank will fall off causing a big fire. Think about using some hex head sheet metal screws or tap the holes for machine screws.
Like s 1/4- 20 hex head.
Thats what I thought too, the rivets are too light with those temperatures.
i was thinking of a cooking surface, 300 is a wee bit hot for tea/coffee, chili or stew or whatever...
It's press fit the rivets are extra if i heard right in the video not to mention him hammering it into the top prior to putting the rivets in. Agree with the revisit
You could just put a few bricks or cinder block under the can so even if the rivets melted it wouldn't fall all the way off.... or move at all if you spaced it right.
The burner bowl / canister needs to have access in able to clean the burnt by product.. He's has lost the ability to remove the burner to clean it.Perhaps if he uses a shop vac and gains access via the top cap that he uses to light it might suffice.
just an FYI you can remove galvanization from the whole pipe with a quick dip in hydrochloric acid or muriatic acid
For noise reduction, consider running the blower outside and piping the air into the shop and heater. Obviously cover the blower outside to protect it from the weather.
I just landed from your tracked vehicle video as everyone seems to, good work on what I've seen so far. I'm subscribing to see some more! Have a good one.
Very nice video and great build! I have been thinking about making one of these systems myself at some point and been watching videos on youtube, but haven't found a really clear explanation and good build yet. Then I noticed that you had done this as well and I knew that this would be worth while checking out. I live in Finland and the climate is pretty much the same here so something like this would be very useful.
By the way, really liked your all-terrain tracked vehicle!
Such a shame you have to spend so much energy appeasing the safety nit-pickers! We could all do without the safety grannies! Nice build. I like how fast you talk. Right to the point. We can rewind if we need to hear it twice.
only way I can manage is to run at 0.75x speed - way too fast
Heck yea, this dude just does the dang thang. Love the go get approach. School teaches to study and not do.
Played with waste oil burners for a number of years, and they really can produce a ton of heat simply. That said...they can also turn on you in a heart beat. Just a suggestion based on experience...do not leave it running un attended, and keep an eye on it while it's running. As the fuel warms up, the flow rate increases and you can get a runaway which can get out of hand quicker than you will believe...until it happens.
Ask my last pole barn
Great video & build. I now want to build one myself.
A few things....
1. Put fan outside with large intake facing down.
- Less noise inside. I did this decades ago for the air compressor. Works great. I also added a large cheap automotive air filter. This also lowered the noise, inside & out. Also cheaper than replacing specific air compressor filters each month.
- Fresh air from outside. No longer sucking cold air into shop thru walls or cracks. This increases heating efficiency.
2. Put oil tube in center of air inlet tube. Inside fire box.
- To keep oil cool. A safety thing.
Awesome build ! Small suggestion ... on the area (ring) that was glowing red, ( where the flame focuses ) on the outside you could tack weld some pieces of square or rectangular tubing going up and down to absorb heat and natural convection flow would push it through the room . I'm thinking 12 - 20 inches but whatever you can bring closest to the floor is best.
Thanks for the well thought out video !
That is a great heater. when i git my shop i making me one. keep up the great work
Wondering what the rivets are made of, if they are aluminium they might not last too long!
I learned many years ago from and old mech. To take used oil and put it into the oil tank used for running the oil furnace for the home. Great way to get ride of used oil.
Never had a problem. Filter takes care of most the dirt. 250 gal of diesel dilutes a gal of used oil easily.
I like the design of the legs which help protect the main heat source metal, and that also gives you the option to maybe fix a wire mesh or something for extra safety.
Insulation in your shed would be my first approach,still canny for love n peace Carl
Great Channel!
But could you please make the music quieter and your voice louder? Its sometimes really hard to understand without turning the speakers to max.
Yes! I'm sorry about that. I'm still trying to figure out how to edit. Thank you for the input!
Can't wait to see it installed in your shop!
awsome build. We have lots of waste oil lying around, and I live in Canada So -40 degree days are the norm for February. This will heat our shop well, thankyou keep up the good work.
So cool! Found your channel thanks to Chris Ramsay and am working through all your videos as a result - just really great! Going to send some of these to my brother who is a builder himself (mechanics mostly I think but these might give him some ideas none the less). :)
If I were you, I would turn the fuel off first and let everything burn off and cool down. that fan housing is only plastic and I can see the heat coming back up the pipe and melting it.
Your videos are amazing...
Well made, informative, educative and entertaining.
No time wasted in boring unnecessary stuff either, no need to watch it in x2.
Impressive! 👌👍
Recently discovered your Channel. Absolutely awesome. Skilled and knowledgable. Keep it up
I dig it! I think I'll do same thing with my old balloon tank.
I have seen where someone made a third version to the waste oil burner. Their design did not require a fan or electricity. They used hole cut in the bottom, and built the "burning cup" so that as the air for combustion enters the burning chamber, it came in around the center of the burn cup in a spiral, causing the oil and air to mix quite efficiently. This is the build I'm going to be trying first.
Link?
Would you like to share the link or title with the rest of the class?
I don't know how to share u-tub shows to u-tub again, but the general idea is to have a hole in the bottom which let's the air into the burn chamber. Ut the direction of the air flow is Directed in a spiral around the top of the oil that is burning. Thus as we all know heat rises, which inturn draws its own air into the burn chamber. All that is required is to direct the air into the burn in a right manner, and it all becomes authentic. The only thing left to do is to regulate the oil. Which is covered as well in these videos as well.
@@charlesjohnson5579 What is the title of the video? I can search for it myself. Also, to share, you can click "share" then "copy to clipboard" then just right click (if you're on a computer) in a comment and "paste" . Or if you're on a phone, just hold your finger down where you would type a comment and options should pop up to either cut copy or paste. Either way, if you could at least kindly tell me the name or title or keywords of the video, then I could put it in a search and hopefully find it, thanks.
@@Hayden734 look up Gerry DIY
Love the build and extending the blower tube to outside your shop would give a quieter run while allowing for cooler are to be introduced. Nice job!
That works exactly like the commercially built paraffin heater in my model engineering club albeit not in terms of the specifics but the club one has a deep cup you light through a hole in the side and then blows heat up through internal pipes and a big slow moving fan blows heat around the club. Thanks for sharing.
PS, I am a little jealous of how fast your channel blew up.... Well done!
this is one of the coolest channels i have seen around atm
That really means a lot. I'm trying to fill gaps that I see in content and I'm really trying to give this everything I have. Thank you very much.
I agree
@@randomn6473 just dont overwork yourself. the content your putting out takes a lot of time to create, there is no need to make more then a few videos a month, dont want to see you burnt out ^^
Great stuff, there were a few other people saying this, but I'll repeat, music is too loud. Dont take it as criticism of your work. All the best.
Talking, and silence between the talking, is fine. The repetitive boring music doesn't add anything of value.
Yeah, music always needs to mixed a lot lower than what you originally think. Done right music adds a nice contrast, done improperly it just gets in the way.
I'd like the music to be quieter than the talking to be honest, that way if I'm watching a video at night I can set the volume to what is needed to understand what is said and leave it instead of talking then A BLAST OF MUSIC OMG WIFE IS PISSED! I don't like wearing headphones because I can't listen for the other things i need to listen for around the house...animals, kids...phone, whatever..
@@Blackinterceptor999 Yeah, when you mix the final mix you need to make sure that the master volume doesn't peak above the dialogue even when only music is playing or you'll have a ton of annoyed viewers. I think that sentence made sense. :)
Nice job. I have a drip on my wood burner now but after watching this I gotta build me one
Dude hopefully I can work through some of my junk in my yard this summer. keep it up
Suggestion. Put sheet metal on frame and divert some of your air flow around outside of your heat chamber.... and you have forced air heating....lol
Put a oil drip on woodstove then makes wood last 10 times longer and much hotter. Then wall board insulation. Heats my 24/32 barn awsome. No electric required. But good project
That is what I have been considering so I have multiple options for fuel,I assume if properly placed drip tube I could use wood,coal,a pot for oil only or as you said oil on wood I'm glad to see your comment.
could I do that indoor? My woodstove heats my house nicely but not getting very hot.
Having some thermal mass around the heat source to radiate heat long after the fire is out, helps immensely. Thanks for posting this. So much waste oil.
Seal the holes in a small brake rotor and place it in the woodstove. Install oil dripper tube so it’s over the rotor. Burn wood in the stove as normal and whene the fire is going well, allow oil into the woodstove. The brake rotor keeps the the oil from wicking and Leaching through the ashes to the bottom of the firebox. Before the fire is out, turn the oil off because if it smolders out and the oil doesn’t stay lit, it can puff or “whuff” and blow the chimney off the stove while your not there to save the day.
Awesome job man I’ve actually been gathering materials to build my own since seeing this and other vids of waste oil heaters
There's a small hole in your chimney. That setup you have built is excelent and well thought out. I had only heard of waste oil burners before but I had never really looked into how they worked. If it was mine I would be running a coil of copper pipe inside for hot water. I'm sure that, that is much more efficient than a chip heater like the ones that we had when I was a kid in the sixties. Well done all around and thanks for giving me some new ideas to play around with.
I was surprised with how clean that exhaust is
@Randomonium I Love this simple design, I know it would complicate it, but some type of blower to move the heated air around the room might add to it's efficiency . On a safety note, if the rivets used to hold the bottom section are aluminum the could melt, I would replace them with steel screws or steel rivets.
Great video , and yes let see a different blower hooked on there.
That is a great idea. I may just have to make one at some point, thanks for sharing. Great video as well no down time.
This is one of the coolest things i've ever seen
Thank you!
You mean hottest 😉😎
If you want to use gas bottle btw super easy trick, fill it with water before you do anything.. guarantees no gas is left in there.
Done that a number of times building proper insulated rocket heaters.
It had helium in it. Not flammable. But definitely a heads up for people using other types of bottles 👍
Its better to fill the tank with an inert gas like argon. Water should do the trick for most fuels.
@@seanhughes1927 helium is an inert gas. That's what was in the tank he used.
A guy came into our welding shop to have his damaged motorcycle gas tank repaired. We had recommended that he have it steamed before brining it in, but he just washed it out a few times with water and asked if that would be good enough. The owner said it would be fine because he would be standing beside the welder performing the work. He seemed a little nervous about that.
Lol what's the fun of that!
Funny enough, I had a blow dryer in my early designs as well, but I was going to use it as is, so that you have somewhat of a speed control as well as a "pre heat" function. Not entirely sure why you went to the lengths of taking it apart. These burners work well indeed, it is a neat design but relies heavily on forced air, it makes it very efficient and clean burning, but you always need power. Good job on this project! I found that ceiling fans work very well as they are very quiet and plug and play.
Very cool, I shared it with a friend of mine that is trying to build his own
this channel pretty good. can I get in contact so I can send you that infrared thermometer?
Tate I have watched your video about this heater, and your bug out vehicle and the wheelchair. Dude, you are awesome. Where do you come up with all your fab designs and first sketches? I know, aliens! Keep up all the badass work .Good luck. Ken Fowler Tenn. hillbilly
You’re the perfect combination of Andrew Camarata and Colin Furize! Keep up the great work; coming to love this channel. Also, don’t overwork yourself!
I love the simplicity in this! If burning stops, you might stop flowing oil automatically. Though it is not critical.
a horizontal section of flue pipe would decrease the huge amount of heat going straight out the chimney
When you shut it down, and the fan is off, what keeps the latent heat from rising up the pipe and melting the plastic fan case, or do you keep it running ?
yep, definitely cut off oil then run fan for a while.
once you know how long it takes to cool, when you shut off oil plug your fan into a timer and let it sort itself out
Wow! Awesome video dude! Definitely got to build me one of these. Thanks.
A VERY thoughtful build!
Hmm, you planning grinding them rivets off after every burn so ya can get in to scrape all the crispy crud out of it?
This is very cool.. might attempt building this one. Any recommendations to reduce the noise ?
Definitely. Either use a quieter fan, or, if you feel safe doing so, you could make one using the second design. Thank you for the comment.
Great Idea works and looks great!
This was awesome to see! :D great video!
Good job on your heater. That hair dry fan needs to be replaced. I was wandering if you could use a heater core fan out of a vehicle? Those seem to put out alot of air ,and they're quiet.
That's what I used on my gasifier and it's probably the best solution for this as well. Unfortunately I used the only one I had and I don't really have any vehicle junk yards close to where I live. That would make life so much easier though. XD Thank you for the comment!
Randomonium did I hear you are in WI ? If you are close to where I live I can give you a fan
Rod, quite a lot of oil heaters manage to create a draw with a high chimney. No fan needed then.
@@1943L i get that , but i dont think this heater is gonna work good without a fan,Drawing air in from the top?
Rod, might just be a question of directing the air from low down.
I'm excited to see what your next build is. I watched your first video on the All-terrain vehicle (which by the way was awesome and hope we get to see a v2 of it) and couldn't stop myself from binge watching the rest of them. Won't be to long before you start getting a really big follow.
Just found you're channel today, really sad you only have a few videos lol hope to see more soon!!
Has always I liked,Shared. Great build. All my best.
The wood stove looked big until I noticed the mug!😁
Good video but I don't see the point of the background music!
You might try adding some insulation, you can get foam board pretty cheap, like even the thinnest stuff would make a huge difference. Just an idea, cool video nonetheless.
I was thinking the same thing, sheet metal walls do not hold heat.
Yeah, not at all. XD I need to look into the insulation. I have to decide whether or not I'm going to upgrade my small space, or save up to build a real workshop someday though.
@@randomn6473 You could perhaps use glass or rock wool, I wouldn't be too keen on insulating a workshop with flammable foam board.
Nice build! Thanks for the great video! Most important, don't let your tea get to hot on that thing.
You're doing great ! Awesome video !
The forced air should come from outside. By pulling air from the shop and venting outside you are creating a vacuum in the air space of your shop. Nature abhors a vacuum.
It would also be much quieter if he moved the fan outside
Pulling air from out side will be cold and more condensed,more oxygen, and you don't want to take your hot air inside your building and send it out
I was thinking the same thought. Build a small shed on the outside wall to hours both the fan and the oil tank.
Bring oil through on a flexible pipe to your gate valve on the inside near the burner itself.
Been there and done this your gonna regret not being able to clean it out easily
If he lets it cool he might be able to clean the ash with a small shop vac and hose from the top.....just a thought!
i was hoping he would make the cover removable for this exact purpose i think it's probably just gonna fill up with crap and then you can't take it off
Another great video, unfortunate about the lost footage but you recovered well and still made it interesting.
I'd extend that inlet pipe outside the shed and semi-enclose the fan to isolate the noise. Great job! I'd love to see you tackle the other style too - it would be great as a portable option.
those aluminum rivets should be replaced with steel rivets and more of them for safety. The aluminum can melt at high temps
Screws , also a heavy gauge bottom
I would still add some insulation on the walls and ceiling!
My primary heat was a wood stove for many years. The issue you have, when you push exhaust out the top, it pulls in air from outside to replace air going out, so it never gets warmer. To make the stove more effective, go through a bundle into coals fairly quickly, add more wood, then shut it down, to minimize exhausting (shut the door, open/adjust any dampeners so it gets just enough air to stay going for hours). Then a fan to pull the heat off the metal and into the room. Then in early morning, toss some more in and crack it a little so it burns hot again, and repeat process. Occasionally you'll need to go through a hot fire so you burn off the resin. I found that the chimney sweeping logs do help fighting the resin, so I'd use a few for the season, depending on how many times I burned it anarobic (lack of oxygen).
From my experience, when the door is wide open, that is when the fire burns the coldest. As you close the door, you'll notice that it starts to roar. But that comes at the cost of faster exhaust. Use the cracked door method to create the bed of coals. Once you've achieved a bed of desired quantity, that's when you add for final shutdown. If the fire is hot enough from the coals, it'll burn slow and ghosty. If you ever open it during this period, you'll notice that it has a minor flashback through the door when you open it, then roar. That's the point you want to hit for cooking or having heat last the night.
I used to use a glass bowl/cup of wax as and indicator of how well a fire is burning. If the fire burns out fast, then the wax hardens more flat, if it cools off slow, then the wax forms a deep dip in the middle, as the edges harden first, as it contracts from cooling, and eventually the core is hardening at it's furthest point of contraction. This becomes useful information to understand how to adjust your burn. Typically, I'd run with a crack and feed it until the wax starts to melt at the bottom. I'd also keep a kettle of water on the stove to rehumidify the air, when the kettle is lightly steaming, you are close to shut down.
I hope RUclips works out for you because i already really like your videos. Keep up the good work!
If you’re gonna split wood like that, lift the wood and ax together, then as you start to swing down, pull the hand holding the wood away.
It was pretty scary watching him run that hatchet.
Came to say the same. Also yeah that was terrifying to watch
If u insulated That wood stove should heat that space no problem.
Exactly wood works on radiating the heat should have had fire bricks and could have used dryer lint for a fire starter instead of kinlin also that wasn't a fair shake for the wood heater since he had a buffer between the thermostat
@@shuntasayles5270 yep insulate and use some brick an that lil stove will run you out

Nice job! I like it and your gasifier as well.
Very nice furnace build. What you've got there is a great start to some other potential heat-powered projects, as you alluded to. I was thinking about your design and how you could potentially eliminate the need for the DC powered intake fan: by making the intake fan mechanically powered by the energy from the exhaust stack. Think about it. It could essentially function the same way a turbocharger works, only more primitive. Basically a simple turbine. It might be possible to use a pair of squirrel-cage style blowers coupled together at the axle. You might need the 12V motor to get it started.
