- January 7th 2017 First start up and run of the season.
Built this waste motor oil furnace out of a 100 lbs propane tank and some black pipe (gas fittings) check out some of my other videos for more info.
Close the outside door,it will get even warmer
It appears to be very impressive. I live in the deep South........Southernmost Alabama near the coast. I need something a bit smaller. I have a couple of helium tanks available. I think I could do something pretty cool with those.
to start to heat pan a cleaner burn is kerosene . and lowers burn point of oil in pan . less smoke .
object of the stove is low cost heat, not 4$ in K1 every start
needs some baffles to keep heat in the stove (heat sink ) chimneys hotter than the stove
I agree, an old brake rotor or two spaced a lil apart would help hold on to and disperse the heat. But, a nice build.
Add a 24 volt control valve on the drip. And wire it to a thermostat. Then you'd be set. Then you'd need some automatic spark igniter. Probably use some old Beckett burner electrodes. Wait.... Just fab up an old Beckett burner... Brilliant!
VW diesel engine glow plugs are dirt cheap, easily obtained, and gets fuel over it's ignition temperature. :) Downside, they draw 10-15 amps each @ 12v for however long you need to get the fire lit proper.
Хай дуюду чувак
By far, I think you designed the most Simple but Effective burner and the best part is keeping the Cost down which is awesome. I am building mime just like yours, but with few extra stuff. I might incorporate a Camp Fire Gas Stove for start up so the burning Chamber will get HOT faster without opening the Door, LOL. But overall, yours are simple and effective :))))
Hey, I have a problem with my current set up. The Pot I am using doesn't stay hot enough to burn things out. If I put the Fan on, even at low... It won't stay on :((((, keep blowing out :((((. Can you give me some Tips? Does the Pot / Burning Chamber has to be really HOT in order for it to re-ignite and burn ??? Thank you !!!
the size of the burn chamber (pot) you use matters if its to big then it wont run right. as seen when i start mine i use a plumbing torch to get it lit and often keep it against the side of the pot to get it to temperature to vaporize the oil.
also to much oil in the pot makes it difficult to start so you could try starting with a small amount of kerosene then when that is lit add the oil.
Good luck and be safe.
Great work.
I would like to know how you are feeding oil and air or how oil reaches that burning region.
Thanks.
This project is worthy of making with my everlast welder.
You’re hopeless at welding
Check out Gerry's DIY, he has much better design I think. This design is forcing the heat out the flue with the fan. Not efficient!
I watched a couple of Gerry's videos. His uses no electricity. MrAzspike looks pretty heavy duty,but electricity needed. My camp in VT has no electric. I have a very old propane tank and will watch some more videos to find the easiest and best efficient design to build.
Camp Freedom. Do your home work before you start cutting on that tank! Maybe you already have. I just don't want anyone to get hurt or killed!
May you ask my brother, within 24 hours, how many liters of oil does he consume? Thanks
About 4 liters per hr running full tilt.
Less if you run it low
Great information do you have a video of the build it seems to be working great thanks for your time
there are several on them at youtube, i have saved some in my playlist "fire"
I still need one hot enough to dispose of bodys ....... Deer bodys of course
Just a little tip(and just the tip) if the flames don’t “lick” up the inside of the tank a lot of heat goes up the chimney. A stainless steel mesh in the flu helps to burn cleaner. Sink strainers that you put over the drain to keep food from going down work great.
ricvis44 thats the same as a catalytic converter the mess gets super heated and burns the excess fuel. and i was thinking he should put a brake rotor right over it to spread that flame out.
Can you show me how did you connect the fan across? Regards
That blower was on a hot water tank and had a 12" long rubber tube T that fit over the 11/4 pipe and i taped off the open side of the T.
I have a few videos that shows the layout better
Your video just caught my eye 👍
Where in Alberta are you ?
I'm central alberta and heat my 36x60 shop with a really cool smokeless oil burner .
What type of CFM are you feeding it? Or what blower; I had a hard time hearing what you used, thanks.
Works well, how about using some non-polluting method to preheat the burning pot before starting introducing the oil and small air blast? Something like a shallow container under the oilburning bowl with perhaps a half cupfull of methylated spirit and burn that to preheat the bowl above, and if that create enough heat the initial smoke problem might be reduced or eliminated?! 🙄
A hose for a washing machine is not made to handle oil.
glad to see you done great job im guessing you did it before the hind sight no building know it alls comments.
your oil is not dripping as you say? its a steady stream? when running ?
Check out Jerry’s DIY Ireland check out his that’s all he uses little bit of kerosine and where it goes
Simple use 3/4 of a cup of kerosine use it towards just get started it doesn’t take a second win the bowl starts to burn break start your oil no problem with you doing it takes you too long but good job on the on the waste oil heater good job
do you control the heat by how much is dripping in??...
Yvon Larocque
Yes the oil flow + air controls the heat. But to much oil with out more air will burn rich and lots of black smoke. So you need to find a balance.
It needs refining, the air needs a blast gate installing so you can finely adjust the flow, not just by a fan speed controller. Another thing is exhaust gas recycling. Cars use this to retard the ignition point which slows the ignition point and also means you can further regulate the burn, resulting in a lower more efficient burn temperature. It also reduces emissions. This is done with a duct fan off the chimney, another blast gate and adding to the air intake just before it enters the burner. Once lit and running the exhaust gas can be introdiced and you should find with practice you can det the yellow flame (rich mixture) down to almost blue (ideal ratio) which is the sweet spot where air and fuel ratio burns at an ideal ratio and mixture.
SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA BAHIA BLANCA 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hows the smoke and CO2 in the garage?
Thanks for showing us the heater you built!
I wonder if you would get even better performance if you used some of the characteristics of a rocket heater.

9:36 WHAT was that? Tell me it was SFX?
I wish I had a place and the tools to build one, because I know I can't afford to buy one.
So is both the oil and air being introduced downward together into the same central 2" or 3" steel pipe? This is a lot different from others I have seen where the air just comes up from the sides or bottom naturally, not forced down directly onto the pan and with the others, the oil is delivered in a tube from the side. This style seems crazy dangerous to me compared to others. Is there any particular reason you did it this way?
Yes both oil and air are in the same pipe. The oil starts in 1/2 and pours into the center of the 1 1/4 pipe at the elbow above the burn chamber. Combining the oil with forced air helps thin it which will burn quicker/vaporize.
I have a few other videos posted describing the layout better
Very cool, What temperatures are you getting
Temp's on the Tank 1600 ish in the flue not sure as the gauge i currently use it wraps around. but in the garage for my work area i see over two hours it warms up by 20C. and on that day i did not pay attention and it ran a little hot but did get 35c from when i started the furnace to seeing the tank glowing red and adjusting the fuel (WMO)
Thanks for the question
what is the fitting on outside of tank that the air and oil pipes compine looks like 1/2" and 1" into 1
The air pipe is 1 1/4 the oil line is 1/2
The oil line feeds through the air tube inside the chamber and ends almost center for where it drops
I found that the 1/2 line could fit in a 3/4 pipe.
1 of the other videos I layer out all the pieces and walk through how it hooked up.
Put some water into it in a very very small stream into the oil and it'll get three times hotter the whole thing will get red hot on less oil , it has to be running hot before you start it, unbelievable amount of heat with the water, it ends up burning hydrogen and oxygen after the waters cracked
'it ends up burning hydrogen and oxygen after the waters cracked'... THEN IT CRACKS THE WATER INTO HYDROGEN & OXYGEN... And then burns the hydrogen & oxygen, which makes water... And then it does it all over! Perpetual motion! By dang you solved the problem with Physics! No need for further fuels!
Can I get the parts info please
You have a nice "Ghradgge"
Where do you get the waste oil?
I work for a company with a fleet of 40 trucks so i get all the oil i need from work.
I have heard of other people who get oil from dealerships or mechanic shops.
in sweden they seem to sell it for like $1 per liter but sometimes its for free
Do you know how much Cfm your fan is. I’m running a 50 cfm I’m not sure if it’s enough. Thanks
Hello
I don't know what the cfm is on this blower.
Also I have it connected with a fan dial switch so I can regulate the power to adjust the speed it rarely runs at full power.
NO ESTÁ EN ESPAÑOL. BYE.....
You think all your heat would be going up the chimney and out
Yes lots of heat is being lost in this system. Putting a water or glycol system would make it more efficient.
Hi, since the door is NOT sealed or even tight... Do you get Oil burning smells? I am going to make one soon for a Shop Heater, so if it smells... I don't want to make one. Thank you !!!
Jod Bronson
hello
on start up and shut down is the only time it smells.
when it's running with the door open it burns hot enough there is no smell.
Ah, THANK YOU !!! When I make mine, I make sure to worry about that Door... LOL. I really want to make one without a Door, just how to CLEAN it is the question, LOL. Pretty easy with Auto Lighting and Refueling.... Cleaning is the question, LOL
I have another question. What kind of Paint did you spray your Tank with? High Temp Stove Paint? Thank you !!!
Jod Bronson
yes just black high temp paint
should swirl it
eenside the graaage
What kind of fan or blower unit you have.
I pulled it from the scrap bin at a furnace shop.
I think it came from a High efficiency hot water tank
I did not see what you were using to supply the air. Maybe do another video and show us your air blower?
he clearly stated it was a fan from a hot water tank lol.
Energía infinita y gratuita sigue así Máster
Why the hell do you leave the door open so much?
The outside door is open for fresh air. The door on the furnace is open to get more heat out of it.
Can anyone tell my why mainly Canadians and Americans, when doing UA-cam videos, are constantly swapping between calling themselves "I" and "we" or "our" and "mine"?
That's a good question.
I drink on occasion then we have a good time with our things that are mine.
MrAzspike hahaha.....that is certainly as good an explanation as any. Keep warm and Merry Christmas.
MrAzspike yep.
I take credit, we make mistakes, they are to blame.
Great Job !!!
Thanks for your post
Hello. Question on your oil/air plumbing. As it was difficult to see in the video, did you have your oil feed running into your air flow pipe? If so, how far up from the bottom of the burner pipe? Thanks in advance.
Hello Peter.Here is a link to new video that might help with how the furnace/Burner is built.ua-cam.com/video/UPqyQMfnrk0/v-deo.html
You don't need the blower.
For this still a blower is needed.
It could be modified for an up draft style where the required air gets sucked in to the combustion chamber
Looks bloody dangerous
what happens if you add a drop of water with the air intake once in a while?
Haven't tried that yet but my guess the water would vaporize quicker then the oil.
@@MrAzspike i was thinking like if it would work as a explosion agent actually. sorry i forget to tell about it
a youtube search on "oil water fire" shows how dangerous that combination is. i have hard time beliving water adds energy anyway but who knows, right
If the temp were high enough to split the water straighten fuel
@@sheilamclaughlin963 you mean like that it adds air/oxygen to the fuel?
If the dog hadnt stopped to shit he would of caught the rabbit @@sheilamclaughlin963
why don't you show how you built it.....
one of the first videos has more detail how its built. goes over pieces of pipe that are used.
Hello dino AnastasiaLink is to a new video with more detail on how its put together. ua-cam.com/video/UPqyQMfnrk0/v-deo.html
any added benefit on putting the flue out the back near the top and 90ing to the straight flue pipe? opposed to how you have it (straight up and out)??? Also one more quick question. My garage used to be setup to run #2 heating oil. It has a 4" flue (up and out) My question is 4" adequate for these waste oil burners too? Can I just plumb into the old 4" flue? 4" from the burner all the way up?
Sure you could run the pipe out the back it could keep more heat in the furnace before it exits, where in mine it goes straight up and out. i want to add some tubes through the center to allow pipes to get hot and have air blow through.
4" should work i went with the size as that is what i found for it. my set up was salvaged so i used what was available.
