I realize this video was posted several years ago, but I have a question. Does the oil just drip directly onto the wood? I’ve been wanting to do this to my 55 gallon barrel stove that I built, but I wasn’t sure how well it would work. Thanks.
Yes it does but it will clog up your pipe after time. Since then I built a steel box to encase the pipe and also increase it to 1/2” pipe. This allows the oil to drip out into the box and spread out over the fire, so far so good
@@mkehl1 thanks for the reply! Im not sure im understanding what you mean about the steel box though. is this at the bottom of the stove for the oil to drip onto?
@@mwtaylor1980 the steel box is simply a rectangle type box with a hole for the pipe in the top. I drilled a 1/2' hole in the top of the box and welded the pipe into the opening. The old dispenses into the box and drips over the fire. The box shields the opening of the pipe from the fire and building up creosote in the end of the pipe. So far it has worked great!
How do you keep copper line from crusting closed. If I use mine the whole day while burning, it’s fine but if I use it to start the fire and don’t use it to keep burning just burn wood mine gets so crusty you can’t even get oil to flow through it. I have to cut it and put a new section in.
Actually this was an issue. At first I flared the end,, it helped but still had the issue. I eventually replaced the copper line with a 1/2" black pipe and welded a little "box" on the bottom so the flame would hit that instead of the pipe end first. So far it works perfectly.
So, do you use your own waist oil exclusively, or harvest it from others as well? Does it hurt much when you extract it? And how exactly do you extract it? Beats the hell out of dieting. (I can only assume you're talking about belly fat.
hmmm...interesting concept...but doesnt it burn the wood faster... i wonder how much wood u burn in that over 8 hours... I use my wood stove for both sometimes but made a bowl where i burn the waste oil and then burn the wood on the side.... i can also run it as just an oil or just a wood stove. im attempting to heat for damn near free with wood and used oil. this is very possible one would just have to source oil and wood. which is a great idea for us northern folks.. we must do something to keep up with inflation... this will help keep our dollars for our own ambitions and not wasted on utilities that the public pay to setup then get charged to consume. we the people could feed,water,power,entertain and manage our own waste if we would just study a few key concepts like waste oil burners, methane generators, wood gasifiers and stuff of the DiY and Offgrid/Homestead Life.
Simple is good. 👍
Be looking for ya at bg in the campgrounds

How does the dripping oil turn into wood?
Doesn't turn into wood, it just simply drips on it and burns.
