Hello again to you all from Bretagne.
Have any of you built a Waste Oil Burner (ie: Engine oil) to heat your workshops ?
We are going to do one over the coming months and have a plan of sorts. Anyone out there interested ?

Re: Waste Oil Burner
Plenty of stuff on the net on them. Brilliant things by the looks of it. I built a log burner last winter for the garage.
It took a little time sourcing and making it properly. Works great and kept me going in cold that would not have been possible before.
All in it cost me £26

Re: Waste Oil Burner
Yep , we have a logburner and a bit of forest.
But a waste oil burner would do 3 jobs - heat the workshop - save us the work with the logs - use up the oil.
We are going to build the Rogers Sanders burner over the next few months.

Re: Waste Oil Burner
My mate has one in his workshop (bought it, not homemade). Not really that great a heat output in my opinion & he needs to clean it out every other day (well his apprentice does) which is quite time consuming.

Re: Waste Oil Burner
We had one in the workshop back in the sixties, driven by compressed air. It was pretty good for heating a big space but the oil had to be free from any water or it went out when a water droplet came through and then re-started with a huge bang and filled the place with soot.
I laughed at the suggestion in the link that the soot was just carbon that dropped to the ground, I think that's what the environmentalists call particulates that cause cancer, asthma and the like.
