Welcome Center / new here

I am new here and hope to learn from others.

I have a lot of stuff in my plans and want to start with used oil heating- WVO, motor oil!

I'm looking forward to getting a system together to knock my power bill down.

Doug,

how did you know which parts to buy?  Is there a book or just cruising here?

I have about 400 gallons of WVO, and will be picking up 200 gallons of used oil soon (this guy said he can get me a lot of oil)!
 
I have several friends that are machinists and am going to the scrap yard tomorrow- looking for aluminum bar stock to make a CKburner style pre-heater___ looking for a Beckettt- AFG..with 9" pipe?

I have a woodsaver II wood burning stove that I am going to use.  this is a wood burning (large long steel box) heater with a galvanized heat transfer box (surrounding the burnbox), thermostat, fan and its hooked to my heater duct work!  I'm going to take the door off and have another one built to mount a burner on.  This heater also has a set of water pipes that aren't plumbed that on the outside of the burn box but inside the transfer box!  I am also researching using this as a boiler set-up so I have two heat sources in one package...household heated water as well.
This stove is about 25+years old and still solid.

Newbie----advice needed!

thanks
