Moov,
Yes, simple and still very impressive. I like it.  Thanks helping me understand your burner.
Is the air supplied with a compressor or is it gravity feed?

try to take several pictures !!!
i also bought some parts from ck burners, trying to get all my parts together.  if you need a retention head i just got one on ebay, i thought it was a good deal???

Got some before, got some after pix. Just don't know how to post them.

So far it's been very simple to assemble no big problems. ckBurners are great to deal with. The Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend I was assembling the heater block and needed some information. So I sent an email to ckBurners thinking I'd be first on there list Monday to get a reply.  To my surprize they replied that afternoon.

Had a junk stainless steel microwave laying in the scrap pile, so  I've made my own retention head.  Also had  made a retention like the style you bought, but I wasn't happy with the way it came out.

Finally picked up a burner control with 15 second safety switch.

Just need to wire up the heater controls and I'll be good to go. May try to and test fire it this weekend without using the block heater before I go any farther.

Moov,
 Call me old and slow, I've watched your video several times now and I'm not sure I understand how your burner works. Can you give me some more details about your burner. It looks impressive.

Your hair dryer may not be able to give it the air it needs to burn hotter.

I wasn't sure where Croatia was. So I Googled it. What a beautiful country. Wow! 15 years of heating with used oil. Looking forward to seeing your heater design.

Check out the "user projects and pictures" section on this site and look for the "my roger sanders waste oil heater". This was one of the heater I considered building. Nice looking heater.

Order parts Monday for my project. A preheater block kit, relays and temp controllers. Wow, today Wednesday I received my preheater block kit in the mail. Thanks ckBurner that's great service. To top that yesterday UPS dropped off the relays from Mc Master Carr. More great service.
Glad to do business with these two companies.

I think it's cool.  Can you tell us more details about your conversion. I've seen these heaters on craigslist pretty cheap.

Made the first step today. Picked up a EnerRoyal fuel oil furnace with a tank. The burner is a Beckett AFG. Going to convert it into a siphon system.  Next step will be to buy a nozzle kit.

Russ,
 Thanks again. Hope I don't drive you away with all my little questions. Did find a picture today of a ckBurners nozzle block that showed the thermocoupler install on the left side like yours. It's the little things I want to get straight in my mind before I start my project.

SHMO,
I come down the same road you have. I started looking at the MEN drip style heaters. Then I came across the classy drip style heater that is pictured on the home page here. Then my interest turned to a Spike or Ozzirts style drip feed. Now I like the idea of having a heater I can controll with a thermostat. I'm going to convert a used fuel furnace into a usable waste oil heater. If this works well then I want to see if I can adapt  the burner to my outside corn boiler. It's a dream, but I hope I can get there.

Thanks Russ,
I've looked at so many pics and posts I can't remember whats what. I do remember looking at your system. Very nice and clean looking. I have a question . Where did you mount your thermocoupler in the nozzle block? Most pic don't show clearly where they've installed the thermocoupler in the nozzle block.
