Waste Oil Heater Forum - Your definitive source for burning waste oil for heat.

Hello Henney do dar,

I dont think I have ever seen anything small enough for that size space.  The diesel space heater would be a perfect size, but it looks like it soots up pretty fast if attempted to be run on waste oil.

so what is the smallest waste oil burner that you have seen then?

Hi
Plenty of waste engine oil going round hear

Looking to heat a box trailer up of an area aprox of 2.5 X 6 meters. Have a log burner in hear so if I could buy a space heater that will fit inside of the burner then i can put that inside the log burner or better still buy an oil burner that is flued

The usual tool shops round hear only sell Diesel space heater so i guess waster engine oil wont run on them

I'm thinking just a basic needle valve setup for now, but maybe next year installing a small low flow pump, and wiring it up to the auger control.

I have a corn stove (Amizablaze 3000 aka Nesco 2100) that hasn't been used for the last 4-5 years since corn prices went up, making it no longer cost effective to heat my home. I finishing building a 24x24 garage right now, and would like to move the stove out there, and convert it to burn waste oil, using the original blower to move heat into the air. Converting isn't an issue, but I do have a couple questions for those who may have done this.

Will the corn stove hold up to the heat, or are they too thin walled? Also, how far from the wall should it be? I plan to stack cinder blocks in front of the wall where the stove will go, but don't want the wall to get too hot. Lastly, will the 3" double wall stainless vent pipe that the stove uses be ok to use? The exhaust vent rests inside a 5 or 6" wall thimble.

The garage is uninsulated right now, but will have rolled fiberglass in the walls, covered by 7/16 osb soon.

thank you sir
