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

I built a gun from the kit sold by craig at ckburners, used it last with an old
woodstove as combustion chamber and had no problems. This year I have it
installed in my miller furnace. I've only used it a handful of times on a few
cool and nights and so far so good. burns cleanly and the furnace functions
normally. no smoke from the chimney and the combustion chamber looks good. I'm
going to keep an eye on the chamber and check frequently for a while. I'm
fairly confident that the miller furnace will work. If I find that the burn
chamber is failing I'm sure something can be constructed from fire brick or
refractory cement to take its place. I would say go for it, it seems to be
working for me, at least so far. I'm using filtered wvo by the way.

I have read enough to know that combustion chamber size is critical
with siphon setups. I wonder, could I make a setup for my Miller
Mobile Home furnace in my workshop? I don't even know what kind of
burner to buy for experimenting.

The other thing that has been crossing my mind is to get a boiler for
out there and run WVO in it. There are lines going back into the
house that used to heat the workshop with the home furnace. Maybe I
could make an outdoor furnace like the wood ones that are advertised.

Then again, I'm FORBIDDEN from starting any new projects until I get
the living room and dining room remodeled. Doesn't stop me from
thinking though.
