Ok guys, what blowers are you using for your burners and where in the world do you get them?  I really hate to buy new....

Thanks,

Welcome Center / New guy who built one.

Hello from Iowa.  It's getting really cold here so I decided to build a burner for my hanger after pondering it for many years.  Anyway - it works.  But I would like to get more heat out of it.  My burner is based on a video I found on YouTube under "Simple Waste Oil Burner 1 Video".   I have a wood burner I've used for years that is a 1/2 inch thick steel tube capped on one end with a door on the other.  I drilled a 2" hole on top and inserted a 2" exhaust pipe down inside right above a cast iron skillet.  Inside the pipe is a 1/4" copper oil line running to a Kitty Litter pale for my oil tank.  LOL  A $10 Walmart hair dryer is my blower source stuck in the other end of the exhaust pipe.  

I light it by taking a little kero and hitting it with a torch.  Like I said, it works and burns well but I would like to get the flames to a white hot nature.  Any ideas?  Also, what are you guys using for an oil pre-heater?  With the cold temps the oil runs like molasses!

Thanks,

Paul
