Waste Motor Oil / Re: Converting a corn stove to waste oil.

Greetings chuey_316!
I dont have direct experience converting a corn burner, but I would think as long as you can regulate the flow of the waste oil you should be able to keep temps in the range your stove can handle. Be careful as waste oil does burn hot. Sounds like an excellent plan on the cinder blocks. I'm not sure on the temp rating of the stainless vent pipe, but if you can efficiently extract the heat, keeping it in the room, you should be able to keep the stack temps cool enough so you dont damage it. Are you planning on some sort of drip system for your conversion? Sounds like an interesting project!
