Hello, very interested in your forum topic. I heard about waste oil heaters many years ago but have been using a kerosene heater made by tharrington. Well kerosene is so expensive now so now I am considering adapting it to start up on kerosene and then cut it to low or off and then run a oil drip system. Glad to have found your forum to see what others are doing. Thanks. Heres the heater I have been using for years.

Its been a good heater and I hope to make it a better one being able to switch to oil and cut down on the expense of the kerosene.

Welcome fireitup!

Glad you found the forum.  People have came and gone over the years and as you can see, they have contributed some good information to the forum.  I dont know if there are any active drip style members out here this year, but hopefully there are and can answer any questions you might have.

Good luck with your project.  Free fuel is the best!
