flew temp runs right about 180-200 after everything has settled and the exchanger fan on HI
id like to get it a bit hotter so the out going air is hotter with the same flow. im thinking a larger burn pot to maintain a clean burn with larger oil flow for more heat. its really working well though, so im probably going to finish up some insulation work and make improvements there before i go for more heat. only have about 15 more 4x4 pannels of 3" foam to go and the roof will be done finally.

my floor is wood so the whole setup is sitting on a 1/2" plate of steel and some cinder blocks.
so far it has been working great and no issues. i went a little over kill on the heat exchange tubes so there is def room to make more fire and pull more heat out.
running at about a gallon per hour with minimal flew smoke. any more it starts going rich and not clean, without really any more heat. i assume i need a bigger Pot to get more fuel to burn.
have close to unlimited supply of WMO or freyer oil so thats not a problem.

air pump:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CTP6M91/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A34ENBLB4H8OH5&psc=1
burn chamber is a stainless steel wine bottle ciller tin i got for 4$ at dollar store something like this:

3/8 steel fuel/brake line for oil line inside a 2" tube that reduces down to 1" before it goes into the burn chamber side for a swirl flowing burn
use a router speed control to adjust air flow. hose bib on 5 gallon bucket to adjust oil flow.
i like the 5 gallon bucket because it keeps you checking on it about every two hours or so. and keeps any mess down to 5 gals or less.

Just bought a house this year in Scottsville NY and i have a 36x160 all metal barn (2 story actually) I have been building the shop this year and working on the house also. we seem to go right from summer to winter with no fall. i had scored about 3200 sq feet of 3" foam board insulation for the roof of the shop side and almost have it all up.
in the mean time, i have been working on my version of a waste oil shop heater. i have watched a bunch of youtube and decided to go the barrel stove version and gave it a go!
working excellent tonight with 58 degrees in the shop with outside temp at 32 tonight. i am super happy. i still have more insulation to put up and could probably make some burn chamber improvements. i have put up a tarp wall to make the heated portion 36x60. 14 foot walls at edge and open beam construction 21' at peak. she is a big girl.
