My home made stove has been heating my shop for many years now. To start the stove I dump in a few ounces of Diesel fuel, add paper soaked in diesel and then light it with a gas match and away it goes. I have to dump the Diesel fuel up and over my burner, stuff in the paper first. While easy to do,it can be messy and I normally end up smelling like diesel fuel all day long.
I'd like to add a small external diesel fuel feed line and some sort of device to control the amount of Diesel fuel as it is very hard to see inside of the burner ( disk brake rotor and read drum type burner) .
I was thinking a small tank mounted away and above the stove with a copper or steel feed line. I have a few ideas as to how to portion the starting Diesel fuel but would like to see or read what you may have done to your stove?
Thanks for any info.
