right i'll try to explain how ive done it, as you can see i found a drum from the back of a car i then had another one slightly smaller that fits together like a clamshell,
ive drilled plety of holes in the top drum to spread the heat around and to make sure that the drums heat up and keep the oil nice and hot,i put a dirty rag and some cold oil in the bottom, light the rag then put the drums together then i offer it up from the bottom and then i have a catch to keep it held up tightly,
i let it burn for about 2 minutes and take a look down the airhole at the top , as soon as i see its taken hold i switch on the air and open the oil tap, and away she goes, roars away,
when it goes out i lower the clam shell and clean it out, but as it burns so hot i only get a fine dust in the bottom no hard crud,
really easy to keep it clean and all the hot stuff is kept well off the ground, im going to pump the oil in eventually so i can have greater control and i also need to move this heat round my workshop, it gets to 300 degrees c easily,
im going to make a shield around the fire and have a fan to blow the lovely warm air around, cheers for the motivation and others projects to take inspiration from
