Yes, for sure, looks good.  Makes me wish I could weld.  Did you follow some plans to make your heater?

hi,
i never followed any plans,just looked at a few on you tube and just went for it,lol.
i have done a few mods since i made it.
i started with a lorry fuel tank to store oil and piped it to the heater.i have now just fitted a 20ltr tank at the side of heater so i have less pipeing in case it clogs up.
the problem i am having is controling the oil flow,im using a ball valve at the moment.
will try and locate a needle valve and see if that helps.

How big of an area are you heating and what kinds of temps are you achieving?

Man that's a sweet looking fire in the bottom of that thing! Do you mind sharing your burner construction?
