Mother Earth: Waste Oil Heater
I think this will be what your looking for Andy :D
I have all the bits here to build one of these. Bit of work in it and must be air tight or wont work. Also have to come up with a good way of controlling oil flow as it heats up or they go off out of control:eek: Have to preheat the oil with the flue or they smoke like a coal burner. The hotter the oil the thinner it gets the faster it flows the oil gets hotter and you get the idea.:eek:Quote:

I think this one is better: Roger Sanders' Waste Oil HeaterQuote:

The Sanders heater + a large wood heater. (Two washing machines) One each side of the shed would be good.:)Quote:

You want an old hot water system? I may have two here somewhere:eek: I'm not sure if they're steel or copper yet. One was made in the late 40's and the other in the mid 60's.Quote:

I was going to try a 60 litre drum. I keep an eye on eVilBay for old heaters but none that are close by.
I've bought the chimney off EvilBay.
Central NSW is a tad far! - but thanks anyway.
My next door neighbour is pulling out his wood fire this summer. I wonder.....
Feel like a drive up the hill tomorrow?Quote:
