That’s great, just don’t go overboard with the extra holes.
Drill them small and enlarge them as you need to, as excess air only cools your flue gasses and destroys your draft.
Another video clip or some photos would be really great if you get time. I really like to see how different people go about getting their heaters going with what materials they have available.
Stay warm!!

I got mine going and burning hot! Thanks for the help Spike! It still coughs a bit here and there but I think I just need a few more holes drilled in that secondary burner.
You are officially …
You are officially my new hero. I’ve already built a basic waste oil burner based (very rouchly) on your design, but at present it’s rather inefficient and hideous to look at. I used an old tractor rim I cut in half and some steel pipe I commandeered and drilled without a template. When I do get it fully operational I’ll be sure to send you a picture of it heating my shop in the miserable Canadian winter! Thank you for the inspiration!
I love it. I just …
I love it. I just built an oil heater and it gets the place plenty warm in a hurry but I can’t get it to burn clean. It looks like a wood burning stove with the damper on. What’s the secret? I’ll email you the link to the heater I built. Thanks!

Hi,
A set of rough drawings and an explanation are able to be downloaded FREE at the Link quoted in the “Information” under the video clips title.
There is also a Contact page there , where you can contact me directly for any additional help.
This Link is also at the end of the Clip.

do you sell plans? I would like to build a heater like this one.. Very nice!!
I have no actual …
I have no actual heat distribution system, and really need a fan forced air duct into the front of the house. But even without this, I get enough natural recirculation.
So far, this has been good enough to discourage me from climbing into the ceiling to install it. Of course it must be realised that our winters are not as cold or long as those in Europe or the USA. Conversely our houses are not really insulated either.
Nice setup, How do …
Nice setup, How do you get the heat to circulate through out the hole house?
I find that the …
I find that the primary burner pan should be cleaned out daily,… I have known it to go for three days, but I always clean it out daily where possible, as the ash/soot is much easier to remove.
Good video, looks …

Is there any chance i can send you an email with how far i have progressed so far, and my results.
They are variable to say the least but promising never the less.

It does work, although it will possibly need higher fuel consumption than I use here in Australia.
My usage is 1.25 litres per hour, the one being used in a machine shop in England uses up to 5 litres per hour in mid winter.
As YouTube do not allow the posting of links in these comments. I have added an annotation to the last 30 seconds of the Video clip to link to the plans.
This page is only a few hours old and will be added to and improved, as time and information becomes available.

Steve, I have no plans of the dripper, because it is “just that”, a pipe dripping oil into the pan through a simple mechanism that allows me to open a slot so that the pan can be removed by sliding it forward.
I’ve left you a PM on your home page.

how/where can I get plans for this? especially the oil dripper assembly, the rest is pretty well described in the pic on photobucket (followed a link)… I need to build one soon! winter is coming! THANKS!
Not sure how oil supply and adjust lever works
