@jommy99 yeah, this is a great idea though.... Ive been saying for a few years now that they should burn corn oil for electricity since it contains no nutritional value(corn oil is all saturated fats)... we should be cooking with grapeseed oil or hemp oil since its high in omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids and is better for your brain.
And its better than burning leaves/wood cause they will produce nitrogen oxides which is bad for the environment since its a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2.
good addition to any coal or wood like fuel stove Heated fuel burns cleaner and hotter. even on it's own would be so do-able. you could even build one in an emegency from junk. I like it!!
It is not recommended that this be done and doing so will void any warranty and may also violate clean air laws in your area. The danger to your family is not worth few dollars you will save by burning used oil like this
FYI, for those interested in the Pellet stove, burning free waste vegetable oil, be sure to check out the new diagram. The new burner is a steam pipe burner and the diagram has been uploaded to my website link, actually Photobucket. I have no new video available but the fire burns cleaner and the low pressure steam keeps the burner much cleaner too. Makes the cleaning work less than burning just pellets and much easier to get running on wvo alobe, once waremd up too!
That's interesting. Did you design that yourself? I've never heard of using waste oil in a pellet/corn stove, although I think I saw an article recently about waste oil stoves themselves. What do you thinks gives off more heat? Does the oil increase the btu's? Good post.
Yes it is a burner I have been developing for pellet stoves. I have been working on waste oil burners in general for years now for outside uses. Using vegetable oil can increase the btus, however the intention is not to burn hotter. My newest revision will burn clean and safe on just waste vegetable oil, once it warms up. Less ash in the stove means less effort and now cleaning the burner is almost eliminated too!
very interesting! I'm not familiar with these stoves but am interested in recycling oil - I'd imagine that you could bypass going through the door by drilling a hole for your 1/4" tubing and sealing around it - good post
Yes you can drill a small hole to feed the tube, I did drill the older pellet stove I also converted. One thing about this burner is it does need frequent cleaning. It is easy to do, but the burner needs to be removed. I have added a quick disconnect, and now with the door open removal is a snap.
The Solenoid is wired in parallel with the auger motor, and they activate together. The solenoid valve is normally closed and opens on activation. Oil usage is about 1/4 gal or less an hour.
I have been working on a website to share Fire and Heater projects with controls.

I had a pellet burner when I lived up north, but it isn't pleasent when the power goes out.
Like the oil idea.
