oil needs more oxygen to burn that does wood or wood pellets it will burn in an unmodified stove but it WILL burn dirty. you need to add a blower and cement or heavy steel chamber to burn the oil inside of. when it's burning correctly you will have a white hot flame and the burn chamber steel or fire brick will glow.
That looks like a cool idea, but it seems to me that if you modify something and make it burn fuel that it wasnt intended to, you could be asking for trouble and not know it . But it is tempting to try lol
One gallon of vegetable oil only lasts me about two to four hours. It is adjustable on all my burners. Be sure to see the corn stove pipe burner video, I have been working it lately. I also Hope to make a new video on the latest pipe burner before long.
Hi I am pondering how to convert my woodstove into a waste-oil assist. Any ideas?? Will it bung up my flu. It is a bigger, older sorta air-tight stove with a 10 inch flu. Thanx Any help is appreciated.
this seems like a good idea. what happens when the fire goes out will the oil stop pumping? can you send me that link we pay people a lot of money to pick up our old cooking oil. do you filter the oil? does it leave a lot of residue??? thanks for posting this
Pellet stoves automaticly shut down if the fire goes out. If you wire the aquarium air pump in parallel with the exaust fan, it will shut off the oil drip with the stove. I am using my stove again this year and hope to refine things some, also bought a new corn stove for the living room...
Great idea! I use wood at the moment to help heat my home 1000 sq. ft. I am converting to a pellet stove and this will an added feature for sure.Great post, kinda stuff 'youtube' needs more of.
If you Google for 'wastewatts' you'll find a link for the Yahoo group, Wastewatts. Go there, leave a message saying you have free oil to uptake and you will have lots of eager takers.
Its burning too rich. Your gonna build up a greasy pitch-like film in the pipe with that lazy flame even have a flu fire. Reconmend you up the combustion air via the potentiometer turn pot (middle adjustment on your older style whitfield control canel-or potentiometer adjustment to the top right if you have the digital touch pad panel)
I use a steel tray, cut from a propane gas bottle. It is positioned to slope slightly into the burning pellets. The oil is heated by the fire of the pellets, so is the grate holding the embers and the chamber bellow where air is introduced. The oil should burn right away on the drip tray, but some will still drip into the gate and be vaporized and burn clean and hot.
Does the oil drip onto the same plate that the pellets are fed onto or is there a different plate for the oil? If it is the same plate, is it ok for the oil to drip on the embers of the pellets?
Well a fuel oil furnace can be converted but it is not easy. You can perhaps mix small amounts of filtered waste oil into the fuel oil. You can purchase a waste oil furnace or boiler. This idea is for DIY types willing to put a little hands on time into it.
Well thats what the bubbler does, it pumps the waste Vegetable oil up and onto the hot drip plate. The air pump uses a little electricity but pumps a constant amount of air through a tube, starting under the oil level in the oil tank. The air bubles in the oil and forces oil to flow up through a copper tube into the combustion area of the pellet stove, resulting in a constant flow of oil onto the hot drip plate.
Well its not easy to turn trees into good pellets, but corn is a great natural fuel pellet. Last year I Couldn't get wood pellets, so I learned I could buy corn just as cheap. I also started my Waste Vegtable Oil Conversion, so I wouldn't have to pay for much pellet fuel. Since Waste Oil is easy to get for free and can be burned once the stove is hot, you don't need many pellets. If you can't get free WVO, perhaps you could press your own oil from soybeans,peanuts,corn...
Interesting solution, but it works! Nice job! Congratulation! :)

There is lots of information on the web, one source I reccomend is yahoo groups.
wastewatts is probably the best general group.
I can send you a few links if you message me with your email address.

Thanks I'll try that, I have the newer controller with the touch pad now.

See my video "Air Gas or Steam Lift Pump"
the plastic air line is the copper 1/4" tube since I use steam to lift the oil once it heats up in my new outside Babington waste oil burner.
jommy99 4 years ago
Thanks for that tip. Another question I had, is the plastic hose of the bubbler connected to the copper pipe in the oil?

Hi there, Thank you for posting this clip. Could you please send me the link for free heat? hardyfamilynz at gmail
If you could also send my some plans/pics to modify my pellet fire to work on waste oil

Interesting. But for people looking into new equipment, why not just use an old second-hand fuel/oil stove ?

Wood pellets eh? Why I didnt think of that! I don't have to buy coal or anthracite then coz my farm has trees!
