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.

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.

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...

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)

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

people who burn veg oil are kooks

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

I like this, can you send me more links

such a nice idea! thanks for posting

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.
