Thanks for replying to my question.

I have one more for you,

what size is your primary burner and the secondary burners?

Thanks again.

Hi, the primary burner is just a standard size camp oven pot and lid, The secondary burner is a cylinder liner from a Cummins engine with an outside diameter of about 150mm. Thanks

Very nice job. How do you pump your oil to your burner?

Hi, the oil is pumped from the main storage tank into a header tank using a car power steering pump which is run by a small electric motor and set on a timer. From there the oil is gravity fed from the header tank to the burner in the house. Thanks

What diameter holes / spacing are in the cylinder liner? Thanks!

[uopminvest]

Hi, I have the heater packed away at the moment as I have moved house and not currently using it. From memory, the holes are spaced approximately 10mm apart and there's about 520 of them. The hole size is 1.95mm. Thanks for you interest.

@washers58 No, they slide together if you select the ones with the right edges. The pan is a cast iron "Camp oven"
