[TheForge] Fw: Waste Oil heater

Wed Apr 30 03:51:01 2003

The waste oil burners I've fooled with were of  2 types.
One sprayed the oil ,preferably heated, under pressure into the 
airstream which went  into the initial firebox.
The other  dripped oil  infront of the blower outlet , into the upper 
end of  a gently  sloped , 6" well casing.  There was a  2" dam across 
the bottom of the casing which ended in the initial firebox. The well 
casing got a little shorter each firing.
Both started on lighter fuel.
House oil-furnace burners look  a lot like a ready made  to this 
pyromaniac's eye
I found that once the preheat was done, a real rude set up worked.
If you see a lot of  thick,heavy brown smoke filling up your forge.... 
don't turn on the blower, instead...........run like hell!           Pete

Thanks all for the Hoffi Hammer fill in.
