    I made a great furnace using working oil!!! An additional advantage is that it is adapted to burning solid fuel (coal, wood, waste). It can be burned alternately. No smoke with used oil! only hot air above the chimney. Zero ecological threat. Clean burning. It burns like a blowtorch.
    For those interested, a detailed description and possibly simple sketches.

    It is also worth adding that oil has a high calorific value.
