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. Inquiries by e-mail tadeuszslominski(_at_)wp.pl Regards

I will add my 5 gr to the topic.... Times are changing and IOs have hit the dill too.
If anyone would be interested in a cooker controller managed from anywhere with internet access,
then in addition to remote firing of the furnace for used oil (with glow plug optionally injection system), control the operation of the fuel and water feed pumps and control the speed of the fans manually or automatically, or send an SMS about the end of the oil in the tank and whatever else you want
It is possible to fire up the cooker at a chosen time and maintain the set temperature, working with the thermostat option.
You can also go further and monitor the flue gas values (temp, CO₂, dust, NOx, NH₃, H₂S) in real time - just why overpay....
The controller supports:
- dS temp sensors x8 pcs.
- digital INPD e.g. liquid level x4 pcs.
- analogue INPA sensors x6 pcs.
- pWM speed control x4 pcs 12 V DC or 230 V AC voltage
- relay control x6 pcs.
- outdoor weather station T1 P1 H1
- built-in time clock x40 records
- built-in programmer of complex events x20 records
- sMS notification and control option - SMS modem
- remote configuration and user support option
- universal suitable for any class of cooker
The discussion revolves around the feasibility of converting a German fuel oil furnace to operate on waste oil for garage heating. Users share experiences and methods, suggesting that it is possible to use waste oil if it is added from the top to avoid clogging. Various designs are mentioned, including a system where oil drips onto a heated plate, and the importance of maintaining proper combustion to minimize smoke emissions. Concerns about ecological impact and legal implications of using waste oil are raised, alongside technical inquiries about burner construction and efficiency improvements. Some participants describe successful homemade solutions and modifications to existing stoves, emphasizing the need for careful design to ensure safety and efficiency.
