[QUOTE="stealthpirate, post: 172113, member: 199149"] Thanks for mentioning the Miners Gameboy Lad ;) My mate had a simple waste oil burner (waste oil is free, garages can't give it away (they have to pay to get it taken away), the idea was so simple your amazed when you see it! all you need is an old cylinder (propane bottle will do, old compressor tank best!) bit of a chop here and there weld a spring (old car spring) in the bottom have brake pipe dripping the oil onto the heated spring (got going with a fire lighter!) and as long as the oil drips onto the spring, it produces heat (a lot!) sounds unbelievable, but I've seen it work!, only downfall is it chucked a load of oily soot out of the flue!!! Though we've seen a new design that combats this.... if he can get it working better he's going to heat the house with it (it'll be plumbed in to the rads from an external building) [/QUOTE]
