    Default Waste Oil Heater

    Got to Googling the subject and was wondering if anyone knows anything about them, does anyone use one, and maybe some plans on how to build one.

    I did find this

    Had one in the shop back east. I know a few business that use them and save big time. Down side is, residential use and potential issues from Code Enforcement.

    There is a wranglerstar video where he shows his double barrel wood stove that he runs a drip line of waste oil into to increase the heat. Not exactly what you are asking about.

    The gas station needed to get rid of used oil.
    Installed an oil heater in the shop.
    Shop is warm when I walk into it.

    Any oil you locate in a SHTF scenario, will be used for other needs. Besides burning WO will give your position away, for miles around you. Small footprint heating may not keep you toasty warm, but It could keep you alive, longer.
