Just curious as to how many of you had ever set up an oil drip type heater and what secrets you used to make it work. Currently I"ve got a big square stove that is about 3x3x3 built out of 5/16 plate with sch80 tubes running through the top of it with a blower manifold in the rear feeding them. It heats great with wood but that also means having to constantly feed it to keep the heat up. Over the years I"ve tried a couple of ideas with it trying to get it to work on the "drip oil" principle without any real luck. So far I"ve tried letting it drip in a bed of sand, to letting it drip onto the bare brick, to letting the drip go onto a "puddle" of water along with a water drip to make up for the flash off. I"ve heard all these things from one source or another as being workable ways to set one of these set up and that all worked pretty good. For me each worked somewhat but unfortunately I haven"t had any real luck with any of them working like I"ve heard they do. Problem is I"ve just heard about the setups but never actually seen one so I don"t know whether it was the actual setup type or just an improper execution of said setup. Any tips, pointers, etc would be greatly appreciated as I have alot of oil to utilize for this purpose and insufficient funds at the moment to either build or buy an actual waste oil heater. Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
