I just got off an intense weekend in the shop with the stove running pretty much non-stop. Totally amazed at how well this system works and how long and the hot fires will burn now. I went through way less wood and it was much easier to start the fires, too. If you are thinking about doing this, don't wait!

We used to do this with a barrel stove also. The oil tank was a 5gal bucket with the top cut out. This made pouring the used oil in the tank pretty easy from a drain pan. We would put the biggest stick of wood we could find or fit into the stove and let the oil drip onto it. One stick of wood would last a couple of days. I dont remember much ash, altho I am sure there was some. I guess when burning mostly oil there shouldnt be much ash to dispose of.

heck all u were doing was buringing oil with a wood wick!
