- Wood stove. (something airtight stove with a secondary burn is recommended)
- Black iron pipe (a 2′ piece of 1.5″ )
- Don't have a welder, then one end of the pipe will need to be threaded and a black iron 45 will need to be used with a short 1.5″ black iron nipple
- Soft copper tubing 4′ of 3/8″
- ID clear nylon tubing length of 3/8″ ID clear nylon tubing however long you need it to get from your fuel source to the copper tubing
- 1/8″ brass ball valve with a male pipe thread on one end and a 2″x3/8″ brass nipple
- A blower of some type that will insert tightly into the 1.5″ black iron pipe, I used an old metal bodied heat gun I had kicking around that the heater elements had burned up in
- 5-gallon pail that will get hung well above the stove for a fuel tank, remember this is a gravity feed burner
- 2″ hole saw
- 1/4″ x 20 thread nuts and bolts about 2″ long
- -a couple of fire bricks, these can be bought at Lowes or Home Depot for a few bucks each
Now that we have all of our materials gathered let's look at what it takes to build it!
I cannot believe that it only took 3 hours to fully build this! Would you build something like this? Any tips or tricks that you know of to help the process? Let us know in the comments below!

if you live near a car scrap yard, you can drain desiel tanks and use that for furnise feul, and if you live near a mechanic’s garage with an oil recicling tank, you can filter out the oil as best you can and use that as well….
Pretty cool to see this here, I’m Jim from TheTradesmanChannel 2017 and I am the guy who built that project and the guy in the video. I appreciate the editors here sharing my project. Tomorrow night I’m putting up a video on lighting the stove, should have covered that in the above video.
I’ve been running that stove for almost two weeks now and I’ve only burnt about 14.5 gallons of oil heating my shop. It runs 14 to 16 hours strait on the weekends and about 6 hours a night all week long.
After using this I wouldn’t hesitate to build one for the house using an airtight stove.
If you folks like this one, stay tuned for the sawdust burner I’m working on right now, should have the first part of a series of videos on it out up this weekend.
Again, thank you folks here for sharing my project.

If it’s used motor oil, the waste chemicals and compounds, are serious pollutants, and burning will NOT fix that. In some cases it will make the toxic chemicals worse, and present them in the environment as gases and particulates.
