A short clip of the heater before it was fully assembled whilst undergoing trials. Just to show a few details of the construction. More details here: spicrosoft.com

Hello Ozzirt,
Do you have a set of plans, cold shop, lots of waste oil!
@gman8622 I have left a private message on your home page with my contact details and answers to your questions.
I also have several other videos on YouTube showing the heater in use which might give you a few more ideas.
I’m just about to light it again as the morning is coming in cold here. It’s a great feeling to know that you can keep warm for a few cents a day (Oil collection costs)
I would like to get a hold of a set of plans for your waste oil burner. Looks like a real nice set-up, do you have a website or address? Thanks Great job on burner!!
I have left private message on your Profile page with my email address.
Cheers,
Spike.
I think this a great heater, Ive built one and am having some tuning problems. not enough heat, very little to no smoke. please help. Im also not exactlt sure how to contact you, I hope this works. thank you in advance
I video responded my first test of my spike-inspired waste oil heater if you care to take a look. I’m pretty sure I need more holes in that secondary burner to get it burning hotter and cleaner. I’m using 1/4″ holes but those might be too small for how few of them there are. I had it burning really clean earlier but it wasn’t very hot so more air holes seems like the answer.
Thanks again for the help!
Please visit the link in the description.
Thereare a couple of drawings and a few photos plus a contact page there where I will be more than happy to help you in any way that I can.

Ozzirt, I’m technical, and read everything in your video’s. I’m not 100% sure of the internal design. Do you have any sketches of the construction? I would love to build one.
So does that secondary burner protrude down into the camp oven so that the base of it is about 4″ above the surface of the burning/vaporizing oil then?
Thanks for the replies. Hopefully I’m not pestering you with questions that you’ve already answered.
Hi ozzirt , i was wondering if i could have some plans to mate , i have got a closed in hay shed with a gym in it and in winter its cold as , i have got a big steel tank ready to go , thanks Leroy

Hi ozzirt!
What a wonderful burner you have made!
im in the uk currently my first attempt has failed & doesn’t burn neatly like yours! I was wondering if you had the time to guide me in the right direction? i would love to have one built similar to yours!
Many thanks
Matthew
Ps what parts are you from? i have spent some time in cairns, brisbane, sydney etc
A small proportion of it burns in the pan and the airflow from six downward facing inlets blows the flames across the surface of the oil. Most of the resulting hot vapour rises and is mixed violently with air entering the secondary burner tube maintaining the main flame.
This two stage burning consumes the excess carbon and provides nearly all of the heat. The oil in the pan cooks at a relatively low temperature and this leaves any heavy metals and other contaminants imprisoned in the ash.
Does most of the oil vapor burn in the pan, or does it continue to burn further up in the heat exchanger?
In any event, nice work, I’m on my way to building an aluminum casting furnace using waste oil (I hope)
Yes, that is what I have used. Camp ovens are great because being cast iron they do not burnout easily or warp when hot.
Mine is 12 years old and still as good as new.
I have left a message on your home page.
This is the kind of heater i’ve been trying to find plans to build for ages. Could you send plans for it. Many thanks
AWESOME!!!
4 the burning unit could i use cast iron
camp stove ?
that looks great would love the plans if possible to make one of them
cheers
