Eric I want to use it as a supplement to my regular heating system, no costs or very little recycling used oil. I'm looking for two things get rid of used oil and not having the gas furnace come on that cost's me $$$$

 

i think i will install a gravity feed drip line in my barrel stove, is there betterburning with regular oil or synthetic? i have lots of used synthetic unfortunatly.

 

Old thread, but still somewhat valid. Synthetic burns poorly from what I've heard, it needs a much higher temp to ignite.

 

Just a word of caution. We had a plain wood stove sitting outside at hunting camp. When retiring for the night, fed it with a drip line from an oil drum. Unburnt oil would collect in the ashes and heated. Favorite prank was to get a younger guy to stoke it in the morning and fill with wood. Open door, stir ashes and oil would ignite(moderate explosion), singeing eyebrows, shooting fire over 50ft in the air and turning the stove pipe cherry red. I NEVER would do this indoors!
