Roospike said:I just have a thing aginst stoves made with 55 gallon drums , maybe its just me.
Not to take away from the idea behind the product but builders need to stay from the drum.

UncleRich said:I know of two woodworking shops and two auto shops heated with WOB's. They are relatively conventional looking and provide good heat. This thing scares me. Looks like a real Rube-Goldberg unit. I think the demo of the burner was shown earlier on the forum. I certainly don't think my insurance would allow this even on site, let alone operating. They are funny that way.

I'd love to ask "Where did you get this idea"???
"Just something I thought of when the lights were off and the TV was busted..."
I got a funny feeling I don't need to "buy the plans" for it...I'll just wait until one of my neighbors (on the other side of town) builds one, test fires it....and it lands in my backyard.
"ohh...you don't like my stove...I got just the thing to put in next week..."
Only on the internet...
Perhaps someone should go over to "churning-issues", post the link and ask "G-D" if this is an "eco friendly" heating alternative???
Highbeam said:I think this is great that Murphy came here and added to the discussion.
I hate to pay for plans for things like this. There are other waste oil burners on the net which do not require me to purchase plans. Arguably just as good at burning waste oils. Why should I pay money for these plans?
I sure would like access to the design details for Murphy's burner. Just to know how it works and why it is so much better that we should pay for the idea. Something for nothing? You bet.
Gooserider said:Welcome to the forums Murphy, it is nice to see if my guesses are correct on this ... Was I correct in my earlier guess that part of the design as shown was for the "robot look", but that it's fairly modular and it would have been possible to set the parts up a bit differently so that it looked more "normal"?
From what you were saying, I take it that you are using something sort of like an oil burner jet for the fuel combustion?
