Thank you sir for your service! We keep the shop warm with this astronomical gas bill lmao. That's bad ass that you are 77 years old and still on the forums here, I like that, I hope to be your age and still involved with the car scene. Hope Texas is treating you well and thank you for the welcoming comments!

Take a look into making an oil fired heater from a used water heater.

It's a bit of maintenance, but burning free, used oil is... Free!

Never heard of such a thing that sounds wicked, I will have to google that and do some research, thanks for the tip! The gas bill really is ridiculous .. Lol

I made one of the waste oil heaters from an old water heater tank, and need to get it fired up again with a dedicated chimney. Look at the old Mother Earth News links for plans.

One of the guys here who is a Master Tinkerer and Restorer of All Things (Mike P) explained one time the details of his little converted wood burner to waste oil, including a storage tank and waste oil hauler so he could collect from some of the locals. I found one picture of the converted stove, but the details aren't in this thread, which covers his '30s' shop pieces & parts, many recovered from the family property - My 1930's Farm Shop

I expect if you ask Mike would point to the earlier explanation, or maybe do a new thread?
