I am aware of backyard metal casting and his burner that he uses as the waste oil forge. I haven't seen any really good examples other than this one and so I was wondering if there is anything more in terms of concepts for the different types of WO burners. How do each of them work? I would like to do an in depth tutorial on making then and how they work and why they work once I get my own this summer, but as it is I would like to learn as much as I can before doing any sort of tutorial. Besides that I want to make a highly efficient burner that doesn't need propane, I understand this needs some form of atomization. So I figured I would make something to force the oil through an atomizer and cause it to be easy to lite. All help is appreciated.

My next oil burner is going to be based loosely on Ralph Dean's should be some food for thought there.

This thread seems to indicate that Colin Peck has a really good design in his book for cheaply building one yourself. It has no problem melting iron from what I've read.
