acoop101 Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I was wondering if anyone uses waste oil burners. I built one to run my casting foundry and was wondering if anyone has set up one of these burners in a black smith shop. I know it gets hot enough, (found that out when I melted my steel crucible full of metal what a mess:p) but wanted an opinon on practicality. Quote
keykeeper Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I think member Archie Zietman had a thread on here about his. Use the search feature to find it. On second thought, here it is http://www.iforgeiron.com/forum/f7/wvo-forge-run-4518/ Next search is on you, it's easy and will yield a wealth of info if you use it! Also, clue us in to your location by clicking on the user CP and putting one in, helps to find other smiths close to you. Quote
welder19 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Not yet, I have a couple burners but haven't built a forge to accomodate one yet, but it is on the list. welder19 Quote
acoop101 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Posted February 28, 2008 Welder19 are you one in the same as the welder19 over at backyardmetalcasting.com? Quote
welder19 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Yes sir, one and the same, I thought I recognized your name, welcome to IFI. welder19 Quote
Johannes Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I'm interested in the subject, but I have no experience in the matter. but I was wondering, what about fumes in an wast oil burner.. wouldn't those be kind of toxic? Quote
matt87 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 If you burn veggie oil, no more so than propane (CO and CO2). Used motor oil etc. often contains small amounts of heavy metals, so all approriate safety precautions should be used (the best being not to do it ). Quote
