workshop heating system

[PaulJL]

Thinking of a tube into it like a pan handle shape. Lighting it was easy, I dropped a couple of lighter blocks and a aerosol lid of paraffin, when the paraffin started fizzing I put two lids full of oil in. Burned for 20mins.when its in the stove it will have a drip feed oil supply so once it's lit it should keep going until the oil is switched off

Got my plumbing ordered including a length of stainless steel pipe for the drip feed. Found a suitable tank too

 

[PaulJL]

Plumbing stuff turned up within 24 hours! Toolstation are ace! Free postage too.

Had a play today, fitted some swirl plates which do exactly as they say on the tin.
Found a suitable oil tank too.....

 

[PaulJL]

Had to retest it too

 

[PaulJL]

All plumbed in.

Hopefully getting the flu up tomorrow if the weather is dry... Don't fancy cutting holes in the roof in the rain.

 

[PaulJL]

Done. Bloody hell it's warm in there now!

 

[PaulJL]

The first picpis the flue temperature, the second is the blown air temperature.... The third is what the others are....

Success
I wouldn't bother with a smoke alarm

Nice work ☺

 

[PaulJL]

Had a a play tonight, managed to get the blown air temperature up to 250°C!

 

[Panky]

Bloody hell it's going to melt

Wow. If you had a small tank and coiled copper tube round blower pipe you can have tea?

I have a camping kettle totsit on the hot plate

 

[PaulJL]

By the time I upgrade the fan and fit the ducting the outlet temperature at the end of the ducting will be lower...

Now you need to make a small one that would blow warm air into a camper. Then sit round it in the evening to keep warm and have a nice toasty camper when it’s bed time

Now that's a cracking idea

 

[PaulJL]

Got it to 300 degrees C and got the stove glowing!

You've going to need one of these. And it's made from asbestos so what could possibly go wrong. Whoops
