[AT] Waste oil burner

[Ed Stewart]

I built one a long time ago to heat a workshop just when I was in it 
doing something in there, I had an old Ashley woodburner with a feed 
tube maybe an inch long in the center top of the stove, it dripped into 
a 10 inch old iron frying pan in the center of the bottom, would put an 
old piece of rag into the pan let the oil run in with the feed valve 
open for a little bit and then turn the valve to a drip and light the 
rag. you had to adjust the air control on the stove till all was right, 
when the pan got good and hot it burned great all day.. Got the plan out 
of an old copy of the Mother earth news. Ed
