yes a barrel would work fine if its in good shape and doesn't leak.  if its an open top barrel even better.   I have a bunch of 5 gallon buckets with questionable stuff in them but if you solo cup off the top its fine.

still cranking  shop was 60 tonight- with about 28 outside, ill take it. 

new coleman air pump came in thats a little more CFM that i need to build an adaptor for.  I can tell im losing a little heat through the exhaust fan even with the damper jammed shut with a 2x6.

o man.  had an event today!  i did something dumb.  and she blew!   blew shit all the way to my lathe across the shop.  sounded about like a 12 gage where i was standing right next to it!   blew stove door open, blew my clean out hatch in upper drum open, and blew the stack apart in two places like a banana.  flame went out while i was adjusting stuff, i dumped in more kero, and stove must have filled with oil / kero vapor, and it blew when i turned air back on.   

security camera footage is excellent. 
haven't figured out how to get video off my security drive site though, so phone to monitor lol

ya, i had it back up and running in a half hour.  turned on the shop exhaust fan and shoveled out some soot, decided to clean out the upper drum again and inspect since my inspection cover was blown off lol

couple zip screws and some new foil tape with the scissors lift, all good.


i am down to my last 5 gals of oil so need more!

whole problem was caused by the oil line was plugged/running slow and over flowing the funnel, so i was trying to clean it and unplug while the stove was hot.  flooded the burn chamber with oil, should have let it cool down before re lighting.  bah.

beyond my better judgment drove out to Ontario to pick up 7 drums of WMO

got home, found 4 drums of clean used solvent, 1 drum rock solid ice, 1 drum full of WMO and 1 drum 2/3 of WMO with 10" ice block at bottom. 


Meh.  bad at this game.


ran a test burn of 50/50 solvent/WMO and seems to burn fine.  research says the fluid is Kensol 30, a mineral spirits or stoddard solvent like i use to use to test injectors lol

ordered another one with 120 CFM and rated at higher static pressure.  the wheel blowers really suck with any back pressure.
