Project Description:
Turk Burners are an interesting way to burn difficult fuels such as WVO (Waste Vegetable Oil) or WMO (Waste Motor Oil) in a rather low-tech application. The one I built here is not very efficient, but it did work. I imagine if you put more time and effort into your burner, you would be able to achieve much higher efficiencies than I did here. I was more or less just testing the concept to see if it worked at all. -It does!

Here's the small flame, trying desperately to burn that stubborn WVO. What a bunch of nasty stuff. But it's amazing the amount of BTU's it has if you can figure out how to efficiently burn the stuff. Best of all it's FREE FUEL!

My cheering section! It was too cute to not include this picture!

So back to my story... I had some filtered oil now and I wanted desperately to see how this stuff behaved. I thought for a while on how I could burn a small amount just to test its properties. I decided to stay away from an open flame test in my basement as I figured it would make a lot of smoke. The next obvious solution was my nice large wood stove that I have in my basement. It's a dual fuel furnace that runs on wood or coal on the one side and oil on the other side.

Finally after what seemed to be an eternity in this frigid windy weather; actually it was just about 10 or 15 minutes from initial lighting... things start to change! It went from nearly nothing to inferno in about 10 seconds. I guess the oil finally got up to its boiling temperature. From the tests that I did in my wood stove that seemed to be the temperature where things begin to happen.
