Here I m making a garage heater to keep the rubbish at bay and the chill out of air . Used a old water tank must connect up the flue out through the wall .

Seemingly you can't be done for burning rubbish if the smoke comes out a chimney.
Carry on!

How will you take the ashes out? Ash vac or scoop out?

Amazing what some people throw put. Neighbour of mine works for a multinational medical devices company. About 3 years ago they had an FDA Audit and underwent some restructuring. He heard that the stores were doing a spring clean and that there might be something handy being thrown in the skips. We went up with a 8x4 trailer one morning when factory was on go slow during holidays. In the yard they had 3 skips filling.
It would make you cry to see some of the stuff they were dumping. Full rolls of air hose, piping and pipe fitting of every description. Linbins still unwrapped, workstation seats. Sheets of various metals and plastics. A hoarders paradise. We had a nice haul of stuff coming home. Only thing that stopped us going back was the CCTV.

Same here when a few of the barracks were closing. If it was in the skip it was fair game

Bottom has opening roughly about 8 inch bolted to hold in bag and vented from inlet pipe pic to follow.

Came across this waste oil burner on you tube, ~~I like the way he used a pyrex dish from the OH kitchen.

I know, large companies with redtape etc can't sell on stuff, so it all goes in the skip. No joking but I have kitted out a whole workshop from dumped stuff. Best of all was a large tool cabinet with keys. Two of us could just about lift it. The brother got the pick of two of them and the second one was for me, if I would go collect them with the 4X4 and trailer. 'No problem' - says I.:D

Actually burning rubbish is illegal full stop, chimney or not, this was changed to rule out chimney type burners in the last review..

Who has pictures of the Solid Fuel stove built from the transmission case of a Fordson Major? Saw it somewhere on the web a couple of years ago.

thinking maybe airline to boost airflow to start it off

Nekarsulm · 16-01-2015 04:17PM

Would one of those small 220v extractor fans deliver enough airflow to do the job? They run fairly quietly as well.

jerdee · 16-01-2015 04:28PM

I seen the heat generated ones that they put on stoves to kick out the heat.i think only for starting it should be good enough&#55356;&#57211;

Thanks for the heads up, I have been burning loads of household rubbish and some silage wrap in an old outhouse with a chimney. Thought you were in the clear if you had a chimney.

Muckit · 16-01-2015 04:55PM

Could you burn money? You know if you were making it hand over fist at summer grazing and we were tripping over it??

We have a hay feeder for calves that looks like your pic. Although our one was made many years ago as a sheep feeder from tines from an old horse drawn hay rake.

Base price · 18-01-2015 01:40AM

Happened to call to a man who is very experienced in all types of welding a weeks ago to get a price to repair the hanging brackets on a few 12 teat milk feeders.
He had a stove/burner throwing out some serious heat into his workshop.
It was a cylinder thingie about 2' tall x 8/10" diameter with lots of small holes drilled for air vents and a flue out the back near the top.
It is fuelled from waste oil that he collects from changing the car/jeep/tractors that he and his family have.

Longford.
I will take some photo's when I am there next time. Seems to be a simple enough system. Oil flows into the bottom by gravity. He lights it with a small bit of oily rag or paper.

We have the very same thing in the workshop. He bought it just like us

Great idea. There are still some of those rakes stuck under hedges. Thinking about making a stronger one to take a silage bale. Hard to bend the curved bars evenly, be even harder with a heavier bar. Have to consider how to let the bale in gently. When you cut the netting a chopped bale falls asunder.

Bit of guntering at the kitchen table. Replaced the cracked screen on phone.

I got a new phone lately and your man in the shop gave me tempered glass that sticks onto the screen and is unbreakable. He was stabbing his to show how good it was . Could be worth getting as it's only €20 .
Now in saying that mine broke after a couple of days in my pocket but he reckoned it was a faulty one and told me to call in for a replacement!

foxy farmer · 18-01-2015 08:53PM

The outer glass is cracked on mine with 4 months. Ordered one before early Dec but got email Xmas eve saying it had been returned undelivered. Got one delivered last Thursday. Must track down hair dryer to heat screen. Have seen youtube vids but some say it doesn't always work after refitting. Was quoted 200 to replace it back in September. Feck that.
