The price of Coal !!!Waste oil heaters

[sidewaysreilly]

Was up in Norn Iron this week and a lad on The Red Bay Crew sells Coal so i filled the van. 6 25 kg bags of coal and 3 of slack for £60. He threw a bag of logs in too.

Not bad at all, I assume it was smokeless coal or are you outside of the area??

Don't have an open fire in my house as I put in a Gas one years ago, the way things are going I might just take it out again

[sidewaysreilly]

no she was the good stuff, loads of smoke to annoy the gulls!!!

You could also throw a few bags into the 5 heading south, they'd pay for a good weekend

A mate of mine has developed one of them. He uses, in his workshop,a standard household burner unit attached to an old gas cylinder(You know the big red ones). A section of piping is attached and runs out through a hole in the wall and there's not a sign of black smoke from it at all. The secret, apparently, is to get the unit running on standard kerosene first and then gradually feed in the waste oil, a bit of a balancing act at first but once it's up to temperature..WOW, it glows red hot!! He's a mechanic and has no shortage of waste oil to put into the tank. Wisely, he has installed a cage around it because it would do some serious damage if you were to come into contact with it.

yeah thats the plan and ill use a coil around it and pass it thro a marine heat exchanger into the house system. Here is the one you are on about:

[leamyj]

Cool, I'll pass that on to him, he might be able to make me one!!!!

[sidewaysreilly]

you could do it yourself very easily and if i do start, ill make a few if people want them.It will be easier to make a few and quicker. If a few of us get our heads together to accuire the bits it will be easy. Just be nice to your local chippy for free oil.
