I built this shop heater because it was getting cold. A few people saw it and asked if I would be willing to draw up plans for them to buy. The thing works so good I've decided to sell the plans. It is built using very commonly available materials, many of which I found in other peoples trash. I put a lot of work into making these plans easy to read and to be understand by anyone. This heater works very well and there are no filters to change or fuel nozzles to clog. It burns extremely clean with absolutely no smoke.. So here it is,

A customer who purchased the plans built the burner part of it and posted a video to show off the flame produced. This was his first test.

Transform a 55 gallon drum & 100# propane tank into Free Heat from a Zero Smoke Waste Oil Heater you can build in about 2 weeks.

Interesting! I realize you don't want to give too many details as you want to sell the plans, but is the "base" the fuel tank? I've contemplated building the Mother Earth News waste oil heater, but this seems to have some advantages.

The mother earth heater is a pot burner.. They are dirty devices that pollute.

Yes, the base is a fuel tank. The entire heater was made from garbage and I got the tank free. It was a hydraulic tank to a dump truck. It has a big dent in the back side. The plans show you how to use any tank you want. Mine is 50 gallons or so.

That was one of the issues that always kept me from going any further with it... Sort of funny that a magazine for "tree huggers" would condone such a thing... :)
