Waste oil in a wood stove????

I have been heating the shop for the last couple of winters with a large home made double barrell wood stove. The thing rocks, and actually heats my shop much better than my $600.00 a month gas bill reznor furnace. I probably have 150 gallons of waste oil in storage right now, and was wondering if i could drip it into the wood furnace. Has anyone ever tried this before??. I had a homemade waste oil furnace that was a drip style, but was a little too dangerous, ( I was afraid to leave it unattened, ) dependin on the oil flow sometimes, it would get really hot , glow orange, and nearly melt down if I didnt manually monitor the oil flow. I was thinking a nice slow oil drip right into the fire pit, to help heat the upper barrel. Any advice or suggestions welcome. Thanks
