I built one of those mother earth furnaces about 7-8 years ago. It did throw some serious heat, but again gravity feed was a pain in the ass. It took 25 minutes to light it, then , it would barely run when it was cold, but once the thing started heating up , it would run like a mother and make my heat exchanger glow. It was fine as long as you were near it, and wanting to constantly tinker, and adjust the oil flow all day. I am wanting to just drip oil in my wood burner. It really throws some heat when I do this, and i am always sitting on a hundred gallons or so of drain oil, so it only makes sense. I am just looking to make the thing a little more automatic, If I run an electric pump, I can even add a thermal switch for an extra safety measure.
