Rig is easy to make. I burn either wood or used veggie oil in the arch. Burns clean. No smoke. No soot. No smell and environmentally friendly. All the bits of French fries get filtered out and tossed to the chickens. If I happen to spill a bit of my fuel the dog licks it up. 1 drop of my fuel keeps the syrup from boiling up. Saves my back from not stoking the fire every 7 minutes. I get 2.5 hours continuous burn per tank. There is a 1 inch steel plate in there that acts like a glow plug. Tanks take 30 seconds to switch over. The glow plate will ignite the fuel up to 5 minutes.
Lots of people doubt the efficiency. So here it is. Plans and specs are free and open source. Im happy to share as long as you don't hit up my local restaurants for their waste veggie oil.
