I know someone who had a log burner in his garage, the garage was separate from the house. He used to put old oil filters etc on it, had it on one day and poped into the house, when he came back out the garage was up in flames and most of the bikes were all on axle stands so he couldn't get them out. lost 8 bikes I think, some were expensive classic ducatis I've braved the cold this weekend and got my engine back in the SB200, was in the garage until 11.30pm last night - lost track of time Fired it up today and had a miss fire on the left cylinder, after doing a compression test, checking carbs etc traced it back to a faulty coil (tried a spare SD one on it it ran on both cylinders)

I have saw some pot bellied stoves built out of trailer brake drums, 3 drums makes up most of it, it sort of looks like an egg cup sitting on a square metal plate. I'd be very careful of burning waste oil though, I have hears horror stories of the black stuff catching fire and running all over the place.

Yes sounds a bit dodgy, not sure how house insurance and bike insurance would fare?

Gotta be careful with oil. I've made a preheated oil feed on this one, its really useful for getting the fire going or for an instant blast but I wouldn't dream of leaving it unattended. The problem is when you don't know exactly where the waste oil has come from. Used oil can contain petrol etc which could properly ruin your day if you drip it into a fire.

I had never thought of that, people use petrol for cleaning then could possibly dispose of it in a waste oil drum. Petrol is dodgy stuff, even the vapour from it can ignite from a flame quite a distance away and bring the flame back to the liquid petrol.
