From my previous RU-vid here:
• Smokess Kerosene Stove...
I attempted to fire up a stock / unmodified Kerosene Stove (Kusinilya de bomba) with stock #1 burner, (snaller that #2 that I used on above RU-vid link)
After few tries, I was able to achieve the proper way of firing it up without smoke and odor during pre-heating and during operations.
Here are the tips and procedurer:
1. Use the stove on a non windy but ventillated environment. Otherwise the burner will get cold and the flame will emit smoke and some unburned oil will also drip. Even a gentle breeze of wind affects the performance of the flame.
2. Always check the nozzle / nipple clog free.
3. Only use denatured alcohol on pre-heating.
4. On the previous RU-vid link above, I used 2 cotton balls and soak with Alcohol. Since the #1 burner is smaller, it requires 3 soaked cotton balls.
5. Using long metal tweezer, remove the unburned cotton balls on the pan below the burner. It affects the oxygen intake of the burner as they still emit some fumes. You can still use them on next pre-heating process.
6. Right after using the stove, clean the nozzle / nipple for the next use.
How to filter used cooking oil:
1. Put the used collected cooking oil on a transparent container
2. Let is settle for at least a week. Some water and visible solid particles will settle below the container
3. A cheap filter is to use surgical facemask. I would recommend a new one not the used one, avoiding disease such as Covid-19. You can still re-use it until the oil is not dripping.
4. Using funnel with one ply of facemask, you can transfer the oil on another transparent container.
5. You can already fill up the stove with filtered used cooking oil.
You will notice that the color of the flame is not blue unlike with the kerosene or diesel. This is because, there might be other suspended food particles on the oil even it is filtered.
I havent tried on waste motor oil (changed engine oil)
But I would assume that the operation procedures will be the same as I have also another youtube that I used it on the same stove with burner #2.
• Free Fuel Waste Motor ...
Downside of a stock burner #1.
1. The nozzle is easily clogged compared when using burner #2.
2. I need to slowly adjust the control valve from time to time as the flame is not stable compared to the burner #2. Maybe because burner #2 has more room to heat the more oil inside the tube, so the flame is stable.
Enjoy cooking economically.
