If it's a small stove that you can run fairly hot it might work but it's really hard to regulate. I tried it in my big woodburner in a shop that's real easy to heat, and after the second chimney fire I quit using the oil. I couldn't run the wood burner hot enough to get the oil to burn clean so a whole lot of oily soot built up in there. The temperature of the oil has a lot to do with how fast it drips, so the hotter the shop-the faster she will drip. Regulating the flow is a constant chore that can't be ignored or you might have a melt down. It might be good to have a small orifice in the drip tube so it can never run faster than a slow drip.
