I have been using used crankcase oil in my homemade wood burning stove for years. The stove is a 100 gallon fuel barrel (not a 55 gallon oil barrel, they are too thin) with a Stotz door kit. I welded a foot long thin wall exhaust pipe in the barrel at about 2 o'clock in the side and extend the pipe about 6 inches into the fire box and about 6 inches out. I have a 5 gallon can of oil sitting on a stand and a quarter inch pipe coming out of the bottom of the can with a gate valve on it. I run a small stream of oil with an air gap to the exhaust pipe and it runs into the fire and splatters onto the wood. Oil consumption is about 3 quarts an hour. I also run a small 110v squarrel cage fan at the front under the door to blow air into the fire box. Not enough vent air goes into the fire box to keep the fire going with natural draft. We can keep the 40x60 shop real confertable on a cold day but we do not leave this stove unattended. One does get a lot of black oily smoke so the 8 inche exhaust pipe is vertical through the roof. I can send you a digital picture of the unit if you would like to see it.
