There's a machine shop in Montana that sells plans for a burner that does it
all, I tried mine from a cold start up with veggie oil last week. Go to
www.wasteoilplans.com for information and plans, they are patiented and he
charges $35.00 per burner for the plan. They do require a fair size air
compressor to run, but they do what he says they'll do--and burn clean at
start up, built from off the shelf hardware stuff.

Steve,
What burner are you using? The ones showed didn't really look like
kiln burners. How did you port it into the kiln, and what is your floor
arrangment like? Up, down or side draft? I would really appreciate
any further info you can supply about your kiln and how you adapted
it to fire on vegi oil. I am really interested in this as propane is $1.85
gal us here and oil would be an excellent choice to reduce my firing
cost. I think it would also impart a flame closer to wood firing than
gas does.
Does this burner make a lot of noise? It seems it could be adapted to
run on the blow side of a vacuum cleaner as they say it only needs
three tenths of one psi to operate it.
