I guess a liquid drip probably couldn't hurt, so long as you had a flame arrester on the liquid input, for over-caution reasons.

We had a two-barrel wood stove in the garage with a funnel on top that had a plain hose-bib attached that allowed used oil to drip into the stove through a 3/16 brake line. The hose bib leaked water, so we replaced it, and it was the perfect flow rate for the fire in the lower barrel.
