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.
Where would I get a flame arrester out of curiousity? I definately want a very small steel tube for the input and a shutoff. I want the flow rate as low as possible but am not sure how to accomplish it gravity fed given the viscousity of the oil.
