Hi member Joe,
The proposal is very worthy of consideration using waste heat from boiler stacks whatever fuel is used. Waste heat contains up to 2/3 rds heat value of fuel used and provides natural draft for the hearth.I have measured chimney temperature of 300C so there should be plenty of draft

the oil through
