build a drip stove first. when you see how easily they can run away from you and turn a cast iron stove red, i bet youll reconsider adding more pressure to the crockpot.


quite a few people have had great results with using the pump from a typical becket style furnace gun, coupling it to a DC wiper motor and turning that very slowly with a PWM controller and powersupply off ebay.

simpler and less energy consuming than that, is a stack of minibike tire tubes on a vertical post with their valve stems linked to a common line feeding the top of a sealed grease reservoir. put a weight bench weight ontop the stack and you get your fixed PSI until they all bleed down and you refill with a bike pump. the bleed down can only happen as fast as you burn the oil, which is obviously controlled by a needle valve.

Why go to so much trouble fiddling with something that will likely burn down the building it's in, and void your insurance in the process?

Mix the UVO with sawdust, pack it in 'cardboard' milk cartons, burn them with a wood fire in a heavy steel airtight woodstove with combustion air control and a firebrick lined firebox.

Simple, easy, cost effective, and most importantly SAFE.

Does anyone know where to get a rebuild kit and instructions for a Thomas 107CA18 compressor. My compressor will not put out 5 psi. Thanks in advance for any help!
