Alan.,
There one thing it did remind my old days I used have old oil stove that is not a wick type more like pot burner type dang., set it low to med setting you will keep the house more than just a toasty warm but only one glitch is once a week to twice a month clean up the burner { more often if burn on #2 diesel fuel unless you snagged 400 liter worth of JP-8 now that is very clean fuel }
And that burner you show to us it simuair what we have in the states not much differnce on design.
Merci,Marc
