Thread: steam explosions to atomize wvo

quote: Wonder how much water it uses per hour to create the atomizing steam? I don’t think it would take much at all. Last year I had got some wet oil in my heater and it burned very poorly, had to clean the tank out. But this steam thing would be different I think. After about two years burning pot heaters I am convinced the only way to get a nice CLEAN burn is to atomize the oil. After winter I will experiment with some steam, but as for...
