I'm glad this discussions is happening, I converting my OWB to run on WMO and have been burning WMO for a while now so most of the bugs are out.
What I have been wondering is whether I should reduce the burn chamber by installing fire brick all over making it smaller.
The design of the OWB it pulled the water from the bottom and the return was dumped back in 12-14 inches from top, the chimney exits the back wall near where the return water enters the water jacket.
I was wondering also whether I should put the oil gun high up in the chamber or down low, the chamber this OWB design also had a side coal shute ( I never used but it came in about 12 inches from the floor.
Assuming the OWB manufacturer did his engineering they obviously did it for a reason.
It has 4 tubes carrying water thru the top of the fire chamber making me wonder if the gun should be up high licking those pipes.
not sure if any of this helps the thread but//
PS just notice my post has me as a newbie even though I Joined March 2008 Oh well
