converting a log burner into an oil burner

[AstonHill]

Dose not seam to be a board on hear for this so I though plumbing would be the closest shot

I wanting to run an 8mm copper tube as the fuel supply pipe line up in from the bottom of the stove into the inside of the top of the fire to act as a coil to preheat the oil so it dose not smokw, and then back down to the floor into a baking tray where it will drip oil into it and i will stick an oily rag in there as the wick to start it

The oil is to be pumped in from an on demand pump with a tap on it

PS
I also would like to mount a water tank or radiator at the back of the stove to stop to act as a heat brick so stop to much heat leaking out the back wall

That looks an absolute disaster in the making.
Correct way is a vaporising pot burner look at Harworth Heating bubble conversion,.

Given that oil flame temperature is ~2000C and the melting point of copper is ~1000C, that looks like a potential disaster to me.

what do you mean oil flame temperature? We are just pre heating it to thin it out a little. will depend upon temperature of the fire its self
