I have been heating greenhouses for the last 10 years with this home-made heater--I made it with an incinerator unit I bought from Burn Easy [I will include the address below] and 55 gal drums--[free]I cut a 16 inch diameter hole in the center of the drums [except the ones at each end] and bolted them together to form a long tube-I then hooked up the flue pipe to one end and the heat unit to the other-I put a thermostat [from Graingers] in the power supply line and a tank-[or gas can of Diesel in florida] and a filter-I burn a mixture of Diesel and drain oil[no more than 25%] and you can burn Bio Fuels as long as you insure there is ample lubricant to protect the life of the pump[$50 if you don't]--alcohol does not work alone-you must add drain-oil or diesel---Bio-Diesel may by fine[probly]--it has been trouble free for 10 years-except for replacing pumps when I was learning--

You dont need the Incinerator--Just the heater unit that they put on the Incinerators- [replacement Burner]
