Which brand should I choose?

	If there is already a used oil burner in your community, talk to the operators to see how they like their brand. If they recommend their used oil burner, it makes sense to get the same brand so you can share knowledge and tools for installation, operation, and maintenance.
	Calling the different distributors will help you learn about specific plusses and minuses to their type of burner.

	What is the price tag?
	What is the shipping price? This might depend both on the distributor and the barge or airline.
	How soon can the burner be shipped? Some distributors might not have the model you want in stock. They will need to order it.
	How did you get along with the distributor when you talked with them? This might make a difference if something goes wrong with the burner. Feeling comfortable to ask all the questions you want is important in getting that burner to run right.
