With a system like this you would want the chain suspended so that it was exposed to intake air and not exhaust air. As the oil heats and vaporizes you want the fumes going into the flame and not unburned out the exhaust.
I burned some newspaper logs that had been soaked in veg oil. That worked pretty good. Don't know what kind of residue might end up in your chimney.
