There are quality tests here:

As for stoves, it depends on the stove. I think some will and some
won't, no matter how well you've made it. Learn to make the stuff
properly (easy) and give it a try.
We have a pressure stove made to burn kerosene and it works very well
with biodiesel. See this page, about two-thirds of the way down,
under "The pre-heating tank":

Hi all,
I am gearing up for my first test batch of biodiesel from virgin oil this
weekend. A few have suggested that using a proven process and visual
observances should be satisfactory tests to verify that all went well. Be
that as it may, I am still trying uncover any possible measures to help verify
my results. So, I am wondering, has anyone used biodiesel in a backpacking
stove that is capable of burning petro-diesel? Can I expect that if I use
biodiesel in one of these jobbies, should it burn the same as petro-diesel?
Should I expect any difference in flame color? Would this sort of test be
completely insignificant? Either way, I would certainly feel better the next
time I'm out on the trail if I was heating my dinner with bio
instead of petro.
Thanks in advance,
Ken
