Where can I buy a cheap used steel barrel?
Where do you live? There's a place near Baldwin (south-west of
Cadillac, MI) that sells pre-made burn barrels for about that price. Ray "Ignoramus9040" wrote in message ... Need to construct a cheap firepit... Was hoping that a used barrel could be had for $5 or so... Any ideas? Thanks! i |

Stack them up to the height you want. I've got 4 stacked. Some times slightly bent ones can be had for free at tire dealers. RWL ******* Remove NOSPAM to reply ******* |

Thanks. i Repair shops that repair big tractor trailers, construction equippment, and of course auto repair shops, however, the heavy equippment shops are going to be the best place to look. n. |

Around here some Feed Stores carry them as farmers/ranchers use them
for feeding troughs, dog houses, and burn barrels. I think they are around 6.50 though (Eastern Ok). Need to construct a cheap firepit... Was hoping that a used barrel could be had for $5 or so... Any ideas? Thanks! i Steve M |

Was hoping that a used barrel could be had for $5 or so... Many people use the standard 55 gallon drum but they for a burining barrel. However the steel of a 55 gal drum burns out fairly quickly. The inside of a 55 or 60 gallon water heater may be a better choice. Many of them are now enameled which will not oxidize. The threaded holes for the electric heating elements can be used to connect the burning barrel to a blower to introduce air directly in to the fuel for more complete burning and producing higher temperatures to burn off any pollutants. The Independent of Clackamas County, Oregon "The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions ... but by iron and blood." (Otto Von Bismarck, Speech, Sept. 30, 1862.) |

Thanks to all. After a few calls, I found a truck repair place that
had one, they told me to stop by tonight. We'll see how it goes. Now, a question, what is the best way of making a firepit out of such a barrel. I do not need it for cooking, etc -- only for burning brush, trash, that sort of thing. i In article , Ignoramus9040 wrote: Need to construct a cheap firepit...
