Steel drum needed!
With the cold weather starting to arrive I’ve been roused to start looking at ways to keep warm.
I found a very cool stove kit that uses a 55 gallon steel drum. The kit adds a door, legs and vent to the drum to make an inexpensive wood stove for my garage.
Trouble is, I have no idea where I can get a 55 gallon steel drum around these parts, can you help?
Free or cheap is best otherwise I could end up with a stove costing more than a cheapo cast iron one from Menards!
I have been sitting on a couple of kerosene heaters that I have never used and probably never will. I think they work but not sure.
Try posting a request to Freecycle.
Use two, works better. make sure your woods dry.
Grainger in West Duluth sells new 55-gallon drums for about $140, some things are worth buying new, since used drums likely contained some sort of regulated waste product.
I heard the Air Force dumped a bunch of them in the lake a few decades ago….
Thanks for your help, I found one!
