Steel drum needed!

Rougement Oct 10, 2009 6 Comments

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....
