Food grade 55 gallon metal barrel

Postby edub20 » Tue Jun 16, 2015 6:50 am

I'm looking for a food grade metal barrel in the Jackson,MS area. I'm planning on finally making a UDS (ugly drum smoker) but am having trouble finding a food grade barrel. The Rankin co op usually has them but they are currently out and not sure when more will be in...

If anyone has a lead it'd be appreciated.

When you find out something, let me know. I've been wanting to make one too, but haven't been able to find a barrel.

What about food grade blue poly drums? Bung top, not open top. Any sources in the Jackson area, down to Wilkinson cty?? Named some for transporting water.

reel heavy, but i used an air compressor tank purchased at scrap metal yard for mine. The thickness of the metal holds heat much better than 55 gallon drum.
