I'm from Australia and new to this forum and new to smokers. I'm about to build myself an ugly drum smoker and I apologise in advance if my question has already been covered. I was able to get my hands on an open head drum. It is clean of linings and clean of paint on the inside. My question is regarding what it was carrying, it had paint in a bladder inside the drum, so nothing was actually touching the walls. There have been a few small splashes on the lid though and it has a reasonably strong paint smell. On the side of the drum with the flammable warnings is a skull and crossbone. Do you guys think it will be ok to use, keeping in mind it had paint in it, but in a bladder. Any help would be much appreciated.
