Well that is the problem. It has already shipped and is being delivered today. I like you don't want to give Clinton to hard of a time. But I am a little anoyed because the reason I bought one was to avoid the whole burn out issue.

Gaspipe, sorry for your troubles. What was the story? Did he miss burning yours out or did he try and fail at removing the liner?
I am glad he is standing behind his product. I hope he contacts everyone he sold a lined drum to and makes the same offer.

I got the drum on Friday. Big bummer it does have a liner.
What kind of business would do sandblasting? |

its starting to sound like clint might not be as standup of a guy as some believe. if he advertises that his units are burned out, then he obviously understands the potential dangers and is trying to play on the ignorance or empathy of his customers by sending out drums that havent been properly prepped.

I'll go by a body shop this week. I'm just bummed I really want to start using this. But I think getting it down to bare steel makes a lot of sense. |

Yeah, I would just call around. I would start with small, local mom and pop repair places. They probably do not have their own equipment but they will know who to call and who will do it cheap. A powder coater is another place to look. Here is a start:

I just did this yesterday. The Easy Off had no effect on the liner at first, but after the sun came out and heated up the drum the liner was pealing within a couple hours. After letting the Easy Off work, I took a wire wheel in my hand (not in a drill) and within 30 minutes I had 95% of the liner out. There were still a few spots that the liner didn't come off, so I sprayed it down with the rest of the Easy Off. I let it sit all night, and it will sit all day today in the sun - hoping the rest will come off just as easily. I'll wire wheel any left on, wash, do a little burn with a weed burner, paint and season.
This wasn't a red liner though....it was a tan liner.

The way I looked at it was that it was only about $5 investment, and if it didn't work I could use the leftovers to clean the cooking grates later.

Wow that is great news about easy off.
I will have to give easy off a try. I did find a guy who will sand blast the liner off for around $50 depending on what kind of component he needs to clean the drum with. The big thing was he was willing to come by and pick it up. Which would save me a lot of time. I didn't get home in time to take a picture but it is the same orange color that GasPipe1 drum has. They are probably from the same batch. |

Here's what my barrel looked like this afternoon, as you can see the remaining liner was peeling up. It should be super quick to finish taking the liner out.

Hey ColTrain
How did you clean up the easyoff way down at the bottom? That is some toxic stuff. |
