UDS barrel help

backwoods · Nov 12, 2009

I am working on reading the entire UDS thread and in the meantime been looking for a drum. I am in central Ohio and cannot find one within an hour drive. Anyone have any ideas where to look? Im wanting to get this made before winter hits but the closest i have found is 2 hours drive each way. If thats what i need to do, ill do it just don't tell my wife.

A quick of CL for Dayton shows someone selling a drum for $25 in Troy. Seems that is only about an hour from you. I would thing Dayton would have someone selling drums.

Haha!!! I promise I will not tell on you. Yes, I'm sure it is frustrating, especially when you really want it now. Good luck....keep looking, there has got to be one close by.

Man they're everywhere. Look harder.

I've found the best bet for drums in smaller towns are feed & grain outfits, especially if they blend feed on-site.

Poultry feed almost always has vegetable oil in it, horse feed usually does as well, and sometimes has molasses blended it.

Good luck,

Chris

backwoods, check out your local farm supply or environmental companies. You will find one real close.

Never thought about that. I have feed mills everywhere here.

Try a bakery, machine shops, google barrels and a city nearby, etc.

Check the free classified papers that you can pick up at gas stations and other places around town, that is usually where i find them.

Thanks everyone.

I ended up finding one 15 min. from my house. He says they are open top with lid and clamp. I asked about the liner and he said no but they are primered so who knows. If its a liner it WILL burn out right? I live in the country so 10ft. flames every night for a week is no problem if thats what it takes.

Yes, burn it. Or if you get it and there is rust inside maybe it doesn't need burining, but it wouldn't hurt.
