hmmm...I'm too lazy. Would have bought another drum without the liner.

I picked up my most recent drum from a place that does oil changes. It had synthetic blend oil in it, No Liner. I'm actually looking forward to working this one. I picked up one of the weed burners fro Harbor Freight. In my opinion every man should own one. The thing is awesome. I used it to cure the Hi-Temp paint on my UDS. No more looking for discarded pallets to do a burn, WooHoo

Yair . . . Why not use lube oil drums? They are nice and clean and there is no stuffing around with grinding/sanding . . . maybe on the outside if you are fussy. I don't bother, I just paint them over with stove black
I can never see the point in food grade and having to deal with coatings and liners. They sure won't be "food grade" when you finish melting and burning and sanding out the liner or coating. Some of them sure do have nice lids though but if you cut oil drums in the right place you can use the tops or bottoms for lids. Cheers. |

Agree with the above. The liners are only "food grade" when used as intended, the same way that plastic Tupperware is food grade when used as intended. Put either one in a 300-degree environment, and you have a decidedly non-food-grade situation. I see folks on Craigslist around here selling UDSs and barrel grills made of 55-gallon drums and touting the "food grade" barrels they used, but with the liners still 100% intact.

I would avoid food grade if possible, but with the $20 HF weed burner. I got coating out in two less than half-hour sessions. It comes off in sheets when it gets to the necessary temp. Worst part is the bottom perimeter, the heat tends to come right back at ya. I'll try to avoid it next time, but it was $20 for an otherwise very nice drum.

I simply paid a local blasting shop $20 to blast mine clean.

Resurrecting thread
Good afternoon oh brethren of the functional smokers.
I’m burning out my drum with the food grade liner, all of the light brown/red brown melted off by running the torch along the outside of the barrel. Unfortunately it looks like there is an additional black liner underneath. Has anyone encountered this? I’m second guessing whether to burn it again putting the torch inside, any danger there? tia |

The torch will suffocate. It will use the oxygen to quick and go out. Drill the intake holes on the bottom of the barrel. Fill the barrel with wood and light her up.

I would drill the vent holes first for good air flow and then burn it.

Even with a good burnout, you might still have to do some wire wheeling- but the more you burn, the easier the wheeling.
If you are going to use the flat lid, resist the temptation to just toss it in there while the burnout is going on. It will "taco" on you.
