Most stains contain some pretty toxic chemicals, such as mercury, sulfur, copper, etc. that act as preservative and anti-microbial agents. Make sure NOT to use any drums used for transformer oil (PCBs) or chemicals. The offgases from even minute amounts of these compounds produced during burning or cooking are not healthy to breathe. Even after you do an initial burn, you could still be putting small amounts of toxic volatile compounds in your food from any residual chemicals. Keep in mind that the OSHA exposure levels are only recommended safe levels, that get lower and lower every year. Be safe. Minimize your exposure to toxics if you can. ___________________ MayDay Kamado Claypot, Cobb |

I called a local oil supplier ("Oil" in the yellow pages) and told him what I was looking for...he said come on by and we'll find you one. Got there and there wasn't a food grade drum to be found. He thought with a good burn a petro drum would be fine...but I passed... He understood.
He said he'd do some calling around and 10 minutes later he had a food grade oil (mineral oil) drum that I picked up at a local bakery for $5. Any food processing places or their lube suppliers should have access to a food grade drum...if they are willing to part with it...they usually have a deposit on them.
