Stainless Steel Drum SUPER Score!!

MisterChrister · Oct 10, 2013

Awhile back, I asked a fella I know from work where he got this steel drum. It has a pipe inlet stainless welded on that I thought would be handy for an intake. He said he knows a guy who picked it up scrapping, and got it free. He said he'd keep an eye out for me and let me know if he saw any on the cheap. Today, he asked if I had room, I could just HAVE this one! Not wanting to be rude, I couldn't turn down his generosity! She's got some dings, which I'll work out with a hammer as best I can, but they are supposed to be a LITTLE ugly, no? Another reason I'm glad I got outta bed this morning!

I do think you are right. The lack of copper threw me.

Would it be used for beer brewing or only stronger spirits?

If it doesn't work out, you can always sell it for scrap. You would get .50/pound right now for 304 SS. Whenever I am looking for something, I always ask a couple of scrappers to keep an eye out for it and they usually find it within a week or so.

Great find! Let us know how it goes.

Pretty sweet.

peeps · Oct 11, 2013

Perhaps the original owner was just getting rid of evidence

Awesome find!! Not that it will matter that much but, find someone that has SS for their wire feed welder or tig weld the fittings in. :thumb:

That my friend will become a family heirloom!!:mrgreen:
