Hi everyone. I'm new here (my name is Jason from Alberta, Canada). I've been researching/contemplating building a UDS for a little while now and have decided to jump in and have started sourcing parts.
Finding a drum was a little more challenging than I expected but am curious to get some thoughts on what might be a better selection.
As an aside, I don't really have a good spot to do a roaring barrel burn without potentially alarming neighbours so I am hoping to get my barrel sandblasted.
Option 1: A kijiji ad has a barrel near me that used to house "a polyurthane substance". (The exact wording:
Option 2: Another used barrel, a little further away from me that used to house "an eco-friendly cleaning solution" (which I think was 'Orange TKO', if anyone is familiar with that). A little more expensive and a little further away but appears to be in good condition.
Option 3: If I am sandblasting, does that make it easy to remove the lining from food grade containers (as compared to a burnout)? And if so, should I just be looking at those?
Any one of those three jump out as the best option?
I know there is a ton of info on here for me to go through but happy to hear any other good-to-know tips from any of you. Particularly the Canadians - it's sometimes harder to access things that are referenced on forums (because of availability or shipping costs/limitations, for example) so would be happy to hear other experiences.
