UDS Barrel opinion?

[SneakerMB]

OK, there is a company here in town that sells 55 Gal steel drums that have already been put through a furnace and then blasted (sandblasted I am assuming). The catch is they get these drums from all over and have no idea what was in them. I would assume that these would be fine especially if I go ahead and do a good burn on it myself.

Should I grab it or pass it up?

Thanks

Marc:
what's the cost?

$30 I'm more concerned about the food safety though since I dont know what was in them.

I'm right across the river in Jeffersonville, and have built a total of 9 barrells I bought from Cargo Clean. Is this the same company you're talking about? If so make sure you get them before they put the rust prevention chemical on the inside.

No, these are from Allied Drum, Hadn't tried Cargo Clean.

Haven't heard of them. They showed me how the barrells are cleaned using the fire and sandblasting. Hard to believe anything could survive that.

Assuming they are all rendered equally safe through the refurbishing process, I would chhose the heaviest drum as it will be the thickest guage.
