Trying to get my hands on an older 50 gallon drum that didn't hold fuel.
(Plan on cutting for a cardboard / wood burning barrel)
Don't really want one that's held fuel or oil, as they can still be explosive even after flushing.
Just this spring someone back east was shredded cutting one that they filled with water thinking that it would be non explosive.
It's funny you know. Back in the day my grandfather cut numerous tops off old fuel barrels for his at the farm, but all it takes is the wrong spark / wrong barrel.
Not a risk I want to take being educated about it.
May consider one that held diesel only. I could properly vent that at least.
