    Toxic drum???

    I need your opions. Neighbor gave me a 55 gallon drum with lid. No dents etc. One problem this is NOT a food grade drum. I want to make a DIY smoker but I am scared of the health risks. Some have told me just to burn it a few hours and it will be good. Your take? Yay or nay?

        Drums aint something to mess with. If its worrying you now, it'll only get worse when your cooking in it later on.

          Drums are cheap. Not worth the risk.

            Ha ha, that's very easy to say when you're not the one eating from it.

            An unknown drum is NOT something you should make a smoker out of. Some chemicals can impregnate the metal and never be fully removed.

                      Not any worse than lining your interior walls of your house with lumber off of used pallets

                        if you've done this than I'm guessing that it's the least of your problems.
