55 gal SS drums

Dreaming about stepping up production and found this: http://shop.usedstainlesssteelbarrels.com/main.sc
Would also make a PDS(purty drum smoker). Shiny!

Awesome! And the price ok for the 304 steel. Make an awesome boil-kettle.

The $100+ shipping puts a damper on my enthusiasm, but it might still be a good deal.  Nevermind the PDS though, the UDS works great :slight_smile:

I picked up a surplus power transformer shell at the scap/recycle center last week.  It is painted stainless steel, 47 gallons and never used.  The scrapyard attendant thought it was carbon steel and sold it to me for $20.  It is going to make an awesome boiler!  :wink:

Score! Post action pics…

It is still good price.

Wow, that’s a great deal!

Transformer steel is often called Silicon Steel - up to about 4% Silicon and 93-96 Iron with minor (< 1%) additions of Nickel, Chromium, Aluminum, Titanium.  If it was painted it is very likely not Austenitic (300 Series) Stainless.

They are some very nice looking drums. I would love to have one for use as a UDS.  :slight_smile:
