Ss bbq ?

[jtybt]

I went to a scrap/recycle yard and found some SS 50 gallon drums. They'd make great BBQ or smokers. Trouble is, they weigh about 70 lbs @ $2/lb.

That's the lowest price for SS I've seen there but still a bit much for initial cost. Whadaya think?

If you could build one and sell one, you'd make out pretty well.

If they are not too beat up, you could flip them for some serious cash with a little polish.

There were about 10 of 'em. 4 on the ground and only one was dented. They had irregular shaped holes cut out of the top. Maybe for some kind of inspection.

what does one use a SS 55 drum for? ive only used the metal and plastic ones

[viper522]

My guess is they're steel drums that used to contain an oil-based stain. But it all got used up and now they're stain-less steel drums.

Thank you, I'll be here all week!

I have a SS 55 gal drum and it weighs the same as a steel 55 gal drum. I don't think its close to 70 lbs. I wanted to do the bbq with it about five years ago, and never started it. I got lucky, a friend's uncle owns a drum/IBC tote sales and cleaning bus. This drum is used but cleaned, so its like new. And the price was right, Free! I've seen those things advertized for $700.00.

$700.00??????

Heck I'd sell my UDS for $700.00, shipping included in the continental US.
