Oil Drum Barbecue
« on: April 18, 2005, 18:14:18 »
Strange one this but my friend want to build his own barbecue from an oil drum
Does anyone know where I can get one from??? Obviously it needs to be food freindly :)
If I could only find some mud to play in, I would be as happy as the preverbial pig!!!

Give your local fuel supplier a try, Rock Oil in Warrington used to give them away if you only wanted one and asked nicely. :wink:

Dependant on where he lives in Leeds, has he tried the smaller suppliers like the one at the end of Fleet Lane in Woodlesford.
Or Bayford(or is it Thrust?) at Castleford on Lock Lane.

I'm surprised that no small 'backstreet garage' (for want of a better expression) has any they want to get rid of :shock:

Alternatively, why not try a 'Pikey' site after they've been moved on, there's bound to be one there. Just mind where you're treading :lol:
At least he can collect the LPG cylinders and collect the deposits on them! :roll:

We must dispose of hundreds every month, all 200lt sized metal drums which have contained either resin or solvents. How suitable they'd be for cooking in not sure but can ask  :?:
