Alternative uses for Old Jerry Cans.

[TeeDee]

I've got a few old Jerry cans. Thinking of tinkering an upcycling to some alternative projects.

Currently the list is :-

Drinks cabinet for Beach type BBQ's.
B-B-Q itself.
Blue tooth speaker abomination with big battery internal battery pack.


Any other suggestions?

Not off the top of my head, no, but if anyone nearby enough to pick it up wants it, I have an old Esso blue can like this....though mine is in better nick, this was just the first photo I could copy/paste

Sorry, thread hi-jack :blush:


Thinking on it, could you not fit it out like a stove in a suitcase type set up ? a metal picnic basket kind of thing ?

There’s one on eBay in good nick for £75, might be worth your while getting a courier quote. I’d love it, having accidentally put in a double order of paraffin (32lt instead of 16lt and now looking at getting an old Valor blue flame or Aladdin heater.

In a similar vein to the bluetooth abonimation I'd find a battery bank with inverter, 12v socket, USB, etc quite useful.

Thats what I'm thinking with the BBQ idea - maybe make it a Two section internal burn with one section capable of being removed to make a small Oven type area for doing bread.

Blinged up drinks cabinet.

Seen a few toolboxes in various permutations on the net.
From pretty impractical looking to not at all bad, none looked waterproof so in my eyes only good to store tools on the inside of a vehicle.

Or,

I did think about that one. Maybe.

On the other hand, you've just bought a 4x4, you need to 'bling' it by adding at least two jerry cans on the outside somewhere

I'd rather leopard crawl over broken glass with my dangly bits out to be frank.

If have storm lamps, storage for them and fuel bottles.

Really, don't do this.

Just because you, er, can (sorry) doesn't mean you should.

You do realise your advice goes against your signature line?
