Oil Drums, anyone?

[TurboGirl]

Just a kwik check up, guys, I'm desiring an oil drum for a fire and been looking at prices in the locality- I thought I'd check beforehand if anyone has a supply they sell on within Leicestershire or its bordering counties?

I've found some in Northampton at a fiver each so I might treat myself, anyone else after one? I can pick up and drop at Super Sausage meet (or if you're in Leicester, might be able to drop there if I'm offered a brew! ) Here's the link to the fleabay item (no ties, just 1/2 the price of most and sharing the warm firey feeling!) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....4500966&category=139915&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 Prob got room for about 4 if I take the LWB (hopefully, guestimated )

Good find, they are usually £10.00 as you say.

I basef... I mean facebooked appealed, but sadly have no contacts for scavenged ones... so half price seemed the next best! Doesn't sound like I've got much interest, maybe my tastes in things purloined is as wierd as HWMBO suspects

I got hold of one from my local mechanics, just phoned around and asked if they had an empty oil drum I could have and they said yes, I'm sure if you phone a few garages one would oblige.

oHHH, i DO OCCASIONALLY! *apologies, fit of over enthusiasm * I'll try gregor-scott's idea first. as 4x4 traders we've had the feelers out but I'm wondering if HWMBO has firgotton to ask... time to appear on the forecourts bearing mince pies, methinks Thank you for your help and suggestions, fellas!!

I had some Christmas goodwill when I bumped into the owner of a local place we send repairs to and yup, he was delighted to let me come and pick one up.... so thanks for suggesting it, I should have relied on me asking rather than overloading my poor HWMBO with my stange bushcrafty requests

Very many thanks to you too, British Red, for the kind offer! Very happy seasons greetings to you both x

No worries - the ones I have still have 2" of Marmite in the bottom - so you may have hated them!

Aaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhh now you tell me, I could have saved myself a fire, wiped it out with an engine rag and STILL lovingly sucked it outta the cloth afterwards!

Let me know if you need any more Sal, I've got a few on site if you want them. not sure as to the state, but should be one or two good ones

With the price of Marmite, you are sitting on a fortune

 

[TurboGirl]

Ahhh, you're a bunch o' champions, thanks everso for the firey support

I've now collected a barrel from our local car repairers with some neat self starter in the bottom for seasoning it... it woulda killed me to burn off the marmite
