Anyone know where I can pick up a couple of 45/50 gallon oil drums (preferably ones that haven't been cut up)?

eBay's no help as they're all collection-only and none in a reasonable distance (and the only ones who deliver are charging £99 for the drum, and extra for delivery... they're having a laugh!)

What do you call a reasonable distance, there are some in frinton for £9 collection only, thats near Clacton

Some more in Lowestoft.

Some more in Lowestoft.

The ones in Friton have holes in them (already checked that out).

Didn't see the ones in Lowestoft, could you send me a link please?

Bury St Edmunds £5 cash only

When do you need them for?

That's perfect mate

I need a couple for a home-made heating and water-boiling system I've designed. Tested it in small-scale (using large dogfood cans) and I'm now ready to go full-size on this sucker

Beauty is it's an instant water heater [once the tank is up to heat, anyway], rather than having to store the hot water in a header tank (though that can be done also, and likely will)

I don't suppose anyone could pickup a couple for me, for the next meet please.uppy_dog

I'm going to struggle to get two in my car, but if I can fit a third, I'll do so... though getting it to the next meet would also be a problem given I'd have to shove all my gear in there too....

 

[crosslandkelly]

I'm sure we could come to some sort of arrangement while I'm in Suffolk, even if someone could buy and store them for me till I get up there in January.

If Stu is okay with it, I could pick up a couple and leave them at the group site so they're there for the next meet? Obviously I wouldn't be staying, just dropping them off in the shed and headed home...

Cheers for that mate, but thats way out of your way. I was thinking I could pick them up during or after the meet.

Good idea Stu. I was thinking about an incinerator at the site, and a BBQ for myself.

 

[SJStuart]

They're round
They'll roll

Yeah an incinerator would be an idea.. I know we spoke about it on Sunday... it would make rubbish disposal easier.. seeing we getting a kitty we would have the money for it

And I think a Large Kettle would be a good one as well , and a early purchase from funds

My simple design would make a "large kettle" easy enough to build.
I'm going to share the entire plan, design and build process as a series of videos on my YouTube channel... figure others can benefit from this thing!
Electric immersion water heating is stupidly expensive compared to throwing a few kilos of firewood in a drum

Hell, if you just want to directly heat 205 litres of water, you could just stack one oil drum on top of another, make the bottom one the fire chamber, and stick a brass tap on the top tank... the only difficulty would be actually filling the thing!

So a 5 ltr kettle it is then.

 

[Big Stu 12]

as we said at the meet, best we OK anything purchased at the next meet first

I'm going to bring a new toy I just (tonight) made with me.

Cold water in, brew-hot water out... once set up and running, zero wait times
