My dad used to say the only drum question was the one you didn't ask, so here goes:
I have a source for 55 gallon, closed topped, unlined antifreeze drums. Are there any safety issues in using these drums for a UDS after a good burnout? I have a lined drum, but am not looking forward to wire brushing the big thing.
Thanks,
Skouson
I've done some research.
If you heat up ethylene glycol up to 400 degrees F, it will break down, and not be an issue. (It turns into ethylene and water. And, ethylene will evaporate, as well as the water. Oh, a ripe apple will give off as much ethylene as is left in these barrels.)
Use some of those juniper pieces, and some blue Kingsford, and get it up to temp, and keep it there for an hour.
Oh, I never heard your father say "the only drum..." (Guys, Sterling is my brother.)
POST PICS!
