Are you a car driver?
Many non-manufacturer car service/repair shops will buy lube oil in 220l steel drums,
and,
are only too willing to give them away.
('Give' = not pay for disposal).
(I also have a couple od the sturdy blue plastic drums that formerly held anti-freeze
as rain butts here at mespilus mansion).

just don't flame cut it, wilko, even angle grinding, if the drum contains residues could lead to an igntion:

Holy shite that looks bad... Thanks for the heads up. A quick google turned up this thread as well... http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/threads/55366-Cautionary-tale-Man-killed-while-cutting-up-an-oil-drum/page2?s=b48321231300157d12ad948546fb3719... Good to know.

I have a grinder, anyone know a safe way to cut it open?

...Also cheers mespilus, will check my local garage

never mind, found a place in dartford selling old juice drums, no risk of them exploding!

MAX would you make one of those for me, and if so, how much? Looks fucking great.

The going rate seems to be about £350 (judging by ebay/google) for a proper oil drum bbq/smoker..

i'd do it for £175 finished as above
