Looking to get my hands on an empty 30 gallon metal drum that we can cut in 1/2 to make a portable firepit or 2. If anyone has one that they are looking to get rid of just let me know....Thanx

there is a place in pawtucket RI that sells them in all shapes and sizes..even stainless steel ones.. I cant remember the name unfortunatly.. :smash:

Just FYI, the ones that are most common are 50 gallon.. just incase that is the size your thinking about

the bigger 55 gallon ones are a tad too big....looking for smaller firepits. every year we go to a couple of campouts that don't allow groundfires but you can get away with a firepit...but it needs to be easily transportable.

I'll see if i can google up the place in Pawtucket

I saw on Survivor Man this week, when he was trying to survive in the Alaska wild and there where hundreds of 50 gallons drums, free for the taking, in the abandoned Inuit fishing villages.

Just go get them.:pats:
