Metal drum BBQ

narkymarky

Evening,

Maybe not entirely the right place for my question but figure it's worth a shot anyway. I'm trying to find a single 45 gallon steel drum to use as a bbq. Food grade ideally but am sure I could clean an industrial grade barrel too. I'm just outside Belfast and am struggling to locate anything. Have found some suppliers in England but the delivery charge is killing the price altogether.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Mark

I'm also in the market for a similar drum. Finding it tough too, how much was the postage form England?

My bro used to buy those drums full of grease for machinery etc. I'd say any mechanics/ship yard etc should have them. Worked on a ferry where the engineers cut some in half and made BBQs out of them with wire mesh.

Meanwhile Argos & Homebase (same place) do cheap enough ones.

Might even get one on a second hand website for cheaper.

Cheers for that Olaola. Think I might have found something down the road - with a greasemonkey funnily enough! Failing that I'll try some of the local shipping/ferry companies - there's one not a million miles from work.
