Hello Everyone!
I have some questions on my venture to build a UDS and I am hoping someone can help. I have access to a stainless drum that someone made just out of sheet stainless and welded both ends shut. The original thought for this person was to make it into a lawn roller but it never got completed. So here I am contemplating making a UDS out of it as far as I know nothing was ever stored in this container. The drum itself is 36" tall and 24" wide. So a couple questions:
Is all stainless safe for making cookers (I am not sure what stainless was used on this drum)?
Are these dimensions close to the 55 gallon drums normally used?
I am thinking of using black pipe found at HD, is this safe to use?
I will be posting pics here soon. Thanks for any and all help!

Here are the beginning pics of my build:
More progress, stainless is a pain to work with. Glad I have the plasma cutter when I need it. We tried to drill holes that didn't work so well..
