Hello fellow smokers, I recently finished a trash can build which turned out great. Fact of the matter is, it is a galvanized can. With sharing my creation I wasn't told it was a nice build or alitte recognition for the effort of finishing said smoker. Instead I was innindated and nailed against the wall for a full 2 days about the fact that I used a galvanized steel trash can. I tried my damnedest to fend off the onslaught but to no avail they kept it up. So much that I really was considering not participating in this forum. So I started this thread so we could talk about this subject " the danger or non-danger of using galvanized containers". The way I see it is if everyone has all this proof that cooking food in a galvanized container is possibly harmful, then let's have this conversation. Tell me what the difference is between using a file cabinet or oil tank and my never used trash can. Wouldn't you think that their is an equal possibly of toxins from leftover paint in cabinets or some petroleum residue left behind from unproper removal. Anywho... Let's talk this and finally come to a collective conclusion of this obviously touchy subject.
