I have a new 55 gallon drum. Do you still have to do a burn out or can you just season it. What about the painted outside of the drum, does that have to be repainted with high heat paint.
YES I would watch what chemicals were in it. Might not be safe even after the burn????I have a similar question. My drum is bare steel inside but it was used as a industrial chemical container. How should I clean this out?
Some say any good burns will remove the toxins of chemicals.. I personally looked for food grade drums and found an olive oil drum with oil still in it.. so I empied the oil and seasoned..It was coolant for a CNC machine.' I don't know much about the chemical.... What about sandblast.
No need to burn... just season real good... I didnt use high temp on mine.. but after some high heat cooks with chickens or burning the remaining fuel.. I have to add touch up paint.. so high heat paint would stop me from having to touch up every so oftenI have a new 55 gallon drum. Do you still have to do a burn out or can you just season it.
