- After fighting issues of un burned trash left behind and or tending to a burn barrel for hours I needed a barrel that would burn fast and hot. I also needed a barrel that didn't hold ash and cause the barrel to rust out so fast... We found the fix to all these issues in this video and i was shocked to see how it turned out.
Best method for punching holes in a burn barrel of all the videos I've watched! Double thumbs up!!
😊😊👍👍
Gone Gangsta on that barrel 😮... looks like it is working well 👍
I sure did lol
Every time I watch your videos I laugh out loud. Thank you for cheering me up with your videos
That makes me happy to hear 😊
The sideways shot 😜😆 it needed a “brake yo self fool” Superbad! Lol, lol, lol!
Cool burn barrel, that’s all we had growing up, plus it saves a $30/week trash pick up fee!
Our is $60 so we burn
$30 a WEEK?!?!!? And @SunnySlope Homestead, yours is $60 s WEEK?!??!!?? Damn guys...where do y'all live...downtown Manhattan? I live in rural north Georgia and pay $20 a MONTH. I send garbage with the garbage man because I don't like burning plastics, compost what is compostable, and burn what little is left.

It’s I can make a few folks laugh Im happy 😊
My barrel has few holes and still burns great. Maybe because I am in FL and burn lots of palm fronds and they are such great start up. Also my barrel bottom rusted out so I just have a fire screen type of grill on the bottom. Don't really need to weld it, it just sits on it and then I shovel the ash to the garden or to the dump. Its seated on large bricks and I always wet under the barrel with lots of hose water, and all around the barrel. Works for me OK. Thanx this was very helpful, used to do just burn pile but this feels much safer because contained.
A well used Burn Barrel! I grew up in the city, but we were allowed to have burn barrel's when I was a kid. Always loved at the end of the day when we were allowed to burn. Then the city changed the ordinance and no more burning was allowed. Miss those days...You're a funny man, Mike!
Good old days right , people ruin all the fun
@@SunnySlopeHomestead I think it had to do with pollution!! I knew a kid too, who got "melted" from a back-burn of a burn barrel fire. He came back from summer vacation with a pretty messed up body....Thanks for posting your safety video
I love the barrel burners. My dad always had one during my childhood years of the 50's to mid 60's. There was a time when almost every American living outside the big cities had one. In those days everyone left the bottom in the barrel which was a mistake as you know. That updraft from an open bottom (with grate) makes for a superior burning barrel.
For sure , removing the bottom is a must to get a good burn.
you probably dont care but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the account password. I love any help you can give me
@Alejandro Forest Instablaster =)
@Dallas Jayden I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Dallas Jayden it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
This is the first video of you I’ve watched - I was thinking snowy slopes…. 😀 good video, good project with excellent results. You even made vent holes the way I do 😄
Awesome, thank you! You should check out my new barrel video it’s even better
This 2 yr old video popped up in my recommended. TH-cam loves burn barrel videos 🤣
Not enough lol
Best easy and simple version I've seen thus far
Still going strong 💪
8 months later she still kicking
Thanks for your service. I think nowadays drill bits are cheaper than ammo
No days yes I agree LOL
Don't know if has been said but Thank you for your Service!
The Bearded One thank you 👍✊
Mike you killed your burn barrel.🤣 LOL, My vent hole maker is similar to yours, they work really well for all kinds of applications.😁 Good idea on putting the grate in the bottom for the ash to fall through , it works great. Be safe and
for heavens sake, DONT BURN THE YOUR-BEARD OFF. LOL. Take care and be safe on the ice.
It was time to put her down lol
I love my burning barrels but please remove the plastics before you dump them in there. Plastic is very toxic and can cause you and your children some major health issues. Burning plastic releases toxic gases like dioxins, furans, mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls into the atmosphere, and poses a threat to your health, vegetation and animals around you. Please don't take my comment as offensive but I didn't know if you were aware of this. Keep the videos coming, love your stuff! ~John
Smart man! I did mine the same way....I wondered if I was the only one that shot the holes instead of taking an hour to drill all those holes. Way more fun our way!
I gave away 14 empty refrigerant oil barrels to a local contractor so I wouldn't have to pay for disposal. I'm glad you didn't pull out a regular drill to make those holes!!
The Bearded One what fun would that be hahhahaha
Love them ventilation holes, Brother. Semper fi
Rah ! Moto holes lol
Looks like it's working pretty darn well!
Have a good day ☃️☃️☃️
It did for sure
In my experience, a burn barrel will rust out at the bottom unless the barrel has a waterproof lid that is kept on when burning is not being done. Rainwater mixing with ashes on the barrel floor produces an alkaline slurry which initiates corrosion very rapidly.
Easy and simple, get more air flow by turning cinder blocks solid side down to get additional air flow through the holes in the bloc. YeeHaw!!
Gotta get my hands on a couple barrels. Going to attempt using one to burn out stumps in the spring 🤷♂️. Who doesn’t love a good fire?!
I heard about folks doing that ... let me know how it works out
How do you burn out stumps?
OK, Gotta call you out on your investment costs. I'm willing to wager that the "ventilation holes" cost more than $20 to create!! :) ;)
Hahahha yeah these days it a small loan to install those holes lol
Nice save! I can feel the warmth from here!
AND NO PRODUCT IN THE BEARD ON BURN DAYS!! 🧔 + 🔥 = NO!
It’s all natural oils lol
Yes beards are slightly flammable.
The Bearded One You’re telling me! You should see the videos of me boiling and finishing sap for maple syrup!
I liked it. I don't have all the stuff to make something that good but I figure an axe or grinder to the bottom for suits like that should work just as well
It’s about time to make another one and the price of ammo I’m gonna have to do it differently
The freedom stick I used to make the holes is dads 12 gauge lol. Made a lot of holes with one shot.
Always a fun time to use your "Freedom Twig"!
I would try this but the town I live in has some silly law about discharging a "freedom stick or twig" inside city limits...Man,they know how to take the fun out of everything!!!! Hahaha.
Thanks for the tutorial on it...it was fun watching
👍👍👍😆
The cut out lid/bottom can be your grids, designed to swirl the air into a vortex.
No burn barrels allowed where I live either. We have recycling bin and curbside pickup. Years ago it was allowed except for plastics. Looks like your new setup will work great as long as the bottom hold out.
That’s the plan and we reduced our plastics by buying a water cooler
The almost fall, bahahahaha! Nice save! 🥶😜
Always out here ... have to stay on my toes lol
I stopped shooting mine to make holes. Even if you are a great shot; the exit holes can go through the actual rings of the barrel. That causes the barrels not to last as long. Having said that, it’s a LOT more fun then using any other tool and makes for a much better video! Thanks for sharing. I also like the freedom twig!!
Aye I’m thinking if you weld a heavy duty rod with an overhanging hook on the back of the barrel you can hang the bags over the flame so they burn lifted up than sitting on the grate
Freedom twig! hahahahaha That one had me thinking and trying to figure out what that could be. A 22, pellet, bee bee? Then I saw it! Clever!! Had me laughing out loud it did.
You did a great job on the burn barrel. Maybe making a second when you get to the rock project would make getting the job done quicker feel a lot better? Burning trash really isn't fun, but if anyone can figure out a way to make it fun, it's you!
Oh yea! I was so bummed you didn't wipe out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha thank you 😊 I’m sure I’ll get my ads pulled for it lol
@@SunnySlopeHomestead - I did wonder about that, but, hey, sometimes just doing you without monetization is best. At least I think so.
My burn barrel is kind of like yours but I made a lid with a 4 foot 8 inch stack on it. When it gets to going good it looks like a blow torch. the lid keeps it dry and increases the heat for a smoke free burn.
That’s a good idea and I may try it , sounds cool to watch 👍👍😊
I started with a Burn Barrell recently. The dead tree branches that fall from my neighbor , are on my propery and It's now my trash to remove. I use the 55 gal drum, works great. For trash? Perhaps, I suspect the day will come when the Waste Companies will charge by the pound when they collect your trash. If so, into the Burn Barrell.
Lower your voice ! If they hear what you just said they make millions lol 😆
here for the freedom, stayed for the burn
😆😆✊👍
No burn barrels allowed where I live due to air pollution laws but I remember them. Using the grate was a good idea. Keep the videos coming now that you are monetized.
Oh I plan keeping them coming now I have better equipment to film with now
Well this is the most important step.
One thing I noticed when you put the stuff in is you burn bottles which is fine so do I, but as an experiment hold a lighter to a bottle with water in it, it will char and heat up the water but not let the water out, so it will expand and explode so just be careful and make sure all liquids are removed or just take the lids off before you throw em in the bag to be safe
Great setup. Let us know how it holds up over time 👍🏻
Sure we’ll 👍👍
Nice job buddy
Looks like a good way to start an undergound fire.
Underground fire sounds awesome 😎
BEST burn barrel: cut out top. cut out bottom. set up on three or four red bricks. done. smokeless. you're welcome.
Burn barrels are essentially blast furnaces
That little dance is cause by Snow Snakes.
Great job sir
Thank you
Glad I found this ,comical and great build 👍
Grate idea :) The airflow up though is the best to get a thorough burn. When we bought our place there were 3 cement tiles left and they set for 30 years, one day I thought I would try to set one up on end to burn in. I notched it at the bottom so I could clean ashes out with a shovel, it has worked fine for about 10 years on just the one tile. The steel barrels do not last long, not made they way they used to be, what is? My neighbor cut a rectangular hole in the side of his new barrel to let air in and shovel out the ashes, seems to be doing well,
Next is to and a air blower lol
Great job
You can also put the barak on a iron vloor rack😜👌
Angle grinder with a cutoff disc
Actually, a “bunghole” isn’t the opening on a chemical barrel it is the opening on a cask (beer barrel, rum barrel, whiskey barrel) through which the cask can be filled or emptied. It is filled with a “bung” which is a cork or cork like stopper. Sorry, I’m not a Space Force sniper, just an old bartender and distiller. Cheers!
Correct , the term has carried over to drums now days . Least in my field of work it has lol still a funny word
@@SunnySlopeHomestead Spot on. Even distillers pause mid speech when talking about “the bunghole!” LOL
Enjoy your channel!
Ryobi has done me well.
No where around me can you get a free barrel. $15 bucks is the cheapest if you're lucky.
Gun guy that is a bummer because I live next to a larger city I have places that will give them away to just get rid of them. I should sell them lol
Sunny Slope I'm a new subscriber sent by the Crocker brothers! Love your channel & obsessed with Chip, where else can I find him other than the bomb & the raccoon videos? Also, are you related to Dutch? Thanks ----have a great night! ~Mary & fam in NJ
Oh he just pops in time to time lol stay tuned 😊
Wow I can’t explain why this comment is just showing up so I apologize for the late response. Chip pops in now and then lol but we can’t never tell when he may be on the videos. Dutch and is my brother from another mother but blood brothers no lol thank you for subscribing and hope to hear from you in our other videos 👍👍👍👍
Semper fi bro. New sub
I always wondered what happened to Copperhead :)
Recycle ♻️ some of your trash!💕
We used to in Texas but don’t have a program here here live
What do you do if you don’t have a welder and don’t know how to weld?
Ummm find a friend I guess lol or use screws 🙌
"...and I served as a sniper in the Space Force" 🤣
Dig a hole underneath the barrel to let the ash fall into it?
Fun shooting it full of holes, I know. Probably not necessary though since the bottom is wide open.
Don’t take this joy away from me 🤣
Freedom Sticks.... 👍
🤫🤣
flawless! well done man. subbed
Thanks for the sub!
I live in Clarksville Texas not too far from Paris Texas could you tell me what and where to go and get the burn barrels I'm not too good at this babe you can tell me I would really appreciate it it's the first time I watched you and thank you and God bless
I know tractor supply has started selling them in my area of Nebraska but I would try looking around any industry areas and ask for them . 👍👍👍
i closed my eyes when you tacked it
good job
Jeez Louise. I say that. I never heard anyone else say that. Well maybe, but not in forever.
😆😆👍
After each use put it under cover. A tarp works good.
So i'm just of out to buy myself a welder a saw , oh ! and a gun . 😁
balls of steel! this guy cut off the lid of the steel barrell with a generic dewalt "porter cable" right next to his nads.@4:45
😆😂😆😂😆😆 I like your style
How long does a burn barrel last you? Thanks for sharing 🍻
Little over a year
can you lmk how its been, im interested to know if you have had any problems with unburnt stuff falling through as I was thinking about doing this method but with the metal from an old bird cage doubled up and put in between the barrel and the blocks cause im lazy but I think it would work
Can u say approximately what was the burning time it took to completely form that ash ? A rough idea? Usually how long a burn barrel will be on fire so that the waste can form the ash. I understand that it depends on the amount and the type of waste that we add to the burn barrel. But still what will be an average approximate time it can take if we add regular waste without much moisture content ?
It would depend on amount and contents of said trash but to say your average 15gal trash bag with normal house trash and not a lot of food scraps a burn time to ash would be 1 hour 12 minutes 18 seconds 😆
Really I started it around 6pm and it burned all night to ash. But the fire was a low glow with in 15-20 minutes
I knew you were kidding about the Space Force sniper thing. If you had been a sniper in the Space Force you'd be good with a ray gun, not a 9mm.
Hahahahaha you caught me
I sell steel 55 gallon barrels with removable tops in Jacksonville Florida.
that ash is garden gold depending on what you're burning
Really ? I mean I wouldn’t use the trash ash but what about ash from my grill or fire pit ?
@@SunnySlopeHomestead as long as it's wood ash. You can also check out videos on how to make biochar, which actually lasts longer in the ground. grill and fire pit is good as well.
Brother don't know about where you live but where I live it's a 25 thousand dollar fine if you get caught
Nah burning is normal in my area but that’s crazy to hear that
FYI ...porter cable is not cheap
I live in the country but our township still doesn't allow burning trash only clean burn. Wish that were the case though.
That’s nuts
just put one hole at the bottom that's all that is needed
where would be the best place to get free oil drums?
Meat packing or food processing plants are always happy to get rid of drums
@@SunnySlopeHomestead i'll have to try to find one
Well I can't see wasting your metal protectors. Them "bees" might come in handy someday.
I think it’s illegal in many states to burn household trash :|.
Trash burning Trash
😂😂😂 That’s too funny
You could use the ash on your ice.
🤦♂️ why didn’t I think of that , thank you because I have a wicked hill I drive up that’s always iced over. I’m gonna remember this one 👍👍👍😆
Love the name 👍👍👍
We never burned anything metal or unburnable. Just paper or stuff like that.
Yep I put a few beer cans in as I drink them on a Friday night lol
Have anyone ever used a burn barrel to burn lawn/grass clippings?
That would be very smoky and choke out for he barrel for sure. I’ve tried burning raked grass and it needed to be added in small amounts but it was very smoky which was cool lol
Do you recycle at home or mix all?
I bring what I can to town , they don’t offer recycling here
did you have to get a burn licences in your area.
Only if we are doing a controlled brush burn
Sure glad this old girl didn't stick around
Lol
Without a bottom you can't use liquids. Diesel and waste oil.
Too close to the trees?
Nah they are trash mulberry trees , weed trees where we live
$20 my ass! You easily shot $25 worth of 9mm through it! Hahaha!
Hahahaha WRONG $300 worth today’s prices 😆😆😆😆
@@SunnySlopeHomestead hahaha I adjusted for the age of the video!
Why would you burn plastic 15:32
Why not ? Guess I could bury it
LOL he is shoting the barrel
I wasn’t a sniper in the Space Force so I’m not qualified to make one of these barrels :).
😂
Good Idea, but burning plastic and other stuff that can be recycled...... Not impressed.
Sorry I wasn’t here to impress you so thank for watching though
Burning shitters?
Wasting good ammo
