As a former welding teacher I tell you never ground of cut on a used barrel until you have filled it completely to the top with water. This is to expel any flammable vapors that might been in the barrel. Second you should never cut on a barrel with the caps in place. If the barrel does explode there is no blast energy to go but in your face.
You are correct, as I’ve seen a barrel pop that was having the top cut out. Fortunately the bung caps were removed. I’d like to see the shop cctv of all of us running. Also if you can read labels and verify that no other product has been in the barrel you should be fine.
I worked with a guy who was welding skids on the bottom of a fuel tank 2 metres dia 4m long that had been cleared to work on by a petroleum company. The last job was to blow a hole in the bottom for a drain Oxy-Acetylene). It had a large inspection hole in the top of the tank that was open. The end blew out and the Large oxy bottle landed 200metres away. My brother had a 500 litre diesel tank that the scrap metal merchant would not take because of the dangers. BE WARNED
@@Kurol12345 Inspection hole on top is useless because vapors are heavier than air. Your brother just didn’t find the right scrapper, someone will take it. Take it to the poor area of town and yell “free bbq” and watch people fight over it.
I think this is a great idea. I'm in Ohio and the laws on outdoor open burning are extremely strict. Even burning in an open barrel is very strict and they have strict guidelines on how it must be built! But if you use a wood burning stove such as this outdoors, the laws are extremely relaxed. I might make a version of this but on a larger scale. Burning plastic is a no, no so if your going to do it, don't tell or show it on a video.
I'm from NW Ohio. And yes the laws are pretty strict where I'm at also. But I do remember a time when almost everyone had a burn barrel in the back yard. No more around here or a nice fine will come your way.
Way to much work. Cut the top off . Shoot 12 or 14 rounds of 45 through the barrel for air & use & old grill grate on top to hold debris in. Also , wouldn't burn the plastic , pisses the neighbors off.
@Will Wade In my country it's illegal to make these. I haven't seen one of these since the '70's when they made everyone get rid of them so they wouldn't burn all their fucken rubbish!
Here in Georgia, we just take an old barrel and cut the top out. Then take a hatchet and knock some gashes in the side and set it on some bricks. Paper, cardboard or wood and burn it up. No plastic though.
End your stove pipe right at the top of the barrel where it connects do not extend it into the barrel and it will burn much more efficiently. Make a 3 inch tall collar out of a piece of pipe one size up from your stove pipe diameter that the stove pipe can snugly fit in and weld it on top of the barrel where you would insert the stove pipe. drill three holes around the collar equal distance around for sheet metal screws (In case you want to take the chimney down later for storage). Weld a steel lip or some kind of other seal around the top door and put high temp woodstove gasket on it for better air seal you are losing vac-cum here for the chimney draw. ( you dont have to do this on the bottom door but its a good idea with air flow valves). If you can extend the stove pipe another four feet in height it will greatly improve your chimney draw and burn very hot and fast and efficient. i love your design and was going to build one for myself before I ran across yours. I LOVE THE PORTABLE IDEA...VERY SMART and since its not connected to the house like the old barrel stove/incinerator I used to have no pesky inspections from the city. you have a buoyancy problem with the pipe a foot into the barrel and the air leakage in the top door and for more suction power you should have four more feet of stove pipe. the power of the draw is determined by the height of the chimney. I was in the chimney trades for 20 years and worked on and built a lot of barrel stoves thats how I know this. Do this and it will purr like a jet engine. Put air flow control valves on the bottom door and ,make it air tight and you can control how fast it will burn and easily shut it down if it gets to hot. Again I REALLY love your design and I'm going to make one for myself. thank you for the video -- Wayne
This is very helpful for people to grab a old barrel and just cut into it, old barrels that have had oil in them become explosive when sparks enter them and could kill people. Maybe put a disclaimer in that you have no regard for your safety but if you are going to attempt this to remove the oxygen from the barrel first. Run some exhaust into the barrel until the barrel is warm to touch before cutting into it. Rinsing it out does not get the flammable material from the seems. Remember folks people put all kinds of stuff in barrels so besafe cutting into them no one needs to get hurt or killed.
Only semi-burning it. That wonderful black smoke indicates an incomplete burn, and consists of a myriad of toxic and carcinogenic compounds which he's so thoughtfully releasing into the environment.
Amigo, you just demonstrated in one video how to expose your body to dangerous tools by no wearing the most basic equipment to protect yourself. On top of that, you just gave us a lesson on "How no to handle garbage". I'm pretty sure your neghbours are the ones who dislike your video. Greetings from Toronto.
Your brain is the best safety equipment but some readers are simply ignorant,yep we need more regulations, how I flying airplane safe.I wonder how come Any knife is still legal.😊
Fuck that let people be unsafe if they like. For all you know this guy could be a professional angle grinder juggler who is building a burn barrel. What’s more important is this fool burning plastic and other junk. If your going to burn garbage at least turn it into gas.
I'll stick with the old cutting the top off and poking a few hole at the bottom of the barrel to let the air in. Oh, if you live in the UK, you would never get away with burning plastics. It's completely illegal here and face fines.
I'm pretty sure it's illegal and punishable by fines everywhere here in the states. I should have known this guy was a moron when I saw him cutting and welding metal while wearing flip-flops.
it's a good idea to remove bungs from drum before you start to grind for safety. and think of your neighbour when burn rubbish the smoke may enter their house because they maybe uphill or onto their clothes on the clothes line.
That’s very fancy! The last time I had to do something like that I was in the US Army and we were in Denmark during an exercise in 1985. We didn’t have a stove for our tent because apparently it went “missing” somehow. It was winter and extremely cold with tons of snow. So we went to the trash pile and got a barrel like yours and took an axe to it because we didn’t have the right tools. So we cut a hole in the top for the pipe and one in the bottom like you did but no hinges, just pulled away the sheet metal like a door and stuck wood in it. It worked great, except we forgot to clean out the oil that was left and it burned! It smelled bad and there was lots of smoke in our tent but at least we stayed warm. We used wood that we found in the trash pile and branches that had fallen from tress because we weren’t allowed to actually cut wood from the trees. Good times!
I remember that winter too. Damned, it was freezing cold. However, 81 and 82 were even colder with a record of -25,6 C (81) and -31,2 (82). Thanks for your service...we appreciate our allies from the US. :)
@@kalleklp7291 well thank God that I was in the Army Reserves in 1980-82 and not in Europe! By the way we loved going to Denmark in the Spring and Summer, Fall wasn’t too bad either, but that winter! My wife has never been to Denmark and saw my pictures of it with the snow and cold and said that if we were to go it had better not be in the Winter. So we went to Germany last year in February and were planning to go up to Denmark but the weather wasn’t good so we decided to go to the Netherlands instead. But we’re planning another trip to Europe after the whole COVID-19 thing is done. Thanks for the words of appreciation, we definitely felt appreciated in Denmark whenever we were there.
The barrel if it had contained oil, it must be absolutely clean OR filled with water up to just below where you are going to be grinding and making sparks, leaving as little air space as possible. ANY oil vapor in the large barrel area can be ignited by the heat and sparks of grinding and explode VERY powerfully.
I have a news flash for the critics on here, the vast majority of plastic waste (yes even today) is not recyclable and is in fact burned because it cannot possibly all be landfilled. Mkay, you're welcome for the real environmental education you have received today. Also in many places people cook with burned waste because they are poor and they cannot afford any better options. So let's give the man a little break, all right?
... I made a trash burner from an older barrel using just a maul and a hatchet when I was twelve , hate to throw water on your wknd project but I did it in 1/2hr
Burning plastic and any kind of garbage are prohibited in our country as a way to lessen the toxic chemical in the atmosphere...nice to see your video...
The final part of his video left me stunned! I'd say he had everything but a good idea ... I recently joined his channel intrigued by his previous project, so I am amazed at the irresponsibility with which he used and thinks of using this bin transformed into a furnace: even burning plastic waste without any filter !!! I also know - and I am certainly not an expert - that the combustion of plastics releases highly toxic and harmful fumes into the atmosphere, containing, for example, a very dangerous substance for humans such as dioxin. I hope that in the future he will use his latest creation to limit himself to burning only waste from woodworking (which is already a polluting and totally inappropriate practice if it does not have at least the heating of homes as an end), otherwise his conduct could only be defined that criminal !!!
Right about the time I came across your comment I was thinking that maybe someone should force feed him turkey smoked in there, and be sure to use lots of plastic and styrofoam, what was he thinking, or was he thinking at all! lol
He likely paid, enviromental fees, recycle fees, etc when he purchased items so why not burn the stuff he already paid his taxes and fees on, i do it and lots of others do to, no harm can come to the enviroment with its taxes collected😉😂. Besides the dump would just want their cut of what moneys left ina guys pocket as well🔥
Man, why do people just come here to hate on him. He made a burn barrel.....doesn’t mean he’s a tree hugger. I’m glade he is able to make whatever he wants from scratch. Making shit with your own two hands nowadays seems to be a dying art form. Half of the snowflakes today don’t even know how to change a tire or their own oil in their vehicle. Sad if you ask me, how can men call themselves men when they can’t do basic manly things. I say, keep doing what your doing. You are doing a great job. 👍
Great way to safely burn lawn debris and clean building material scrap (natural framing scraps). Keeps the fly away embers from burning the forest down..
Burn barrels have been outlawed in most areas for many years but the biggest problem is because they very thin and along with heat and moisture they have a short life and when they collapse you have a mess to clean up. A motor and brick fire place would be much better. Nice video.
~ I have a beer keg which is Stainless and have had it going since almost the mid "0s". Learned not to use the barrel like he did, as Dad did it that way and those drums eventually inevitably fail.
That's a fantastic way to pollute as long as there's smoke coming out your polluting with burnt plastic and all that lovely ship you have to burn something constantly at like 1,500 degrees before it becomes an incinerator and not just the trash barrel you're going backwards in time
I thought that this is meat smoker. It would be much, much better If you recycled that plastic trash! The smoke from that fire is just as bad as not recycled plastic!
Just a FYI a lot recycling facilities won't take more then half of the crap you put in your recycling bin they just truck what they won't make any money selling off to the land fill. Sorry if I burst your bubble but it's true do some research on your area you might be surprised.
@@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 Have you ever been to a plastic recycling plant or a garbage disposal land fill or how about the waste burning sites? Yeah, you'd think this guy is saving the planet compared to those facilities. There is much worse chemicals used than burning some plastic, also fyi if you make the burning process a little hotter you burn most of the pollutants and will in fact make the process cleaner than your car exhaust.
nice to see people making stuff which serves a purpose out of junk just lying around, and good to see that when you are doing so you were wearing full PPE equipment, tee shirt , shorts and of course steel toe cap flipflops, an accident waiting to happen when you are using angle grinders for cutting steel oil drums and welding them up , still made a good job of it well done
Dang... I sure thought the cool idea was making it a smoker for some good, self smoked grub. Instead it's adding to a problem. Great design, not so much on purpose. That being said , you seem quite skilled my friend.
When you fit the hinges, do not just use sight to align them. Rivet the middle hole of the hinge on one side for both hinges, use your steel ruler to align the edges then rivet the other side of each hinge. After you have the hinges aligned and secured, proceed to rivet all holes. All the comments on pollution and safety in re-using drums also apply.
Hinges are aligned already since they are applied to a solid base before cutting. The only thing you have to worry about is centre alignment over the pre cut, using sloppy hinges and don't use aluminum rivets. They will melt.
I dont think you have to tell this guy anything about building anything or even how to make a video, both excellent. Stop burning plastics, they belong in landfills for a thousand years, or in the ocean
How about a removable screen or Mesh Cover at the top so hot embers in Sparks don’t get airborne and fly To the neighbors grass or yard and start a fire
how did you use a grinder on a empty fuel tank did you clean out with what as i got drums i seek to cut in half is it safe they have been open and airing for week but still smells of fuel.
@Dar thanks for posting. Man, that was great. Especially when they explain that global warming causes rise in co2. I will watch that again. Have a good weekend.
Let me guess. Your movie says it's good to burn plastic. I got to see this misinformation campaign. Unbelievable people still doing what's easy instead of what's right.
Just the barrel ...no lid...no wheels ... no bottom vent ...will burn everything better because it reduces the garbage from the top down rather than burning ferociously from the bottom up. Easy peasy .
I love how you made a perfect smoker for meat yet used it to burn plastic which if you just hopped in your car and drove to your local recycling centre you could of disposed of in the correct environmentally friendly way. Wish that oil drum still had gas in it when you cut into it
Aren’t you in Britain? Huge Fines here in Maryland for burning Garbage, and Building Materials. On top of that, you’re need a Burn Permit, which is only available from after Labor Day to Memorial Day, cost $25.00, must have the burn pile inspected and the permit is good for 60 Days to burn cut brush, and cut brush only. BTW, my Grandfather turned part of his Farm into a Summer Tourism. All us Kids had to do a Summer there. He had 33 gallon barrels cut in half a welded together, and the two halves hinged together. Yep, the Creosoted Post weren’t good enough for him we had to Hot Dip them in Creosote, Fish them into the hinged other Section, then onto a Rebar Rack. If it caught fire, we were supposed to flip the hinged section over onto the dip section.
An high school shop teacher allowed students to use empty oil drums to support material they were cutting with an oxyacetylene cutting torch. When the drum was penetrated with the flame the vapors in the drum exploded, killing two students and the shop teacher. Be careful with empty oil drums!
Hmmm - In Alaska we just find an open ended drum, punch holes in the sides and bottom for air and drainage, put some woven wire screen over the top, sit it on 3 cinder blocks and use it. After a couple of years, when the rust goes through the drum we do it again - without all the fancy smoke stack, wheels, doors and such.
Some of these comments are a bit harsh. It was an interesting video with some useful techniques. I liked the idea of putting the hinges on before the flaps had been completely cut. But seriously, who posts a TH-cam video of themselves burning plastic? Surely that scene was just a wind up?! If not, I thoroughly look forward to your video on how to quickly and easily dispose of waste oil whilst at sea.
Just a few adjustments and you could use it as a smoker - great for chicken, turkey and a host of other great recipes - little charcoal and some apple wood! And to follow others below in burning any poly and most inks it is a huge link to most cancer
I made a home incinerator out of a 275 gallon home heating oil tank. The thing would even melt glass down. Burn a family of 4's garbage for a month before needing to be cleaned out (1 trash can) and hauled away.
I burn everything, plastic, paper, cans, etc. Why pay to have it picked up. At the end of the month I have about a 30 gallon garbage bag of tin cans left to take to the dump. It costs me about a dollar in gas vs, 40 dollars for garbage pickup. I know, your going to ask about the pollution. It's not against the law here and also I DON"T CARE!!!
After all that work it won't last that long as they start rusting out. Also, it is very dangerous when cutting into the top of a barrel that had anything flammable. You should fill it with water first. Cutting into it with something that can ignite them can cause them to build up huge pressure and take off through your yard like a rocket while spinning.
The grate at the bottom with a door to remove ash is a very cool idea. In my country we are supposed to take our burn barrels to the county dump and pay to empty then. Not an easy task if you don't own a truck. I wouldn't burn plastics in the barrel because they emit some pretty nasty chemicals into the environment but for paper and wood this would be very handy.
Pretty fancy burn barrel. We just poke a few holes in the side, (Usually with a revolver) and throw the garbage in to burn it. I figured you were making a smoker/BBQ. Very nice, not critisizing!
Remember everyone. If a barrel has been filled with petrol or similar fuel you should fill it with water before grinding. Otherwise it can become a bomb
I don't do near that much work making my burn barrels. I cut out the top, shoot it full of 12 gauge shotgun slug holes, set it up on concrete blocks and start burning my trash.
Waste of time watching this. Too much effort for a burn barrel. We just always cut the top out of them down home. Oh and not to mention he just gave EPA all the evidence need to fine him.
I was a janitor in a high school and a teacher was demonstrating welding on top of the oil drum instead of a welding table. A pinhole burn through cause Caused an explosion from the fumes in the drum and propelled the lid up through the teachers. I heard the explosion a quarter mile away. The lid caused massive head trauma to the teacher. He lived a few days. The torch tip went through a kids jaw.
Thats it....burn all that plastic...great for the lungs and everything else!
im happy to see you making your contribution to the air pollution keep up the good work your kids will thank you

I have a news flash for the critics on here, the vast majority of plastic waste (yes even today) is not recyclable and is in fact burned because it cannot possibly all be landfilled. Mkay, you're welcome for the real environmental education you have received today. Also in many places people cook with burned waste because they are poor and they cannot afford any better options. So let's give the man a little break, all right?
NO way !!!
Doesn't look like he's "poor" by any stretch of the imagination.
Great he is inventing things for when there will be no population on the surface of the earth.keep it up we need you.
Two hours of torment, two hours of cleaning up... then we point the chimney toward the neighbours! LOL
Chimney that even does not work, so he finally gave up using it. Whata' genious!!!
Tou had engine oil drums right? Did you wash the drum girst before grinding?
... I made a trash burner from an older barrel using just a maul and a hatchet when I was twelve , hate to throw water on your wknd project but I did it in 1/2hr
Burning plastic and any kind of garbage are prohibited in our country as a way to lessen the toxic chemical in the atmosphere...nice to see your video...
The final part of his video left me stunned!
I'd say he had everything but a good idea ...
I recently joined his channel intrigued by his previous project, so I am amazed at the irresponsibility with which he used and thinks of using this bin transformed into a furnace: even burning plastic waste without any filter !!!
I also know - and I am certainly not an expert - that the combustion of plastics releases highly toxic and harmful fumes into the atmosphere, containing, for example, a very dangerous substance for humans such as dioxin.
I hope that in the future he will use his latest creation to limit himself to burning only waste from woodworking (which is already a polluting and totally inappropriate practice if it does not have at least the heating of homes as an end), otherwise his conduct could only be defined that criminal !!!
Right about the time I came across your comment I was thinking that maybe someone should force feed him turkey smoked in there, and be sure to use lots of plastic and styrofoam, what was he thinking, or was he thinking at all! lol
He likely paid, enviromental fees, recycle fees, etc when he purchased items so why not burn the stuff he already paid his taxes and fees on, i do it and lots of others do to, no harm can come to the enviroment with its taxes collected😉😂. Besides the dump would just want their cut of what moneys left ina guys pocket as well🔥
Bravo la gestion des déchets ...
Would have been better as a meat smoker.
Same.
That's what I thought it was going to be.
Then all the meat would taste like burned plastic
It is a smoker ... a People Meat smoker
Man, why do people just come here to hate on him. He made a burn barrel.....doesn’t mean he’s a tree hugger. I’m glade he is able to make whatever he wants from scratch. Making shit with your own two hands nowadays seems to be a dying art form. Half of the snowflakes today don’t even know how to change a tire or their own oil in their vehicle. Sad if you ask me, how can men call themselves men when they can’t do basic manly things. I say, keep doing what your doing. You are doing a great job. 👍
Great way to safely burn lawn debris and clean building material scrap (natural framing scraps). Keeps the fly away embers from burning the forest down..
Burn barrels have been outlawed in most areas for many years but the biggest problem is because they very thin and along with heat and moisture they have a short life and when they collapse you have a mess to clean up. A motor and brick fire place would be much better. Nice video.
~ I have a beer keg which is Stainless and have had it going since almost the mid "0s". Learned not to use the barrel like he did, as Dad did it that way and those drums eventually inevitably fail.
? We had a barrel stove upright in our workshop for the ten years I was there burning wood and coal, last I heard it was still going strong.
That's a fantastic way to pollute as long as there's smoke coming out your polluting with burnt plastic and all that lovely ship you have to burn something constantly at like 1,500 degrees before it becomes an incinerator and not just the trash barrel you're going backwards in time
I thought that this is meat smoker. It would be much, much better If you recycled that plastic trash! The smoke from that fire is just as bad as not recycled plastic!
Just a FYI a lot recycling facilities won't take more then half of the crap you put in your recycling bin they just truck what they won't make any money selling off to the land fill. Sorry if I burst your bubble but it's true do some research on your area you might be surprised.
You can't smoke meat in a barrel that had chemicals in it. As for burning plastic, I do it at least twice a week when I burn my trash.
A MEAT smoker...from a oil barrel?
@@Momentaryghost I'd rather it in a landfill than have the toxic fumes in the air.
Your neighbours must love you
How long did the pop rivets last for
Take my thumbs down for wasting my time. Show the final product in the first 10 seconds. Then show us how to make it.
Not sure what to say, glad to see your planet friendly.
Much rather see that plastic recycled .... not burned. Plastic gives off some noxious fumes when burnt.
Like the friendly sarcasm.
Don't burn plastic, fool
@@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 Have you ever been to a plastic recycling plant or a garbage disposal land fill or how about the waste burning sites? Yeah, you'd think this guy is saving the planet compared to those facilities. There is much worse chemicals used than burning some plastic, also fyi if you make the burning process a little hotter you burn most of the pollutants and will in fact make the process cleaner than your car exhaust.
I always scroll ahead on all of these videos. The only thing that I care about is what the hell is it. I really don't care about how it's made.
nice to see people making stuff which serves a purpose out of junk just lying around, and good to see that when you are doing so you were wearing full PPE equipment, tee shirt , shorts and of course steel toe cap flipflops, an accident waiting to happen when you are using angle grinders for cutting steel oil drums and welding them up , still made a good job of it well done
One great POLLUTER
NEVER BURN PLASTIC. RECYCLE Dude.
Dang... I sure thought the cool idea was making it a smoker for some good, self smoked grub. Instead it's adding to a problem. Great design, not so much on purpose. That being said , you seem quite skilled my friend.
What is that tool at 1:41 called?
When you fit the hinges, do not just use sight to align them. Rivet the middle hole of the hinge on one side for both hinges, use your steel ruler to align the edges then rivet the other side of each hinge. After you have the hinges aligned and secured, proceed to rivet all holes.
All the comments on pollution and safety in re-using drums also apply.
If it works, it's right. It's a garbage barrel after all.....
Hinges are aligned already since they are applied to a solid base before cutting. The only thing you have to worry about is centre alignment over the pre cut, using sloppy hinges and don't use aluminum rivets. They will melt.
I dont think you have to tell this guy anything about building anything or even how to make a video, both excellent. Stop burning plastics, they belong in landfills for a thousand years, or in the ocean
What kind of marker are you using.. thanks
wtf!, a person of this engineering skill should know not to burn that stuff. Where is your head boy?
Look at how he’s dressed then ask again.
why can't he burn it .
so you have to be dressed a certain way to work at home.
Great to see you burning plastics
How about a removable screen or Mesh Cover at the top so hot embers in Sparks don’t get airborne and fly To the neighbors grass or yard and start a fire
little tip , raiser bottom door 3-4 inch and add sand in bottom of barrel , will extend life of barrel
Damn bro, you wasted 11 minutes of my time. Why not give the plastics to the recyclers so it can be reused. Don't burn it!
Scam
Recycling is a scam use your labor to enrich corporate America
great environmental invention !!
What the heck is the pipe even for smoke just comes out all over
how did you use a grinder on a empty fuel tank did you clean out with what as i got drums i seek to cut in half is it safe they have been open and airing for week but still smells of fuel.
Are you crazy burning plastic ? You have no idea ! Unbelievable
Roy I thought the same thing, and wrote him something simillar. He is an ignorant fool!
@Dar thanks for posting. Man, that was great. Especially when they explain that global warming causes rise in co2. I will watch that again. Have a good weekend.
@@kopriva007 people like these they try to fool others. You tube is not good encourage to have viewers minutes
Let me guess. Your movie says it's good to burn plastic. I got to see this misinformation campaign. Unbelievable people still doing what's easy instead of what's right.
@violetroseish better than breathing it. What ignorance.
thanks for the tip
too be honest i thought he was making a barbie or a smoker. really deflated
I second this comment
G
Oh,man same here quite disappointed..:-(
Just the barrel ...no lid...no wheels ... no bottom vent ...will burn everything better because it reduces the garbage from the top down rather than burning ferociously from the bottom up.
Easy peasy .
I love how you made a perfect smoker for meat yet used it to burn plastic which if you just hopped in your car and drove to your local recycling centre you could of disposed of in the correct environmentally friendly way. Wish that oil drum still had gas in it when you cut into it
Agreed I was thinking the same thing.
Aren’t you in Britain? Huge Fines here in Maryland for burning Garbage, and Building Materials. On top of that, you’re need a Burn Permit, which is only available from after Labor Day to Memorial Day, cost $25.00, must have the burn pile inspected and the permit is good for 60 Days to burn cut brush, and cut brush only. BTW, my Grandfather turned part of his Farm into a Summer Tourism. All us Kids had to do a Summer there. He had 33 gallon barrels cut in half a welded together, and the two halves hinged together. Yep, the Creosoted Post weren’t good enough for him we had to Hot Dip them in Creosote, Fish them into the hinged other Section, then onto a Rebar Rack. If it caught fire, we were supposed to flip the hinged section over onto the dip section.
An high school shop teacher allowed students to use empty oil drums to support material they were cutting with an oxyacetylene cutting torch. When the drum was penetrated with the flame the vapors in the drum exploded, killing two students and the shop teacher. Be careful with empty oil drums!
Fill it with water and all is good!
Better yet don’t waste water and just hook a hose up to exhaust from an engine. No oxygen no fire.
At least the shop teacher will nor face criminal charges.
Hmmm - In Alaska we just find an open ended drum, punch holes in the sides and bottom for air and drainage, put some woven wire screen over the top, sit it on 3 cinder blocks and use it. After a couple of years, when the rust goes through the drum we do it again - without all the fancy smoke stack, wheels, doors and such.
I seriously thought you were turning it into a bbq barrel! Waste of time and that isn't good for our environment!
Rick Najera unless one day u have noone to collect your garbage,could come in handy
People in general are not good for the environment.
rick im with you though it was going to be something useful not something to burn my trash
✅ right
Environment is just fine bud, don’t get sucked into the bullshit that they feed you.
Some of these comments are a bit harsh. It was an interesting video with some useful techniques. I liked the idea of putting the hinges on before the flaps had been completely cut. But seriously, who posts a TH-cam video of themselves burning plastic? Surely that scene was just a wind up?! If not, I thoroughly look forward to your video on how to quickly and easily dispose of waste oil whilst at sea.
Just a few adjustments and you could use it as a smoker - great for chicken, turkey and a host of other great recipes - little charcoal and some apple wood! And to follow others below in burning any poly and most inks it is a huge link to most cancer
Nothing like a little plastic smoked chicken on a warm summer evening........hmmmm, good!
He made an incinerator and used POP rivets for the hinges and the bolt, the temperature could get high enough to melt the Aluminium rivets.
they surely will !
It was so brilliant it blinded him! :D
The EPA man needs to pay you and that barrel a visit
Wow, a burn barrel. Awesome idea.
8:17 how did that masonry bit work for you on that mild steel? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bwaaaaah. I wonder what it feels like to catch the hairs on your toe knuckles on fire?
I made a home incinerator out of a 275 gallon home heating oil tank. The thing would even melt glass down. Burn a family of 4's garbage for a month before needing to be cleaned out (1 trash can) and hauled away.
I wonder if anyone noticed him burning plastic?
I burn everything, plastic, paper, cans, etc. Why pay to have it picked up. At the end of the month I have about a 30 gallon garbage bag of tin cans left to take to the dump. It costs me about a dollar in gas vs, 40 dollars for garbage pickup. I know, your going to ask about the pollution. It's not against the law here and also I DON"T CARE!!!
@@willwade1101 piss on the epa and Democrats I burn my trash too👍
Ņćvv
Yeppers
only 3.3k so far...
A lot of effort for a trash barrel we always just removed the to cut vents in bottom and used a screen to prevent sparks from flying out.
I wonder why there is so much smog and I can't see the mountains in the distance any more?
blame china liberal
After all that work it won't last that long as they start rusting out. Also, it is very dangerous when cutting into the top of a barrel that had anything flammable. You should fill it with water first. Cutting into it with something that can ignite them can cause them to build up huge pressure and take off through your yard like a rocket while spinning.
The grate at the bottom with a door to remove ash is a very cool idea. In my country we are supposed to take our burn barrels to the county dump and pay to empty then. Not an easy task if you don't own a truck. I wouldn't burn plastics in the barrel because they emit some pretty nasty chemicals into the environment but for paper and wood this would be very handy.
Pretty fancy burn barrel. We just poke a few holes in the side, (Usually with a revolver) and throw the garbage in to burn it. I figured you were making a smoker/BBQ. Very nice, not critisizing!
We used a sharp pick axe. I like your idea better.
i thought he was going to build something USEFUL .....like a STILL .....for making WHISKEY !!!
Oh God, don't tempt him!
I thought it was gonna be a meat smoker not for plastic... kinda hurt my feelings
No, you can't do that in Europe. No whiskey distilling; it contributes to climate change.
@ Bob... Best left to an expert in coveralls, y'all.
@@gilmanIII Anybody to drunk to sing.....has to drive !!!
What kind of marking pen is that ?? Thanks
I want to see a vid of when the EPA pays him a visit.
His location says U.S. but he is not in US
@@yeagerxp There is a russian Licence tag on the car :-D
Hope he's not in California, 10 to 20 yrs in San Quentin
@@johnjohnon8767 Or Alcatraz even though they closed it they'll send him there anyway!!
@@yeagerxp .animalle
How did you clean the barrels out? Like what did you use? Does regular dish soap do it or what?
Well, Eugene, that is a very stupid idea in these days! I hope one of your neighbors turns you in. That is a big fine!
Remember everyone. If a barrel has been filled with petrol or similar fuel you should fill it with water before grinding. Otherwise it can become a bomb
A very good invention... For Polluting the air! 🔥😷
Thanks from Slam Bang fishing lodge west coast of Vancouver island Kyuquot sound we specialize in good times
I will never ever watch another "how to" video of a man in flip flops for the rest of my life. 👎
Unless they r Asian.
Hey mate, when you cut the barrel, is it safe and won’t burn the engine oil?
I don't do near that much work making my burn barrels. I cut out the top, shoot it full of 12 gauge shotgun slug holes, set it up on concrete blocks and start burning my trash.
Please note make sure the drum you cut has been washed, if it carried chemicals, it might explode many people have been killed by exploding drums.
Waste of time watching this. Too much effort for a burn barrel. We just always cut the top out of them down home. Oh and not to mention he just gave EPA all the evidence need to fine him.
What kind of welder?
Seriously ? Burning a plastic ? Bad idea :(
Jeremeusz waaaaaaa!
Why the cone cutter when a drill bit will do? Doesn't blunting the smaller sizes render the cone unusable?Can they be sharpened?
Tree huggers don’t burn plastic! I’m sure the neighbors love inhaling toxic fumes from this guys house! Lucky for him he’s not my neighbor!
I had a neighbor like you once I told him to go over there somewhere and STFU.
I was a janitor in a high school and a teacher was demonstrating welding on top of the oil drum instead of a welding table. A pinhole burn through cause Caused an explosion from the fumes in the drum and propelled the lid up through the teachers. I heard the explosion a quarter mile away. The lid caused massive head trauma to the teacher. He lived a few days. The torch tip went through a kids jaw.
I fast forward and thought great! He's making a smoker! Oh a trash barrel, never mind.
lol. I was thinking the same thing😃
Me too, Lot of trouble for a incinerator? Did not think anyone used them anymore. Then to burn plastic. Disgraceful.
@@baobo67 right we burn paper but common plastic
With all that plastic it's definitely a smoker. LOL 😆
