“Project: To build a replacement for the ugly rusted and burned out oil drum we have been using for a incinerator.
Lets face it when it come to recycling we all end up with bio mass that unless you live beside your recycling plant just become a nightmare to get rid off, my nearest center is 5 miles away in a different council district, the one I should be using is almost 12 miles away so anything that I can safely burn gets burnt. I wanted to make something that would do for burning paper cardboard and garden waste, but would be nice enough to be used a heater.
We have been using an old 45 gallon steel drum as a make shift incinerator which is almost burned out and rusted to bits. Its good point was it had a large capacity for burning, but this was also its bad point was that the large capacity meant you just bunged big stuff in and it tended to go out as it was badly loaded or be very smoky…”
