I think I need something with a removable top that can be replaced an will
seal well, that is if I understand all of the instructions for wood
gasifiers. I can't even find a steel 5 gallon paint can anywhere (probably
too small anyway). I thought about using a propane tank but it would be a
lot more work. I've asked all over town for steel drums and someone
directed me to the auto salvage place. When I asked one guy he acted like
'why the hell would they have one of those' and then the other guy said "we
just sold the last one." I guess I'm getting closer. Hmmm, I didn't try
the paint store yet...
