What to do with an old oil drum. So I bough an old oil drum and now I'm modifying it so I can use it to burn up all the leaves left by autumn.

I used to use full sized oil barrels for garden waste burning bins, But here in the wet and windy UK, If you're not going to bring it inside during the winter they rot out before the following year. Then one day while having a poke about in my friendly local scrap metal dealers yard, I found an old vertical compressor tank. It was about 600mm across and 900mm deep. It was too rusty for anyone to risk using it as a pressure vessel anymore, But once I cut the top off and drilled the lower 1/3 with a shedload of 30mm holes it became the best garden/household waste incinerator I've ever had. I made it about 10 years ago now, and it's finally starting to get a little thin in a few places, But I reckon it's easily still got at least another 2 or 3 years of use in it before I have to look for another tank. It's a bit heavy, But still not unmanageably so when it comes to emptying out the ash, and that's a slight inconvenience I'm perfectly willing to overlook for the benefit of not having to prat about making new oil drum burners every damn year. Old compressor tanks turn up pretty cheap if they're damaged, rusty, or in that "Too big for a hobbyist, But too small for a company" category, so I'd definatly recommend having a think about grabbing one when you need to make your next incinerator.

@@Rolingmetal I heard ages back from a Dutch guy I did some work for that clogs are one of very few pieces of unusual historical national clothing that's still actually routinely worn by a nation. He pointed out that no modern German would go to work wearing lederhosen, and few Frenchmen would go out wearing a beret these days, but a lot of Dutch people still wear clogs as everyday shoes because a well made pair are comfortable, last for years, are easy to look after, and can protect more of your foot from every day dropped items than simple steel toecap shoes. I only brought up the subject because he had a well worn pair next to his kitchen door. It struck me as odd because they looked too damaged to be ornaments, and in an odd place if they were........... Turned out that since he'd moved to the UK and his English wife didn't like him wearing clogs as every day footwear anymore, they'd now become his "Gardening Clogs". :)

Out of interest, Roughly where abouts in the world are you? I've heard that some places in the states won't even allow you to use a barbecue in your own garden (That sounds a tad draconian to me. Only a few small steps away from the police breaking down your door for watching unapproved comedy shows), But here in the UK it's more along the lines of "Even if what you're burning is not strictly allowed, the police will ignore you doing it unless someone complains". A few times I've not had my bin out waiting at the curb for the twice monthly rubbish collection, and I've ended up needing to burn all the household waste I can for the next 2 weeks because if I didn't, when the bin was finally emptied, all the accumulated rubbish from that time would just fill it up again in one go ! Some of the stuff I incinerated wasn't strictly allowed to be burnt at a home address (Plastics off raw meat mainly), But as I said, If no one complains it's not a problem.
