Anyone know where to get a 55 gallon drum for UDS?

[made2order]

I am looking for a source for a 55 gallon steel drum 16 gauge @ 60lbs UNLINED. I am in L.A. and the cheapest I found so far is ~ $212 shipped from Amazon.

This is for an Ugly Drum Smoker. I found many drums @ $20 but they are only 20 gauge to 18 gauge drum bodies. I also don't trust what hazardous material might have been inside of them. Many of the so called food grade ones have an epoxy lining.

Thanks for any ideas on a source.

Graingers has them from $153.00 and up

I just tried the link and it goes to 5 gallon for some reason. just type 55 gallon drum in the search and it should come up. (not sure what the shipping would be)

Check water well drillers or drilling supply companies in your area.
I have paid $80 to 85 for new steel open top drums up here, sorry don't know what gauge.
