galvinized metal

[burhead]

Ive been looking for a tank or barrel so i could make a wood stove for my fur shed. My uncle has a galvenized metal tank i could have but he said it would be poisenous. If i burn fires in it several times outside would it get all the bad fumes out or is it just a bad idea to use that kind of matal at all?

Do not use anything galvanized it is poison when burned! Find a regular steel barrel, people around here sell them to burn trash in all the time so you should be able to find one.

Depending how big of an area you have to heat, there are a lot of video's on u tube. Some of them are made from old propane tanks. They would not be galvanized and have a thick wall old243
