fantastic thread i was gonna buy a woodburner for the garage too not now!!

 

That smoker one looks good as well, when i worked in a fish farm years ago we use to smoke the fish with chipped whiskey barrels, they were very popular and tasted very nice.

Just flushing out the cylinder with water is not good enough.

The gas adsorbs to the surface of the metal & then vaporizes when you start cutting.

When cutting any container that has ever held a flammable substance it should be thoroughly cleaned and then filled with water to as near the cutting level as possible.

 

I know of a case of a welder killed when working on a small oil storage tank.

People had gone inside & thoroughly cleaned it with pressure hoses first.

Yet when he started welding it vaporized an explosive gas/air mixture.

The blast blew him out the door as a fireball.

gas bottles are also made using galvanised steel,precautions needed when cutting/welding, i welded about 10 big bottles together to 'bridge a ditch' whist making a roadway!!!!!!! far cheaper than concrete pipe!!!!! added a few internal strengtheners, it has loaded 8 wheelers over it no prob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
