Ask JohnPac to order you a brand new unlined open-top drum.

Believe me when I tell you Bro that you do not want to try and get the lining out of a lined drum. That stuff is freaking bullet proof and a major PIA to get out. I'll never do it again.

Please DO NOT use any drum that contained any chemical. The chemical actually gets into the pores of the metal and released as you cook. No amount of washing will remove it all, and no one knows how many times it needs to be heated to have released all chemical. It simply is not worth it. You probably will not get sick or ever know you've been expossed, but that strange cancer that you or your kids or grand kids in the future, may just have been that exposure. Many don't know this, so I thought I'd pipe in.
