Well fellas they are done and are not galvanized. However what will become of the painted exterior? Not that I am concerned, just curious. By the way I have stated before that I used a 4" piece of thick walled PVC capped at the ends and sawn in half as tubs to pour boiling water into them. This worked well for a half dozen barrels but did not stand the test of time. The heat caused the unsupported middle of the tube to bow out and caused uneven coverage. At the time it looked good but in the end a failed experiment.

The paint on mine is covered with soot now. Not sure if any of it burned off, but most of it is still there where one can see through the soot.

I am boiling a pair now as I type. I did notice that there is a clear coating inside them that is starting to boil off.

Yeah, like a clear coat. Not all areas just where the heat is most concentrated. It didn't seem to do any harm. The barrels are lookin' good.

Looks like a crossed chisels setup, be sure the parakeets have some fresh air if any are about, hehe...

Thanks for the stars! I feel like one of the gang now. No "Keets" here. Just Airedales.

Hey even I got another one !
Someone must be feeling generous. I would have thought I might have accrued a triple digit deficit of stars - black holes if you will....
