Dallas Steel Drum Inc
Address: 2214 Singleton Blvd, Dallas, TX 75212
Phone:(214) 638-7027

Bought some last year for $27 (on sale). I think they regularly go for around $35. Even if they were $40 I would pay it. Super clean, fresh paint, no liners, all steel with a proper steel lid and lock ring. When you get ready to build, just start building. No fire, no drills, no hazmat mask, no ibuprofen from a wrenched back, just start building! :D

We used to pay $20 for the lined ones from a salvage yard. Never going to go down that road again!

I've still got two drums, in Huntsville, that are free to a good home. Someone said they wanted them, three weeks ago, and I haven't heard from them since.

I get mine for free just ask next time you get you oil changed the transmission fluid comes on a 55 gal drum and is very clean when you get them. Try small family owned places they are the best. BTW no lid you have to cut the top and connect a ring and use a weber lid.
