One of my best friends Owns a Powder Coating shop in Paramount.  He trades me powder coating for food.  I also built him one and he's getting pretty good at it now.

I love the color, although it isn't the right shade of red.  ASU!

Sweet!  But the angle of the pic has me hearing, "Exterminate!  Exterminate!" In my head.  Sorry closet dr. Who fan.

Pretty cool! I've played around with an old coworker's - his didn't have a ball valve, just a sheet metal slider over a cut out in the drum for airflow. Turned out some good grub.

I've seen some food grade drums floating around CL here but haven't had the urge to try my own hand at construction.

Congrats on the milestone!
