Tired of the galvanised incinerators that shed their dripping tin rust protection the first time you fire them up, then dissolve into rust within a matter of months? Well I was! I wanted an oil drum like I had seen on so many building sites and other places, but these are hard to find and come with contamination problems. I was pleased to find that these drums have been used for food purposes - mine still has the 'chopped tomatoes' label - and so have no contamination. They are larger than I expected. I was worried these would be small drums, but not so. Perfect size for the garden. Mine also came drilled with holes for ventilation and drainage, which pleased me and I thought I would struggle to drill myself. Strong steel construction, I expect it will last much longer than the galvanised incinerators, and for very little more in terms of cost!Read full review

This is a truly amazing incinerator, 6x6 shed broken down and burnt. The heat was tremendous turning the drum cherry red in places. Once cooled down drum was fine. Fantastic for burning garden waste etc easy to clean out tipped on side used a shovel. Highly recommend this product.

Solid drum not the usual weak thin steel or tin that some others are made out off. Comes with side holes to allow air flow to ensure fire stays lit. Bottom of drum has some fine holes to let water out to prevent a collection that could cause damage. I would recommend buying a cover for the top and a raised grill platform for what you are burning but overall was very happy with this.

Good buy. Only a few air inlet holes but burns well once fire gets started. Doesn't seem to matter not having a lid; obviously stand at safe distance. Does as described seem to be made of thicker metal than most items sold as incinerators. Colour immaterial since paint burns off quickly. Helps clear garden waste which won't compost well or would need journey to council tip.

Super fast delivery and strong drum. Air holes pre drilled. Have used galvanized incinerators before but they don't last long. This one will. Am going to order another.
