I found these on Craigslist. I have not purchased these. They are local to where I live. I'm curious as to how much leaf one could hold. Also, I was thinking two of these could possibly be clamped together - one on top of the other. I'm sure I've seen these type of clamps before. The top has two closeable holes (with caps). I was thinking of Deluxestogies Cozy Can.
The bottom of the top barrel can be drilled out and/or fitted with a fan in the center, with holes around the outer area for directional circulation. Air flow up for fan and the outer - spaced holes would have a flow downward to the sides of the can (inside of course). Add Crock to the bottom. Fit a water heater thermostat.
They are 55 Gallon Barrels that have been used once for sugar and corn syrup (23" x 35" with removable lid and lockable clamp).
Trying to stay a few steps ahead. I don't wanna wait till harvest to build a kiln. Yeah, I'm gonna be impatient when it comes to wanting to smoke my own.
If these can't be stacked then it may be possible to connect them side to side with pipes, but I do like the stacked version idea. Given that the circulation may be improved due to heat rising and less space will be taken up. These could also be wrapped with insulation, like the "Cozy Can". By the way, Deluxestoggie, I think that was the perfect name for your build. The price of these are 2 for $50.00 and are food grade.
