[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3783839, member: 5412"] Impressed! Those drums could be used for emergency water/food storage as well. The only issue I see is getting the corn out when they get low with the smaller opening. I typically use a small 1-2 gallon bucket to get inside the drum and fill a 5 gallon bucket that is then carried to the feeder and put in until full. Labor intensive it is. If you have your rodents under control, go for it I'd say. My drums are stored about 50' away from the feeders. Whenever I visit during hunting season or after, I always open the tops if it's a sunny day. It's amazing how much moisture comes out of that sealed drum. You can feel it on your face. I'll leave the top off with the sun on it and take care of some other chores before coming back to stir it around some and put the lids back on. Mine are not a full 55 gallon drum. I think they are 48 gallon or something like that. Catalyst comes in them to the local refinery to be used in the refining processes. The catalyst is in plastic bags that get pulled out and the drums are discarded. Galvanized lids/clamp seals and fresh paint on the inside. [/QUOTE]
