apologies if this is in the wrong place.
Would any of you guys n gals know where I could possibly pick up a wooden barrel,the kind distiller\'s/brewer\'s use.basically thinking of building a cold smoker this spring to do fish/meat /cheeses etc have all the info but not the barrel.if I can\'t get a barrel I was thinking of a tall clothing locker might work,dunno yet tho just a thought...cheers

There is a place at lamsley, at the south end of the team valley,gateshead that sells them.

On a small road called \"coach road\"

not as pretty, but I\'ve used an old fridge! Strip out everything, make a hole for the flue in the bottom, make a few cork sized holes in the top, put corks in these holes, so you can take them out to adjust flow/smoke intensity. 6 to 8 foot of stainless flue liner, to the fire box! not as pretty as an ok barrel but fire proof and effective

cheers mark another idea for the pot.
