Yehhhaaah! I've made a pocket rocket lid for burning barrels, and as everyone knows, this doesn't work well. Few months back, i was explaining to someone at permies that i was sure i could burn the paint easily doing this, and covering the barrel with rockwool  Within 15 minutes the barrel was all red, nearing orange. The rockwool was red too. Then the paper of the rockwool started burning, and the fumes from the paint were catching light escaping the rockwool What fun that was!    |

I've NEVER had trouble burning off the barrels pocket-rocket stylie... 'Course, I get the stove hot and then pour in waste veggie oil!! Very impressive! Also totally gross, smoky nasty toxic ick.. I don't think I'd try that with the rockwool, probably wouldn't take the heat or concentrate too much into the barrel and maybe ruin it. |

Well, i can have nearly endless supply of thoses York barrels I'll see what i can do with veggie oil There's one prob thought, the rockwool is dead afterwards. It doesn't stand the heat. Tho, it can be used to insulate something else if contained. |

Well, here's what it looks like after being burned. Quite weird anything there's still paint on it. It was glowing red! All of it.  |

Maybe the residue is water soluble?

Maybe the residue is water soluble? I'll have to see. There's some spots i think it started spalling under the paint It comes off, leaving nice blue metal. Shame it didn't do this on the whole surface. |
