Barrel for Pasteurization
    #17551312 - 01/15/13 09:58 AM (11 years, 14 days ago)

Hello All,

I'm looking to get a barrel, drum, cask, can... in which to pasteurize substrate, and a propane burner with which to heat it. I would like to know, where is a good source to purchase such a barrel (roughly ~55 gallons) and/or burner?  Also, what must the barrel be made out of so as to be safe to use (inert)?

Thanks all,
SB

Well thanks for all the suggestions, lots of good ideas.  I ended up finding a good barrel dealer out of Tennessee.  I talked to the owner on the phone and he said the open top stainless barrels have never had anything toxic in them.  They've only had sugar cane and corn husks in them (just what I intend to put in them anyway!).  He said he has sold several to mushroom farmers in different parts of the country.  I have been looking all of the internet for dealers and have talked to many over the past few days but this was the cheapest and it was only $41.50 to ship to NY.
To future barrel seekers, I recommend Bubba's!

I like the turkey roaster-idea because I have gift cards to Gander Mt. and they sell them.  Does anyone know what size would be appropriate?  One [fish fryer] says 41,000 BTUs.  Will that do the trick?  I don't understand how that measurement is meaningful because it is apparently a unit of energy not energy/time, and I want to know, if it will heat 45 gallons of water in a reasonable time. Can anyone tell me?  This is the one actually: Fish fryer

For future reference, I discovered that a BTU rating means BTUs per hour.  I ended up with this burner:

Backyard Pro Single Burner Outdoor Patio Stove

It burns at 185,000 BTU/hr, which is sufficient, it still takes quite awhile though.
