Smoker

[mullinsb2000]

Neighbor has just replaced low-boy hot water heater. Is the inner tank suitable for making a smoker? Years back, I heard something about the metal was dangerous, Is that an old wife's tale?

If it is galvanized I would not want to cook food in it.

seen them used by poor country folk as culverts under the driveway before , and we made bar b q pits out of 55 gallon drums , but never heard of a smoker out of one before ....

I heard not to make stills out of old old water heaters. As they may have possible lead containment. But what do I know?
