Incinerator Built Out Of 250-Gal. Butane Tank
 ✖  |
"The Oklahoma drought of 2005/2006 resulted in a statewideĉopen burning ban for several months. We live on a farm and are quite dependent on burning our burnable waste and had quite a build-up while waiting for the ban to be lifted. To solve the problem, I built an incinerator out of an old 250-gal. butane tank," says Wayne Hardenbergh, Lone Wolf, Okla.
One end of the tank was cut out to provide a base, with openings cut in the sides at the bottom to provide air for combustion and cleanout. A 2-in. screen cloth was welded on near the base to form the bottom of the combustion chamber. An 8-in. dia. metal pipe was welded to the opposite end of the tank. A 3/4-in. screen was installed where the pipe enters the tank along with a 1/2-in. screen at the top of the pipe to stop any floating embers. A hinged door cut into one side of the tank is used to load the combustion chamber.
"After inspection by a representative of our local fire department, we were able to catch up in a hurry on our burning of waste and have safely burned such items ever since," says Hardenbergh.
