Stock Tank Makes A Nifty Incinerator
 ✖  |
John Mattison turned a stock tank into an inexpensive yet effective incinerator. Living in rural Wisconsin, he burns his household paper trash and he’s never been a fan of burn barrels that don’t last long. Instead, he purchased a galvanized stock tank at his local farm supply store for $129 along with patio bricks to place it on.
He cut out an opening on one end, drilled holes in the other end for draft, and placed the tank upside down on the pavers.
“I added angle metal with screws to prevent the seams from coming loose and put a stone on top to hold it down in the wind,” Mattison says.
Typically, he pushes half a dozen grocery bags of garbage through the opening with a stick and sets it on fire.
“It burns very hot,” he says, so there aren’t many ashes left. He figures he may have to rake out ashes annually at the most.
