just a tish NE of central ND
NO TORCH ON DRUMS, Air chisel is my choice and even then I use caution.....Oil and acetylene torch can make it explode. I know a guy who did that. once.( and only once)Live to tell about it.
Once the top is off so it isn't a closed container anymore , then you can torch it. OIL will still make fire and mixed with oxygen will enhance the oil fire.
