Home Incinerator Tips

• Use a metal barrel in good condition.
• Place 14 gauge steel with 1/4” holes along bottom side of barrel for air supply
• Punch holes in barrel and shove steel rods or pipes through barrel as this will hold up burning materials and provide a good, clean, fast burn.
• Punch holes near the bottom of the barrel no larger than 1 inch in diameter to provide a draft through the barrel.
• Maintain and clear at least a 5 foot area around the barrel in case the fire would escape the barrel.
• Place a weighted screen on top of the barrel to prevent ashes from blowing out.
