Free Fuel oil tank!! It's one of those that used to common for every home that used oil to heat. Scrap yard wouldn't take it, I can't cut it up no torch. It's been for years. (Yes I know the danger of cuttin it up, it's dry as a bone and been washed out with water a couple of times) Make a good grill, or ? I'm in central Indiana, east of Indy

Put a pint of diesel into it, stuff the opening with a clump of toilet paper with a 3 foot tail, light it, move away, let it burn until burnt out; take your torch and have at it. I have done it over 1100 times.

And after you do what Mitch says, you could fill it with water for a little extra insurance while you use that torch.
