[Cob] Rocket Stove -new metal?

[Dirtcheapbuilder-Charmaine]

Also, besides sheet metal in a scrapyard, there may be  the inner drums 
from small washers and driers, these are steel...could they work?  any 
non painted,  tub/barrel shaped metal?

We have a large metal salvage yard here in Arcata CA,   but many people 
may not be close to one, or worth the gas to drive to.

In most hardware shops  they sell large metal tubes for air ducts and 
such, and sheet metal shops may bend and sell a large piece to your 
specs. Might be worth it.

  Could a new metal duct/tube be used?  Could  you burn off any  factory 
coatings in an open fire first?

   curious  metal-seeking minds want to know!

FWIW.
