I found it worked on several size buckets/drums as long you have them sealed tight and a good shop vac. Hope this helps

It must be air tight and what ever container you use cannot cave in from the vacuum

I have found that a 5 gal plastic bucket (Lowe's has them for a couple dollars) works very well. The high sides keeps the meat contained. From there, I place the meat in pans for serving, additional smoking, or adding sauce. Don't shred too long or meat turns to mush. Good luck!

Where do you have the bucket kept at? Durning the winter I had it at 78-82 in a 55 degree garage it had no problem keeping up but also started it the water around 100 degrees

At Wal-Mart they have a blue 5 gal. Paint bucket and the lid will go on...mine did...

i drilled a 3/4" hole in a lowes food grade bucket and it worked fine, it has not leaked, the gasket that it comes with is somewhat cone shaped so it fit well.

This is designed for use with galvanized metal waterers, never use with plastic ones!!!

I had a lot of trouble with that also. I cut some slits on edge of lid so it would flare out further--not the best solution. They are still very hard to open and close. I have had buckets like this before and not had as much trouble.

I only used it to store 24 lbs of dog food. It was just over half way full. If you are keeping this container in a place where ants have access, I would not recommend using this container. I recently got rid of mine, because for the third time, ants made their way in. Not thru the screw top, but thru the plastic piece that holds the screw top. I even duct taped it shut, to no avail.

I use a heavy stainless steel stock pot. This works far better than a plastic bucket.

Probably not. You might try a metal drain cover that has smaller holes. The ones on this one are probably going to let food go through.

I just jeep mine in this bin until I move them to my regular compost bin. Not sure if it would compost in the stainless bin, but maybe? Mines just a holding tank until it goes outside.

We use a 55 gallon but it hangs over the sides. For a better fit I would guess a 30 gallon size would better fit

Yes you can use it on the 30 gal it is 4 x 4 1/2" x 18"" they are Extremely Quiet. so take measurements. Iron??

I used a configuration I found on the web where the guy mounted his vac under the dust deputy. The lid takes a lot of flex and I'm not sure how well the standard 5 gal lid would do. For me, the hose fittings and the buckets were worth it. I tossed the rest of the mounting stuff. Here is what my version looks like.

I use mine on a cheap Lowe's bucket. I think it was $5 or less and just says "Lowe's" on it.

I use 30 gallon trash bags. I fold the bag over the edge and put the lid over the folded edges. It works great and holds a lot!

i have not figured that one out yet, what i have been thinking of doing is place a small submersible heater in the 5 Gal water bucket or if you come off a spicket you could use a heat tape then wrap it with foam insulation and gorilla tape.hope this helps you.
