I was going to go the 81mm Ammo can for a quench tank method, and still may.. but a 5 gallon steel bucket with a lid and w/ a 5 gallon drum heater looks like an attractive option. I can get one on ebay for $10 + shipping and I'm happy with the price as well..
My concern is these are DOT (department of transportation) buckets with a chemically resistant paint lining. I'm concerned about contaminating my engineered quenchant (P50) somehow with this paint.
Anyone know what this lining is or if I have any reason to be concerned? I wouldn't think the oil will get hot enough to dissolve the paint but I'm not sure, so I'm asking.
I'll link to the listing, maybe a picture will help identify.

Edit: I found out the buckets are brand new and have not had any chemicals in them aside from the coating. They look mighty attractive, if nobody raises any concerns I think I'll go that route with one of these: http://www.thecarycompany.com/containers/drums/drumheater.html#5gal I think I'd just use the band heater as it's the least expensive and cumbersome.
