it looks very good however, being as I'm in the building trade I noticed one problem - the price of copper is sky high at the moment, so getting your hands on a suitable scrap cylinder even a cut down one may present a problem in terms of price.

    I once made one using a galvanised dustbin. A cut down oil drum would do if it was cleaned properly first. The material dosen't really matter as long as there is some insulation between it [ie the outer casing] and the pot.

I have a stainless steel beer keg which I used as a fermenter back in my homebrew days - I think it's going to be re-comissioned as a tandoor  ;D  - alcoholic naans - loverly
