[TheForge] Slack tank

[williamsiron at comcast.net]

Bob, 



While my shop gets cold enough to freeze water and then some, I just let my slack tub freeze. I've got a stainless steel former beer keg with the top cut out as a slack tub. Let me know how the heater works. 



We've had unusually cold weather lately. 3 inches of snow today with low temps in the teens and wind chills in single digits. The shore usually has a milder climate.

I finally broke down and got a tank heater for my half barrel. Usually this 
time of the year I empty the barrel and work out of a 5 gal. bucket which I 
would dump every couple days when it was cold.  At the black friday 
hammer-in I noticed our host had a tank heater, and asked if it was 
expensive to run.  He said that he could hardly tell the difference.  I have 
my shop on it's own meter so I'll have a pretty good idea if it is costing 
me a lot more.
