Do NOT burn plastic. You will be releasing many very toxic compounds in the air by doing so. This can impact you & your neighbor's air, water, and health. When you burn polymers (plastics) theyl break down the molecules into the basic building blocks (formaldehyde, styrene, ethylene, etc). A large percentage of the polymer will not completely oxidize and will be carried in the air. You will be better off burying the stuff. Burning it cause more pollution than the factory that made the plastic.

@kentuckyprepper1792 Thanks for your input. I will edit the vid to make sure that we only burn PE type plastics and not halogenated plastics. The halogenated plastics are the ones that when burned give off nasty chemicals(cpe,cpvc,cspe,cr,pvc­,fep,etc). Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

@homesteadprepper You got to be careful of all plastics and polymers. When you burn them you get the building block particles. Some recycling facilities utilize that through distillation of pyrolysis products. Another example of this would be burning wood. The cresote and phenols that build up in the chimney are largely due to monomers (building blocks of the wood polymers: cellulose, lignin, and lignan). I just want to give you some of my chemist perspective. Be safe and keep the videos coming.

@kentuckyprepper1792 Thank you and I value your input.

Knowing my neighbors this wouldn't go over well at all lol

@hollyhousekitchen I have a friend who also has a burn barrel and lives in a subdivision. His neighbor has called the fire dept. on him twice. He stands ready with hot dogs and coat hangers, because in his area burning is not allowed, but outdoor cooking is. Also, if and when the SHTF happens, those same neighbors who would report you for illegal burning will be the first ones wanting you to get rid of their trash for them. They will also want your food storage and other items.

@homesteadprepper : Don't worry about that shit, burn what even you want. People are pussies these days and they will be the first to die WTSHTF!

@Begbucks Thanks for the input.

The air intake holes should be located higher to account for the molten plastic which lines the bottom. I'd perforate the drum some 3 inches higher than you did.

This is btw how rural folks from all backgrounds incinerate their trash mainly in the Midwest like Missouri & Illinois.
