Someone Selling Trashcan Smokers - isn't galvanized metal poisonous?

[Mark R]

Opps, I misspoke. the zinc in galvanized is a combination of tin and lead. And an acid solution can break the bond...bla bla bla!

[blues_n_cues]

Don't look like Obama. O his Mama. Maybe Dali Lama?

oops.. & we're all about the slut de-jour. (ok tya english only kids..)
slut of th week..........

That Ebay disclaimer that that guy wrote pisses me off almost as much a statement like this...

"I've been doing it like that for years...Hasn't killed me yet".

Yeah. Statements like that are so convincing. I don't feel the need to do any further research. I'm SURE the guy knows what he is talking about.

It's pretty interesting what a little acidic solution will do to galvanized. A tomato juice spill after a week will start rusting. Let's see in a smoker, who would use tomato juice, or lemon, or orange...etc?
I work with sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid every day. You do not even want to be near the fumes if it spills on galvanized.

Done a lot of welding and from day one I was warned about Galvy. Never knew the acid angle, thanks Mark

Lots of good info on the subject and good debate. Maybe the guy has been reading this thread. Those links are no good anymore.
