I used a new paint can from the hardware store. It gives the added advantage of an airtight lid, and also a useful heavy wire handle. Fragile stuff I packed in a small coffee can that went inside the paint can. I also roll rope, twine and line around it. <br><br>In a pinch the paint can could be a bucket or a large pot. The only question I have is that these cans are coated with paint inside. It looks like grey primer. I don't know if this would be toxic if stuff was boiled in it, or if I punched holes in the paint can and used it as a hobo stove, would it emit noxous fumes? I've thought about repainting it with BBQ stove paint. The benefit of the coffee can is that I've seen people in Jamaica use these as cooking pots. I've thought about writing the paint can company, but the people at the store aren't real helpful at telling me where they got them from. What, am I going to scoop them out of the empty can business?<br><br>
