need a good cheap source for 5" steel tube
blakep82 - 11/4/11 at 04:59 PM

anyone got any ideas?
its for these gas bottle log burners i'm doing. want to do them cheap to get a few quid out of them. so off cuts would be good. not sure what length i'd need for each one, but i've got 4 to do.
old co2 fire extinguishers were mentioned in a previous thread, don't know where i'd find any though.

anyone got any laying about? or any ideas?

blake what do you need 5ins pipe for ? is it the chimney ?
I have just got some 4ins for my fire of a bus / coach exhaust you can buy it in 2m lengths

yep its for the chimney. someone mentioned 5 inch so looked for that. 4" is just as capable i'm sure
where can i get it from? i guess 1 meter is probably about the right length for each one?

Scrappies near us often have 4 & 5" stainless tubing from old food processing plants.

hmm, interesting. i'll see what can find at the scrappy. theres never usually anything much in the ones round here, but might be lucky
