I bought 2 white ones that had vinegar in them and just can't shake the smell in the barrels. I thought this would be pretty easy, I was wrong. Yes I have seen quite a few postings on guys selling them too on cl, but what was in them is my concern. If I can find some cleaned or something that had easily removable product in it then I will grab a couple more

Big Blue Barrels

This is the guy I get barrels from. Having a removable lid is very handy. The residual food additive syrup is easily removed with hot water.
