Is the barrel charred on the inside ?

it is, you have to rinse it out once around to get all the loose chars out of it so it don't spoil your drink

I think an open flame might destroy the vessel, and certainly its brushed stainless steel finish. It's insulated, in any case, which would probably make direct heating unsatisfactory.

There is a small 1/4" hole in the bottom. The end of the barrel isn't exposed.

Mine has a shiny chrome barrel. It wasn't very expensive. Maybe paid $10 or $15 for it.

What you are seeing is a layer of carbon from previous BBQ that is flaking off. This is normal .

I think it is. Another family member bought the little red campfire...I don't remember it's name exactly. I felt it was a far inferior unit. I love the campfire in a can. The unit looks and feels like a real campfire. The campfire in a can is ABSOLUTELY worth the extra money. You won't regret buying it.

I don't know bc when I saw it wasn't lined on the inside I decided not to use it. I don't want to risk drinking from plastic that's been heated.

I've never used it inside, but I would think that it is. I've read on reviews that people have used it indoors during power outages. The fire isn't big.

YES, there is plastic on the inside. It is at the very top of the jug where the handle attaches. The handle only attaches at the inside top not the full length of the handle. I personally believe it is not safe. This is not the kettle I am looking for.

Yes - clean it like a gun. The barrel needs lubrication. P.S. don't dry fire it. I accidentally did in my back yard and it sounded like a real gun fired, not to mention it's really not good on the compression seals. I love mine. Best powerful pellet gun ever - Not for minors though!!

Yes, the inside is matte, as is the bottom of the pestle. It appears that the non-working surfaces are highly polished rather than varnished.

I'd say bad barrel. I had a bad experience with their barrels too: knocked up slats of wood, two little holes that no amount of curing were going to close. Besides: at ten days, if you've left all or some of the same water in that barrel, you have to worry about bacteria growing. Contact them for a refund. Consider a barrel from Thousand Oaks: more expensive, but a friend of mine and I have had 5 of them now and never had poor quality.

It is. Some kind of Zinc Alloy if I'm not mistaken. The grips and the middle barrel are plastic though. And that barrel is attached to the orange tip so if you plan on removing it you'll need to be careful.

They can be but the inside of the barrels have been "roasted" which gives off a color and smoke type of flavor. Best for syrup or vanilla extract (my uses). French white oak is best - just make sure they are not "roasted, toasted, charred or cooked" on the inside.

It is black on the inside. You can image search the grill and some pictures will come up to see the inside area.

the plastic is food grade, but the seal I think does not closes hermetically ... The safest would be talking to the seller or producer of this barrel.
