Exclamation prices

ok went to hill brother chem in phx,az
lye was 30$ out the door for the 50 lb bag
and went to western states prtrleum and got methanol (50 gal) for 154$
2.85 gal , but you better have your own drum, because there drum prices are a little high and if you get one of there drum's they also raise the price per gal about 20 cents.... ! and have cash because if you use you visa/check card they and 3 % of the bill for that ! i left and went to a drum place down the road and got one and came back with cash

Send some pics. Firerooster has a setup he bought but thinks we can find everything and make it ourselves. His is self contained and I believe almost self automated.

Can you send pics to me directly? I sometime go through that area on my way to Cali. But it seems that It may be a while before I come through again.

Exclamation Update on chemical costs

Koh at Hill bros chemical aka Hill Brothers hillbrothers.com is
.85 per pound under 250 and above is .80/ lb Anyone looking will be able to pull up their website and possible find what you need. I have a leftover bag of lye if anyon here in AZ wants to buy it off of me. Ive used about a teaspoon and now it sits.
