You can use air pressure, it takes very little.<G> You will have to make
up a lid with the right fittings, very little cost or work involved. It
only takes a few pounds of air pressure, too much and you will expand
the top and bottom of the drum. In the past I have blown out 100's of
drums of honey this way and some of it was almost set up.
