I have a quick and possibly silly question:

Is there anything wrong with storing Lortone tumbler barrels in their lying down position while on the tumbler for a long period of time? (1 year or longer) [the tumbler will be OFF]

I'm not sure if they need to be stored in an upright position so that they don't warp?

Also, they will have ceramic media in them while they will be stored.

thanks.

I just got off the phone with a tech at Lortone. They recommended storing the barrels in an upright position if you are going to store them for any significant length of time (6 months or longer).

They also recommended not storing them in a very hot environment, such as an attic in Arizona, for a long period of time (1 year or longer)

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
