Hi

Just for reference:

It takes about 700 pounds of steel shot to fill up the region between  
a 30 gallon steel drum and a 55 gallon steel drum. You can get roughly  
2" of foam in between the outside of the 55 gallon steel drum and a  
110 gallon drum. A 2x4 wall around the 110 gallon drum can be useful  
for taking care of drafts.

Steel may not be perfect, but in shot form - it's cheap.
