Barrels are storage units that, like bins, large pots and bags, conserve stockpile space by containing several items of the same type. They can be made out of wood at a carpenter's workshop (requires one log for each barrel) or forged from metal at a forge (requires 3 metal bars). Non-magma forges also require one bar of fuel.
For information on managing barrels in stockpiles, see using bins and barrels.
When a barrel gets empty again after being used it will be used again after being hauled back to a furniture stockpile.
For most uses, barrels can be replaced by a large pot, which has double the carrying capacity (and requires no wood or metal) at the cost of being 2.5 times as heavy.
Barrels are used in building dyer's shops and asheries. Using a valuable masterwork or artifact barrel to build one of these buildings can significantly increase fortress wealth.
Barrels can accomodate prepared meal stacks of at least size 30 and only one stack of alcohol, disregarding size.
