Barrels are storage units that, like bins 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) and is only one quarter as heavy as a barrel made of the same material. However, most wood is density 500, which means that fire clay 'stoneware' pots weigh the same as a wooden barrel. Earthenware pots are lighter but must be glazed. Actual stone pots (referencing the 'no wood or metal or fuel' claim) will always be heavier than wood pots (excluding glumprong and bloodthorn) unless made of jet or lignite.
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.
Barrels made out of stone are called Pots.
