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]] [[bar]]s). Non-magma [[forge]]s also require one [[bar]] of [[fuel]].<br /> <br /> For information on managing barrels in stockpiles, see [[using bins and barrels]].<br /> <br /> When a barrel gets empty again after being used it will be used again after being hauled back to a furniture stockpile.<br /> <br /> For most uses, barrels can be replaced by a [[large pot]], which has the same storage capacity (and requires no [[wood]] or [[metal]]) and is only one quarter as heavy ''as a barrel made of the same material''. Typical stone pots will be 33% heavier than wooden barrels. Fire clay 'stoneware' pots weigh the same as a wooden barrel, while earthenware pots are lighter but must be glazed.<br /> <br /> Barrels are used in building [[dyer's shop]]s and [[ashery|asheries]]. Using a valuable masterwork or [[artifact]] barrel to build one of these buildings can significantly increase fortress [[wealth]].<br /> <br /> Barrels can hold up to 60 prepared meals, plants, or cheeses, 30 pieces of meat or fish, 30 units of [[alcohol]] (but only a single stack), or 100 units of [[lye]] or [[milk]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Container]]<br /> * [[Using bins and barrels]]<br /> {{buildings}}</div>
