Nothing I have or have found is wide, tall, and deep enough unless I make multiple small molds and stack together. Considered a Lock &Lock bread box, but cant find 2 of them.

Any suggestions? Sorry for the highjack. I can take somewhere else.
I think you just need a straight wall barrel and cut it down to whatever height you want otherwise I can't see how you could get the gelatin out of it in one piece.

I live in central Mississippi, the Jackson metro area. I happened to travel to Humphreys County weekly from my job.

Someone mentioned earlier that the barrels I am looking for available in Ponotoc for $18 each. I don't particularly want to drive all the way to Ponotoc for an $18 barrel if I don't have to? That's when I had the bright idea to pay an ole miss college student $50 for delivering them to me.

In my earlier request I had actually relied on someone doing the math to realize there was an easy chance to make a little bit of money for simply delivering these barrels from North Mississippi to me somewhere along my route in central Mississippi.

I stated that I would exchange a brand-new hundred dollar bill for three of these $18 barrels. That $40 + difference ought to cover your fuel expense coming home for a weekend to see your parents one weekend? And depending on your salesmanship you may be able to haggle the store owner out of a few extra dollars per barrel by purchasing more than one. I will round up the delivery fee up to $50.
Have you asked the guy selling them if he'll deliver? If you're willing to spend $100 to have them delivered what difference does it make who delivers them? Make him the same offer and let him do the leg work to find a driver.

Have not considered asking the store owner to deliver. Worth a phone call.

Marty at the feed store said they deliver other things in the state. May be able to piggy back in another job in the future.

Good idea, thanks.
