cut a hole in the side of the drum about 1 inch from the base.
poke the wallpaper steamers hose through the hole.
stand 2 house bricks on the hose to create a space between hay and hose.

put water in the steamer and turn on for about 5 minutes. Keep the drum lid on.

shove your haynet in and leave for between 5 and 10 minutes.

Perfect steamed hay every time.

*depending on what your drum is like you may need to steam it a few times before using it for your hay, just to get it spotless*
 
Lady at our yard made one very similar (well her husband did), I only steam in winter due to temperatures, I soak the rest of the time for the plump Welsh Cob :D
