Further, the weep hole is drilled after the barrels are blued to allow the vapor to escape, not before, which of course lets the warmter in.
Are you certain of this? Isn't the hole also for putting water displacing oil into the barrel? I don't think the barrels are heated, out of the tank to that temp, but usually just hung in a drying cabinet.
