I know that zomeworks used army surplus ammo cans for water storage.  They
are rectangular and water proof, unlike most barrels.  They stack well and
fit up against interior walls.  

Zomeworks is one of the best passive solar companies around and has been for
over 30 years.

If you use your barrels or ammo cans to raise your beds then you get heat
where you most need it, the root zone of plants.

Point well taken.  I guess what I meant was a shape that would allow more
mass in the same footprint; all the empty space that the circular barrels do
not fill in between each other could have been filled with water for more
heat storage (and release) -
