It was fleeting, so not too much

The Yanks call them 'barrel stoves'.
You will see heaps of them on the doco's and lifestyle shows out of Alaska and Canada (Life below Zero, The Last Alaskans etc etc)
They tend to use bigger drums (200 mostly) but all a matter of scale I spose as they work a treat.
One bloke knocked up a Space Heater with a Pizza Oven style top using a 200 litre drum in a few hours on a recent episode.
@the evil twin . Since you mentioned 200 (44 gal), I remember episodes of MASH that has a 200 litre drum in the swamp tent with a chimney to keep them warm. Nothing like creating an idea that has already been thought of and made into.
I might go ahead with the plough disc and 20 - 40 litre drum.
I found my bolt together BBQ / Fire pit :)
But instead of it saying Jack Daniels it will say Jim Beam :)

a little bigger than you were thinking but definitely portable...

Not as light/portable, but a few people at the country speedway tracks have truck brake drums welded together for fire pits. Google has some good pics.

@GeeYou8 I had two old truck rims from a 8 ton truck and I bolted the drum brake to it as a stand, but never gotten around to weld the two rims together. I took one camping a few times for a fire pit and an old iron hot plate slide half way on to it. I left it at the last camp site I was at whilst living in WA and thought the bloke I camped with would use it more than I.
