Drill a couple of holes just below that to slide a couple of metal rods through and then rest a smallish holed wire mesh on top of them to hold the wood on and I thought the base of the drum would help contain the ash as it falls through the mesh / fire grate, then put an old plough disc on top of the drum. I have also thought of using an old 60 litre drum too. I haven`t thought much about a chimney, but it would probably get put on some where and the only other thing would be a flare up from the fire when the oil / fat dribbles down the hole of the plough disc. Any one else have ideas that they have thought of and never acted on?

    PS; Thought a chimney (metal pipe) of yay high could be welded on the hole of the plough disc.
    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.
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    @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.

    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.
