Just a thought.

Had a thought in my head for a few days now, on a cheap and simple portable fire place / BBQ. I was thinking of getting a metal 20 litre drum like a Frytol oil drum or similar and cut a square opening in it about half way down, whilst using the square piece as a door with a hinge. 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.
