I realize that this is an old thread, but I feel like I should mention the dangers of galvanized metal in a fire. The coating will burn off, creating toxic gasses. This goes with welding as well ... please be careful with metals that are coated with anything.
Quick solution ... put a few shovel fulls of sand or even soil in the bottom of the pan to protect it from the fire. Dispose of it with the ashes (please ... not in a trash can unless it is DEAD COLD ... dumpster fires are no fun.)
