it is now a working prototype

i need to make some modifications, like a grill surface for cooking, and finish the lid for transporting it, and a heat shield for the flex connection to the burner, and a gas regulator would be a wise choice, since it easily becomes a flame thrower, if i open the valve very far at all :twisted:

To add to this old thread, we use a galvanized wash tub about 20 inch square and 15 inch deep that we bought at a local hardware store and drilled vent holes in the sides with a step drill. When in use we always put an inch or two of sand or dirt in the bottom, and make sure you burn off the galvanizing with a nice hot fire the first time you use it [toxic fumes]. It only weighs a couple of pounds when empty and we have burned hundreds of cords of firewood before having to make another one.

We put a BBQ across the top to cook on it sometimes, you can see a picture of it in action in my gallery.

Now that this thread is bumped, we got this and absolutely LOVE it

We got the Bonefire 2.0 version (on sale now) and it's incredible. Puts out a lot of heat and almost zero smoke. You can get grill attachments and even a pizza oven attachment, comes in a nice carrying case as well.
