Trash burner, Ember arrestor

[Rch]

Made from a 250 gal fuel oil storage tank. Both ends open so you can put in a lot of long brush. The spark arrestor has 3/8" diamond shaped holes. In the middle, a lower door opens down for ashes and an upper door opens out for smaller stuff.

Grate is plenty heavy so it won't blow away

Whoops, the photo. I use to post a lot here but I've changed to a Mac and the format is different RCH

OK, that looks real good, but since we never see those fuel oil storage tanks in this part of the country, I was wondering about the thickness of the steel. Do you have to limit the size of the fire to keep the steel from getting too hot and warping? And with both ends having doors, why did you bother to cut a door in the side? Just curious.
