Vertical Burner

Emerging from the scrap metal pile, the vertical burner thrusts upward to it's nearly four foot height - the product of months of brain-storming and two evenings of fabrication a couple weeks ago. One of the legs is bigger than the others to meet the use existing material only goal, and the slender profile meets the easily fits though the door to the yard goal.

Now jammed full of Christmas tree, it's a giant workshop air freshener that will become a simulated rocket-launch when I put the fire to it. Have you ever burned your wreath or tree? - those needles flame fast and bright!

I love this burner. It would produce a ton of relatively safe heat from a fire.

Thanks - I like it's more "refined" shape too. Notice that the top trim pieces sit inside the mesh wall, rather than sticking out?

Clarification: throwing a xmas tree or wreath on a well-flaming fire is thrilling - haven't tried starting one before.
