Default Burn barrel ventilation holes

I'm with Steve Firth on this one. Whack about 20 holes with a pick axe
in the base, then stand it on bricks.


Seems all my original holes are too small; I'll have to enlarge but
hopefully still keep most of the ash inside.

If you cut 1/3rd of the top and 1/3rd of the bottom off a steel drum,
then similarly whack in the holes they make a superb barbeque when set
on a suitable frame, using weld mesh as the grilling surface. I've
three done this way, and an angle iron frame to sit them on that
neatly gets lifted to where ever we are feeding using forks on the
back of the tractor. Last used a few weeks ago when we fed a couple of
hundred people over two days.


Impressive. Farm wedding?
