Default Sourcing used truck brake drums?

Off the wall question, I know, but any recommendations for

Neighbors have two they are using for flower planters / corner
markers and I though "Cool, but they probably would work well for
braziers. After all, they're a cast iron, which will handle heat
relatively well, you can make a small fire in them and they'll radiate
quite nicely. I mean, what's the difference between them and a "son
of Hibachi".

So, where's a good place to "source" a set?


Scrap yards, truck shops, truck leasing service centers. I picked the
ones I have up from a Penske shop years ago.
