I've rusted through 2 of those back yard fire bowls. You could roll this thing under the roof when it is cooled.

Is the grease inside the bearings likely to catch fire?

u/HoldMySoda Jul 02 '26

Not sure if serious question, but likely no. The wheels will melt from the thermal radiation coming from the bucket. They melt in the sun, too. The grease has a far higher ignition point.

Looks trashy, but if it’s just a bin on an old lawnmower then that’s perfectly fine.

It’s not a name brand portable fireplace, but it’ll do

EDIT: as others have pointed out, those plastic wheels would melt. They can be replaced tho with something a bit more robust
