More specifically a Fire Boma.
My wife said she fancied one, and my wife has good tastes - she fancied me Rotfl  Rotfl   Rotfl 
So here it is - easy a big can with some holes and 3 house bricks as feet.

My wife said she wanted a round one. It is round with holes in it. She said I wanted it with feet, it has feet 3 house bricks. I think she is just being difficult. Big Grin

I thought my design could be described as "ancient rustic" Big Grin

Dave,

You're wasting your time. Tell her to sketch something up so you at least have a starting point.
Good luck with that. 5176

A word to the wise here Dave, "Don't mess toooo long with the War Department". If that's what she wants well, you know the rest. 6799
