Burn Box, 35 Inch 67 Gallon Heavy Gauge Stainless Steel Burn Barrel Yard Waste Incinerator Cage with Lid for Paper Leaf Trash Wood and Backyard Bonfires

I actually have no opinion on this burn box other than that it does it's job and contains the fire, but my husband loves it. He desperately wanted a burn box. He wanted the burn box right then, but we couldn't find one locally. What's almost as good as immediate gratification? Prime. We had this in a couple of days and he had it set up almost immediately. He said it was "a little bit of a pain" to put together, but not enough to deter him from getting it finished. He gives it two thumbs up because he loves using it, and I give it two thumbs up because it makes the unattractive brush we are clearing off a lot disappear quickly.

Saw a lot of reviews complaining about how difficult this was to put together and how the holes do not line up. I did not have any of these problems and had it put together and was burning in it in less than a half an hour. 50+ burn cycles later, it is still holding up nicely. We don't add water to cool it down though, we just let it cool on its own and have never had an issue with warping to the point it is unusable. The lid doesn't fit exactly the way it did before we used it, but it is heavy enough to stay in place and do the job it was intended for. Overall very happy with this purchase!

This burn container didn't keep its square shape therefore the lid doesn't fit anymore.

After reading about the problems associated with the assembly that were addressed in some of the previous reviews, I was still pretty confident that I could work around them but as it turned out, I had absolutely “no” problems with the assembly. In fact, the pre-drilled holes lined up so well that I opted to swap-out the #8-32 machine screws that came with it for larger #10-32 machine screws. The #8-32 size screws that came with it were self-tapping screws but I don’t understand why, because they also came with #8-32 threaded lock-nuts to go with them??? Anyway, the pre-drilled holes accommodated a #10 size screw perfectly, so I decided to go with those for added strength. I purchased a pack of 50 stainless steel #10-32 machine screws along with a pack of 100 stainless steel #10 lock-nuts to go with them for around $26 at Amazon. In case anyone is wondering; there are 38 screws and 38 lock-nuts needed for this assembly. I can always make use of the extra hardware, so I didn't mind paying a little more for the additional pieces.

You have to bend stainless steel. Do not panic -- the manufacturer made it easy to do. They stamped bend reliefs at all 90 degree bend points. The steel will only bend where it is suppose to bend. The steel is strong enough to tolerate two or more "opps!", if you bend the steel in the wrong direction. The instructions came out of a copy machine, but were clear enough to follow. On panel seams, the SMALL holes go on the backside of the metal sandwich (overlapping seam).All materials are in the box -- instructions and even a pair of gloves. The gloves are NEEDED to handle the stamped steel. My only complaint about the assembly process is the #8-32 self taping machine screws. The screws are made of a SOFTER material than the stainless steel. I was not able to seat one screw properly. I'm a fair to middling wrench, but I was unable to use the screws without stripping them out. After two hours of USMC magic words -- which usually work on the most stubborn assembly, I went to my local hardware store and purchased a box of #8 sheet metal screws. These screws had courser treads, but at least they did not strip out halfway from being seated. With a little practice, you will be able to seat the screws without stripping out the newly formed threads when you seat the screw's head. Go slow and use low torque for the head seat. I would like to meet the guy who's assembling the unit in the pictured instructions. I don't believe he used the same screws that came within the package.

This product has been used 2 times to burn boxes & the top has warped,along with the screws rusting! Total waste of money! Supposedly it’s a “commercial “ grade stainless steal. When I reached out to the seller all they said was this would happen if an accelerant was used. This is not the case,no accelerant was used! Now I can’t get a response from anyone to resolve this issue!

The first time I used it I was nervous about warpage. I stuffed it full and kept it full. Trash burned completely without any discernible warpage. I have used twice since again with no discernible warpage. I am totally pleased and satisfied with the product.

Works for me. Assembly was fine. At least the hardware is non-magnetic.
