I took an inner washing machine tub and drilled some holes in the bottom so the fire could get air. I then used two used skillsaw blades and a bolt to close the large agitator whole in the bottom center and added three legs to the sides to keep it about eight inches off the ground. I also have a oven rack from an old stove that I use on top for BBQ'n.
Works great and even huge fires have not caused heat warp or any other damage.
When your done for the night you flip it upside down and the tub contains the fire and sparks even in high winds.
Total cost was under $2.00 for the hardware and I've been using it for about three years.
P.S. Make sure you put legs on it as it will melt asphalt otherwise.

Yeah, I saw it, and it would be good for making coals. On the other hand, I want something to build a campfire in and maybe put the dutch oven on.
Actually, I'm going to try that with my Volcano. It can definitely be used as a small wood campfire pit, but with emphasis on "small" at 12.5 inches across. I'm also hoping the propane attachment will emulate the propane-fueled type portable fires. That will take some experimenting with ceramic logs.
