"Mr. Fire Face" the Outdoor Fireplace Made from old Propane Tank

Step 5Wheels, Taller Stack, Larger Grate Holes

Wheels, Taller Stack, Larger Grate Holes
Here's Mr. Fireface a few months later after some improvements.

I cut big triangular holes in the bottom to let more air in and to let the ashes fall out.
Actually the triangles are flaps that I bent up at an angle to make the fire spin.

I cut the flue hole larger and welded a smaller propane tank on top with top and bottom cut out.
That makes it draw better and puts the smoke a little higher from your eyes and lungs.

I welded the whole thing onto a shopping-cart-dolly to make it easier to move around.
I put a big clay bowl under it to catch the ashes.
