Trash Volcano

Trash Volcano FARM HOME Miscellaneous I made a trash burn barrel from a 4-ft section of 24-in dia pipe that burns like a volcano says Matt Studer New Washington Ohio
     The secret to the hot burn is cutting V-shaped tabs and bending them in toward the center of the pipe What happens is that the trash is held up by the points of the V s until it s mostly burned up The V-slots also give the trash plenty of air to burn like a volcano That way it doesn t sit at the bottom of the burn barrel and smolder
     I placed the pipe on blocks so I can easily clean out the ashes unlike a regular barrel where the ashes get wet and rust out the bottom of the barrel The last barrel I made like this lasted 8 years
     On a good windy day I can burn a month s worth of house trash in no time The flames shoot out of the top of the barrel and from the V-slots reminding us of a volcano
