My last school we used an old stainless washing machine drum. it burned very clean with no smoke. But, it does burn wood fast as it's mega efficient at drawing in oxygen. The lip around the top edge was perfect for setting on potatoes in tin foil. When the skips were still shut last May I got an ex display garden incinerator bin from Wickes. It is basically a big kelly kettle and without the lid on it burns clean and you can still feed it.

Made this from an empty 47kg propane cylinder. The chimney was a fireman's BA cylinder, left a slight radius on the very top. Makes for a brilliant shaped flame. Cheers.
Oh and the tube underneath is a air feed, I can set up the air blower and easily forge.
It also comes apart and I've a grill plate for cooking on.

Notice that the key concept in every design (above) is to get the fire up off the ground. It's so nice to be looking into the fire instead of looking down into the smoke and flames, trying to cook anything at all. Needs legs. 16" or more.
