What is this?

[Woodswoman]

Up late watching Bushcraft Videos and there was a guy (Bull-Hanson?) who pulled something out of his pack that I've never seen.
When it unfolded, it looked like a huge hubcap with holes. He built a small fire in it and cooked his food. I'd never seen that before.
What is it and where can I get one?

It would help if you told which video.

Could it be this one?

 

[Woodswoman]

Yes, it looked like that exactly! What's it called and where can I get one?
Sorry I couldn't link the video. It was at 2:30 am and I couldn't find it again.

Thank you so much!

I also found another model - UCO Firebowl.

We used to just use the folding steamer baskets to do that.
Picked up big ones in the Chinese supermarkets.

Littler ones, like this, 23cms, are still very useful.

Note.
The steamers often have support legs that are just thin vertical cylinders, not like the flat bent things in the Amazon fire bowl advert. Supporting a handful of broccoli in a pan isn’t the same as supporting a stack of wood on a patch of woodland soil. Best to use stones to stand the feet on to prevent sinking.

Also, these fire bowl are not high off the ground. The heat radiated to ground will cook and even char anything that can be toasted beneath the bowl. Ash buildup from multiple fires insulates somewhat, but the first fire that makes the ash is still cooks that bit of ground.
Knowing this, one can take precautions to better mitigate the effect, whether it’s clearing to bare soil, using rocks, or reflective metal foil.

I use a steamer from a charity shop. Just unscrewed the little lifter in the middle and there you go. Mine cost a mere pound of the realm.
I rest it on bare earth as they do cook the ground under neath, but an old baking tin helps to contain ash and prevent scorching.

We have one of those, but it's for steaming vegetables. You put that basket in a deep saucepan, put in your veg and pour on boiling water from the kettle up to the level of the bottom of the basket, put the lid on and bring it back up to the boil then put the lid back on.

I'm not sure that it would stand up to the heat of a fire for very many uses; I think that it would buckle and no longer fold properly.

I have this one, UCO flatpack grill. I have also bough a fireproof mat (that are used under camping stoves) and cut a smaller piece to put under this. Almost no ash fall from the bottom but it never hurts to be double secure.
And the piece of mat fits inside the package.

Packs flat in the pouch.

I took a photo of the first burn.
