This is a slot together design that flat packs.

I got hold of a washing machine spin dryer bowl from an old twin tub at the dump - bolted some legs to it and still going strong after 4 years. Some are vitreous enameled and others stainless steel.
Good Luck.

X2 for Drifta.com.au. I have the Snow Peak one and it folds flat and is excellent. Also comes in different sizes with accessories available to allow you to cook on it.

The drifta fire pit looks good but when you see them in real life they are tiny and very expensive when purchasing with accessories, which you do need otherwise a few rocks will do the same job.

Visit your local refuse disposal center (aka tip) and pick up an old 9kg gas bottle for the price of a 6 pack to the local operator, or go but a brand new one from the big green church for $20.

Now put a cutting disk on your angle grinder and cut the entire top off at the point where the flat sides start to curve in towards the tap.
Cut a handful of 45 degree slots around the sides and some slots on the bottom.

Voila small portable fire bucket that can be carried in a cheap 9kg bottle holder on your rear bumper.
