Abstract
A container for burning refuse including yard waste, household waste and the like. The container has a cylindrical portion that defines a burning chamber. The cylindrical portion includes a plurality of ventilation apertures and inwardly protruding flanges. The container also includes a cover supportable by the cylindrical portion to open and close the burning chamber. A pair of cross braces extends across a lower portion of the burning chamber to partially support the burnable refuse. During burning of the refuse, the flanges prevent the refuse from collecting along the inner walls of the burning chamber and define air flow passageways to improve air circulation through the chamber.
Claims20
A refuse burning container comprising:
- a plurality of interconnected chamber walls defining a burning chamber and a central axis, each chamber wall also defining a plurality of chamber apertures;
- a plurality of flanges extending radially from the chamber walls and substantially parallel to the central axis;
- and
- a plurality of circumferentially extending lips, each of the plurality of lips extending from a respective flange, each lip being radially spaced apart from an associated chamber wall and defining therebetween an air flow passageway portion.
A refuse burning container comprising:
- a plurality of panels interconnected to define a burning chamber and a central axis, each panel defining a plurality of ventilation apertures and having a top edge and a bottom edge;
- and
- a plurality of flanges formed integrally with the panels and extending radially with respect thereto from the bottom edge to the top edge.
A method for assembling a refuse burning container comprising:
- forming a plurality of chamber panels, each being similarly formed to include a top edge, a bottom edge, a free edge, a flange edge, and a flange extending from the flange edge, each chamber panel defining a plurality of apertures;
- coupling the free edge of a first chamber panel to the flange edge of a second chamber panel;
- coupling additional chamber panels to the first and second panels as needed to define a burning chamber having a central axis;
- and
- positioning a cover defining a plurality of apertures on the top edges of the panels to overlie the chamber.
