Ours is from a compact front loading washing machine. I'm not sure just how well it will work (being smaller than a full sized tub) when it comes time to actually start the fire. We just got the thing fixed up to use late this summer, so we haven't even used it yet ourselves. Being a smaller tub, the opening at the top will limit how much a person can reach inside with a match or lighter to start the small stuff.
Also, one can leave the hot coals in it and let it get air around the sides, so the coals may burn down faster. Once burned down, we can easily carry the tub to a dumpster and dump out the cold ashes. From what I've been told, because the tub is stainless steel, it will clean up quickly and not leave a mess in the RV when we stow it to travel.
Oh, and we're up to 23 degrees now and just saw someone pulling their kids on a sled around the park.

A little bit of sleet started here in Norman about an hour ago, but it switched back to rain pretty quickly.
Hoping it stays as sleet or rain, do not want freezing rain.
Great photos, Terry - especially the deer at the bird feeder. I've got some coming around every evening to feed on the persimmons.
Amen, brother.
Power back on last night. Prob .5-.75" of ice. Wheat pasture electric fence on the ground everywhere..............cattle are still huddled for now, going to get interesting when they start to wander.
