Abstract:

A trash barrel arranged for the burning of refuse therewithin is provided to provide a semi-cylindrical first shell mounting a semi-cylindrical second shell functioning as a door relative to the first shell. A powdered brick aggregate is contained within spaced walls of the first shell, including upper and lower semi-cylindrical caps mounted to upper and lower distal ends of the first shell to enclose the powdered brick aggregate therewithin. The shell structure includes an upper and lower semi-circular "U" shaped channel cap to contain the aggregate within the first shell, with a lower cap including a floor plate integral therewith to accommodate the second shell thereover. The second shell further includes a sliding door to permit drafting through the interior cavity of the first and second shells when in a cylindrical configuration, with a wire-mesh basket mounted to the second shell to be removed relative to the first shell upon opening of the door or second shell structure.
