Questions & Answers

What is the safest way to start a fire in the Behrens 20 gallon burner?
Asked by KlA January 30, 20200
AnswersCan you burn brush & leaves in it?
Asked by LB October 26, 20192
AnswersYes you can, please make sure you monitor and do not overfill.
Is this safe to use directly on grass or should I put bricks underneath?
Asked by SafetyFirst March 21, 20195
AnswersI don't know if I would use it on grass at all. If you're burning a lot, some hot ashes will come out the holes at the bottom.. If you want to put it on landscaping bricks, I'd at least have it 18" wider than the can.
Is it good for burning paper documents and bills, etc
Asked by Mike February 17, 20195
AnswersYes, you can burn in it but it takes the shiny finish off of the can. Hasn't rusted yet but don't know if it will.
Are there holes on the bottom?
Asked by Amy December 6, 20186
AnswersTwo out of the five previous answers said there were no holes on the bottom. Three said, yes, there are holes on the bottom. Which is it?
Does it come in larger sizes?
Asked by Butch July 3, 20183
AnswersNot that I know of.
Could you use it as a fire pit?
Asked by JJ February 21, 20183
AnswersI would not recommend it, because of the holes are all over sides too..
Is it safe for burning sticks & branches?
Asked by Taffy August 7, 20175
AnswersYes this would work for sticks oh, scrap pieces of wood, paper and trash.
How do you collect the compost ? Does it just fall out the holes ?
Asked by Composter June 13, 20173

where is it manufactured? In the US?

Makes short work of tree trimmings
Purchased to burn a large amount of tree debris, shrub trimmings, fallen branches, scrap lumber etc. It's the size of a short steel trash can so it's not huge, but if you cut/break stuff down to 3ft or shorter, it will fit fine.
As with any fire-starting, put paper, leaves, cardboard & smaller tinder-sized stuff in first to get your fire going, then gradually add larger items or you'll smother the fire. Ordinary charcoal lighter fluid and wooden matches (to drop in while lit) will help get it going quickly.
SAFETY FIRST! Set it on a level concrete surface (or bricks/cinder blocks) away from overhangs, homes, vehicles, gas grills etc to avoid accidents, and keep a hose handy just in case. Once you're done adding material and flames aren't coming out the top, put the lid on to keep anything from falling in or sparking out. It will continue to burn for several hours, leaving nothing but ash and some charcoal embers.
If you have a lot of trees and bushes that you trim regularly, this is the burn barrel you need.
