Using a metal bucket as a simple brazier about cataclysm-dda HOT 3 OPEN

That's true, that's true.
You could punch or drill a couple small holes around the side to help with the air flow problem. Gameplay wise I think it'd make good sense. You have a way more portable fire pit with the trade off of it not lasting quite as long.

Maybe, my one concern is that the brazier is made from sheet metal which is about 100cm^2 according to its profile which is a significantly larger surface area than the bucket which is 25cm. While I don't imagine that would have any practical downside as its just meant to contain a fire, I could see a brazier made from a bucket harder to keep going due to limited air flow unless it is modified it in some way.

Also of course it needs to be metal.

I really like the idea of a portable fire pit that you make with fire or survival skill
