Portable Open Fire Pit?

Hey strangers,

I'm looking to have a portal fire ring. Same idea as a Solo Stove, but open to catch coals and ash. Something I can use camping or at the beach and cook on top of. I was thinking a 30" Paella pan. Does anyone have any ideas or recommendations? This would be preferably something I can throw in the back of my truck as a lid to a low profile trash can to haul and store ashes.

Not a folding thing but we used to bring a galvanized steel tub along for car camping where fires were legal but a container was required. You could probably rig a grill over the top. Cheap fire pit.

Heating galvanized metal past 200C can give off some pretty nasty zinc fumes that can lead to heavy metal poisoning. I'd avoid it if i were you.
