Burn Barrel/Container

We try to live as frugally as we can, within reason.  In the past we have used a burn barrel, or 55 gallon drum with the top cut off, to burn our kitchen trash.  Then every year or two the burn barrel would have to be replaced because it would rust through and come apart.  So, one day I saw a cinder block burn container and decided to try it.  I was given some cinder blocks, and used them for the container.  I set some of them sideways along the bottom and half way up for air flow, to help the fire burn hot.  Since we live in the country  it doesn't have to look real good visually.  The burn container burns very hot and consumes all of the burnable trash, and we won't have to worry about replacing it every year or two.
