air flow passageways 86 defined by the flanges 27 and lips 28 exiting through the holes 38 in the cover 18 the sizing and positioning of the ventilation apertures 16 and the cover holes 38 are such that large pieces of ash and or debris are substantially prevented from leaving the burning chamber 13 while a substantial amount of air flow is maintained through the burning chamber 13 when the refuse has completely burnt and the container 10 has cooled the stakes can be removed from the base assembly 15 and the cylindrical portion 12 and semi circular base portions 50 can be lifted or rolled away from the base plate 74 leaving a pile of burnt refuse on the base plate 74 the base plate handle apertures can then be used to carry the base plate and the pile of burnt refuse to an appropriate refuse container where the burnt refuse can be disposed of fig1 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the container 110 features and components of the container 110 that are the same or similar to features and components of the container 10 have been given like reference numerals increased by one hundred the container 110 is similar to the container 10 however the flanges 127 of the panels 122 extend radially outwardly as opposed to radially inwardly the lips 128 extend circumferentially from the ends of the flanges 127 and are coupled to an adjacent panel 122 the air flow passageways 186 of the container 110 extend.
