   It was the '60s :)

   We had one similar to the photo. My father built it with concrete blocks   
   lined with firebrick and a grate he salvaged from someplace. The chimney   
   was a length of clay soil pipe.   
      
   Burning the trash became one of my favorite chores after I found I could   
   light it off with a homemade Molotov cocktail. Like I said, it was the   
   '60s and nobody got too excited about big balls of fire if there was a   
   pre-teen male around. Considering the number of boomers around a highly   
   controlled safe environment for kids isn't absolutely necessary.
