Hey guys, I'm desperately searching for some good photos of these burning trashcan thingies you often see in american movies, but since I don't know what they are called I haven't had much luck with uncle google  So if anyone knows the name of these things (some kind of slang word probably?), please let me know. I've added the only picture I was able to find of these blasted things to show you what I mean  |

Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0 | hobo fire didn't turn up anything really useful, but we're getting there I'm not really fit in terms of american slang though, so keep the ideas coming It really seems to be an american thing. I wasn't able to even find these barrels in local hardware stores... Could it be oil barrels or something like that? Maybe I can find some at a junkyard, but I'm pretty sure they won't let me set it ablaze |
