So I cooked up this idea yesterday, and made the prototype between arriving home and sunset last night .....
The bag is the left-over from a pole bag, that I bought from Tentco's bargain Garden for R10
Maar nir nou nie ---
If it works I'll tell you all about it on Moaning day after my campout this weekend 
Good idea
As long as you’re allowed to make a fire on the ground. Did you leave some gaps for the fire to breathe through or did it burn that well without gaps? Old washing machine drums with legs are quite popular. They work well with all the vents for oxygen, but are too bulky for me to cart along. I have a cheap little braai permanently in the Kavango for campsites that don’t have a braai or have an impractical braai. And a SS toeknyp rooster in a bag.
Still in "development"
The intention is to not have gaps so that the coals stay hotter for longer being out of direct cross wind / breeze.
Having seen it work I intend to cut slots so that I can actuall "link" the sections together with a bit of an overlap -- I'll come up with something, --- Got a few ideas kicking around in my head
Where I'm not allowed to make a ground fire - I use my flatpack braai stand to make a fire on, my trick with the braai is to first put a layer of sand in the coal tray ---- This prevents the heat from burning through the bottom, and makes cleaning a doddle --- Just turf the sand.
BTW, the galvanised plates is my adaptation, again it allows the coals to burn for much longer, and keeps the heat focused on what it's supposed to be doing - --- IE cooking the meat!
This means I don't have to use so many --- This delightful little fella was cooked on 4 --- yes only 4 bricketts
The braai is 400 * 400 mm and built like a voortrekker baksteen buite-huisie --- Proper steel plate
Built more and sell
Warren it is a winner build more of those braais sell them and make some pocket money
Hande werk
Morning Warren
Agree with Shaun, it will be a best seller.
I admire people that can think practically, and can use there hands and tools to make their designs a reality.

Hi Warren, very nice !
The below is my braai, built by my son on Dad's instructions. All the components seen fit into the "box" for transportation purposes. The last image : just in case it rains !
Ps. I think I may have poster this before - if so, apologies !
The roof .....
That's been bugging me ever since Yonks ago, My fire got washed out
Then I learned about the Dakota fire pit --- But it's moer hard work --- What if I had some longer strips of roofsheeting "bowed"over the top ---- Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Pizza braai
Ons het ‘n Pizza Braai en dit werk baie lekker. Mens maak vuur op die oond, en sit net so vier of vyf kole onder dit om die basis bros te kry. Dit is wel nogal swaar vir kampeer, maar toe ons onlangs Onrus toe was het ons lekker om die vuur gekuier en pizza gemaak vir vier gesinne. Daar was elke tien minute nog ‘n vars, warm pizza waarvan almal kon eet.
Well that idea worked brilliantly,
So what was this "idea" a low cost, flat-pack fire pit screen --- In my Imagination I had the picture of me sitting next to a roaring fire until the fire died down and I was ready for sleep --- So what I did was with an angle grinder & cutting disc, cut some lengths off some corrugated roof sheeting, and stuffed them in the remains of a tent pole bag that I had bought from Tentco for R10 --- see the top 2 pics in my first post....
Dug a shallow trench and there we go! a perfect fire pit -----
I'm not a fan of a "boma"-- It is bulky & blooming heavy for what it is --- If I can't make a fire on the ground then I make a smaller fire on my flat-pack braai
