According to local FD, metal burn barrel is ok. 55 gal is maximum. Still need a permit and a call to Carroll county dispatch before burning. Barrel needs steel mesh cover and constantly attended. We also keep a water hose nearby and don't burn when it's windy. In my opinion it's better/safer than a traditional fieldstone type fireplace as the embers are more enclosed, providing you don't overfill.
