The Large Pyro Cage is the size most people mean when they say "burn cage." At 24" square and 48" tall it holds 11.76 cubic feet — roughly 60% more than a 55-gallon burn barrel — and it burns hotter and cleaner than a barrel because air feeds the fire from all four sides.

Uniquely angled slots are cut into every panel. Air is drawn in low, across the fuel, and out the top, so a load of brush or cardboard burns down to ash instead of leaving a half-charred pile. The flame stays inside steel rather than spreading across open ground.

Standard 14 gauge or PRO Series 11 gauge

Both versions are the same size and shape. The difference is panel thickness and how much heat cycling they shrug off.

• Standard — 14 gauge (0.075"): right for seasonal burning of paper, cardboard, sticks and yard debris. Panels are about 21 lb each.
• PRO Series — 11 gauge (0.120"): 60% thicker steel that resists warping under repeated full-heat burns. Panels are about 35 lb each. Choose PRO if you burn most weekends or clear brush by the truckload.

Lid and riser base

The optional lid holds embers and light ash inside the cage on a breezy day. The optional riser base lifts the fuel 4" off the ground so the lower vents can feed the fire from underneath — hotter, longer burns, less scorched ground, and far easier cleanup because the ash collects in the base. Each is a two-piece design that bolts together with three bolts and stores flat; hardware is included.

The riser base — 4" of lift, ash collects below

• Made in America from hot-rolled mild steel
• American steel construction is nearly 2x thicker than competing burn cage models
• 24" square × 48" tall — 11.76 cu ft
• Tab-and-slot assembly — no tools or hardware needed. Most owners leave it standing year-round; it breaks down flat for off-season storage or a move.
• Integrated handles for easy transport
• Panels ship in 2 boxes; the optional lid and riser base ship in 1 more

One honest note on taking it apart: fire is hard on straight lines. After a season of full-heat burns the panels grip their slots, and separating them takes a rubber mallet and more leverage than first assembly did. Plan on leaving the cage standing between burns — that’s what the cover is for — and pulling it apart once a year, not weekly. If you burn hard and often, the thicker PRO panels hold their shape better, which makes take-down easier too.
