2 styles. Cut them in half length ways . Good for BBQs and open flames. Chop them into short stumpy things are warmer but can burn through. Pick axe some holes in so they don’t hold water.
Gas bottle BBQs.Lie them on floor, point regulator but away from you/house/dog etc. hit hard once with hammer. Fill with water to flush gas and add weight. Weld steel car wheel to top. Landrover wheels are nice and deep and make a good family BBQ. 10″ mini wheels are for romantic couples.
