And why isn't
Bernie sitting next to it, to keep warm?
Cheaper than a dumpster?
Based on all the cut logs on the fire and also in the background, I'm guessing that they have chosen to burn their waste, rather than pay to have it carted away. (Pro tip: That metal ain't gonna start.)
They won't burn it all in that
But it will keep their hands warm for a while.
It also looks like it is set up for a pot of something to be set on top to stay warm - like tar?
looks like a cook fire
Tar? what do people use tar for?

Waterproofing joints and seams.

Muffy's fire pit is okay.
The caveman hand warmer, not so much.
Pearls clutched.
Good luck with that. We're
Good luck with that. We're still waiting for 311 to do something about the huge dead tree that snapped back in the fall and is now (as I type) leaning against some more old dead trees of the same size over at the Forest Hills Preserve across from 100 Morton Street at Arborway Gardens. So, now we have a few huge dead trees waiting to kill pedestrians and drivers. A City of Boston truck came out in the fall after we called and put yellow tape across the area so that nobody can park. It's January now and every day the yellow tape gets whipped and broken in the wind just like me. Nothing has been done. Our neighborhood doesn't have a lot of money. Maybe that's why.
Is it a smudge pot?
Being a comstruction site, perhaps it's keeping the aread directly below it from freezing over?
