Recycled Containers
I'm no where near Cambridge, although I am heading to Norfolk in the New Year and could take a detour, even then £10.95 delivery isn't too bad.

The shipping of those kits to the UK is horrendous. I investigated them some time back, totally the ideal solution but cost wise very prohibitive.

If there was only some way you could find information from people you know on how to make one.

I've got a couple in the garden, drilled holes round the bottom foot or so of both and use them for burning anything that needs burning

I like the idea of using them as fiery ways of getting rid of garden stuff.
Have to say the last one I used as a BBQ wasn't a patch on my Weber.
