When I was a kid we had a large backyard that my parents would place tiki torches throughout for guests to kind of explore on their own and also light the way to the pool. So, I’ve always had a fond memory with these and they add a special whimsical touch to any backyard… I really like this idea of afixing a permanent holder to a fence.

This is the basic design. A 2" floor flange was bolted to the underside of the brake drum to which a 2" coupler was used to attach it to a 2" T-connector. A longer coupler was attached to the side to accept the hair dryer and a bottom pipe was attached to the bottom to collect the ash. This is usually capped with a 2" cap so the air can't escape that direction but I didn't want to have to wait until the forge cooled to unscrew the cap and empty the ash and I was concerned the cap would become permanently attached by rust since the forge would be stored outside in the rain. I'll show you how we handled that part.

A large brake rotor with a large hub will work but the hub will still not be as large as even an average-sized brake drum.
