Making a Propane Fire Bowl

Has anyone ever made a “fire bowl” that goes on a half of a whiskey barrel? My plan is to make a propane burner that fits in a custom round hole on the top of a halved whiskey barrel. My daughter and son-in-law have a brand new patio made from pavers. I want to make them a custom whiskey barrel fire pit. Anyone ever done this?

Just design it so there's a reasonable air gap between the metal and the wood. Bottom of a fire pit/bowl gets really hot.

Like the idea. Hope you can work it out. Just remember wood burns.

Could you incorporate some of the ceramic fiber blanket insulation between the two to help reduce heat transference?
