noun
brazier
BRAY-zher/ˈbreɪʒər/
A metal container for holding burning coals.
Glowing charcoal fills the open bowl of the iron brazier.
Etymology
French brasier, “pan of hot coals,” was formed from Old French brese, “embers.” The container thus takes its name from the glowing fuel it holds.
In context
the base simply slides in and you've got a really nice deep brazier style fire pit and of course you could always put the mesh on top to cook with as well
