I have a copper one similar to your pic without the screen. The screen is nice for keeping the fire small (can only fit logs that physically fit in the screen) but it also traps in the heat. My copper one is from Sam's and it is quite large. We build raging fires on it and it has held up well for years despite being left upside down outside 100% of the time. I build the fire on top of the supplied grate and a piece of expanded screen metal on top of that to keep the coals and small stuff from falling into the kettle. I will sustain a fire large enough to keep 25 people comfortable and drinking into the night. The area under the kettle doesn't get close to hot. We use it on a blacktop driveway.
No chance knocking this one over - it is about 48" across and very stable with a wrought iron stand.
