my buddy found a washing machine tub and used it for a fire pit..after about 15 minutes of fire time there was an explosion from the pit . there was shiney shit all over the yard that looked like sand. it seemes to have come from the inside of the tub.my question is what is it ? do they use it to ballance the tub? luckely they were gathering wood when it happened or they could've been hurt. any ideas?

Was the tub still in one piece after the explosion?

Some kind of ceramic coating perhaps? Like porcelain on steel? Steel heated up and bang...the coating comes off???

I feel compelled to respond even though all I know is my uncle had it happen to him. You must prepare the tub first, I will ask him how if you don't get a good answer here.

I've used these tubs for years and never had that happen.
