In most cases, Yes. However, you should be aware that there are restrictions in some municipalities when using metal bowls. For example, many building codes require that an approved spark arrestor screen or other safety device must be used with any gas burning appliances to protect against the possibility of embers being ejected from the appliance and causing fires on roofs or combustible surfaces near outdoor gas equipment. Check your local municipality for specific information regarding open air burners vs Fire Pits. And if it is not allowed where you live – do not use them! If unsure get advice from professionals before proceeding with construction/installation!
