The washtubs used for fire rings are from an automatic washer and as IAMICHABOD said, they are either enameled or stainless steel. The wastubs that were galvanized are the ones from the early part of the last century where you used a washboard and had a manual wringer.
Actually, they were used long after the "washboard era". My mother had a set on the farm that she used with a Maytag gas engine powered washing machine. Yes, it had a wringer, no spin cycle.
Well, actually, it didn't have "cycles" it was on or off!
She used the same tubs in town when she had an electric wringer washing machine.
Here in Montana, don't bother to bring your firepits, especially during the late summer. You won't be allowed to use them in the back country campgrounds, and many RV parks won't allow it either.

I used a old wash tub for many years,but I had a trailer with the toys on it so I had plenty of room.
Now with the Class C I had to find something smaller.I found a small wash tub that fits in the cargo compartment. I put it in an old laundry bag for transport and it keeps everything clean.
It works great and I can use it in a fire pit or stand alone. With the legs on it is legal in every park that I have been in here in the west.
The nice thing about a wash tub fire pit is that it gives heat all around it and contains the fire.
I stand corrected......It IS a washing MACHINE Tub fire pit

The best thing about the old style as they double as a beer cooler .... new ones drip too much ......
LOL, I am not that old, I just didn't know. Makes sense they wouldn't be.
