This may be akin to the safety problem of high-pressure gas cylinders, I
suppose.  Not related directly to cars, but part of the dynamic of having a
number of people at a festive summer event.  I think braziers should be
allowed, but must be attended while hot.  Participants should be admonished
not to throw coals in trash receptacles until they are demonstrably cold.

Of course, metalworkers of all types are welcome at autocrosses.
