Fireproof box

I know you said box but if the A4 fireproof document bags will work I can recommend the Ruboka bags (item number B07KWM8T3C on UK Amazon). They are only around £10 and because of what I keep in mine I picked up one to set on fire to test before I picked up a couple of other ones for real use and the paper I put in the first bag for the test was fine after being left in fire for around 20 minutes.

Any recommendations on a decent size fireproof box?

 Thanks 😀

A safe? Or just box?

If safe

If you know anyone that is good at working with refractory cement, a homemade firebox can be made to whatever size you desire. Courtesy of my brother…

At present, it is painted with high heat, flat black header paint. Rated for 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. Made with the same refractory cement as the steel blast furnaces in Canada. Weighs in at about 55lbs+ empty.

Looks good, have you tested it? Assume the lid makes an airtight seal as that is the weak point as it needs to keep the hot air out?

Wow that looks awesome. 
sadly I don’t know if anyone who could do this and finding it difficult to find one to buy.

I hope to never have it truly tested LOL. But the compound formula and thickness is what determines the temperature rating. And I do not have a picture of the bottom side of the lid, but it too has the same thickness as the sides and bottom of the box. In addition, there is a beveled edge to help shield the inside from extreme heat for an [undetermined] length of time. Most brand name fireboxes are not nearly rated for as high of heat exposure as this one. There is obviously a limit for a particular temperature and/or time exposed to some temperature that would cause it to fail. I have never put it through that kind of heat, mostly because a common house fire can be around 1100 degrees Fahrenheit. Quite a challenge to create temperatures near there.
