Will radiant heat melt a pneumatic wheelbarrow tyre?

This isn't about the method for CO or burning charcoal, per sé.

BBQs are too cumbersome, even without charcoal in it. I can't push anything heavy either. I have trouble with a large grocery shopping cart, for example. Steel wheelbarrows look like the easier option for burning charcoal outdoors, until the smoke subsides, then moving them indoors. I will need 2 x 100L wheelbarrows. Will the radiate heat, from burning in the metal tray of the wheelbarrow, melt the tyre a bit? I've got 6 days to work this out. Want to be gone before the start of August. I'm serious. I know car tyres are a little more heat resistant. What about barrow tyres?

I also want to use them, before I go, for property clean up. I live in the bush, no closely neighbours, no one else will be harmed, it's Winter here, and I will leave a note on the door (but it will take months before I'm found).

I would think they are resistant enough - I've seen road workers move hot asphalt in those things. You could probably just test this out, though, just make some BBQ and throw the coals into a wheelbarrow and see what happens. But do it outdoors so you don't burn your house down.

Charcoal burns hot. Distance fron tire to steel in important. Maybe put a wet cloth over tire as a shield.

Good point. Roadworkers do use wheelbarrows for patching holes. Definitely waiting until smoke and flames are gone.
