A plumber? Not sure I’d want him soldering any copper pipe in my basement with a propane torch.
I will have to agree with you. This guy may not be ready to play with fire.
Any plumber I have ever met was an intelligent and practical person.
Any reasonably intelligent person above the age of 16 usually knows that an open fire in high winds is not a good idea.
It should also be obvious that you are not going to get a fire hot enough for forging in a steel drum. The drum will melt first.

He’s a moron. Any experienced plumber knows his or her way around fire, torches, melting points, fluxing, behavior of molten metal, etc. Don’t let this guy near your house with a torch.
