I wouldn't build anything until I had the parts on hand.
Once you have the parts you'll know the hole size?

your burner size and hole sizing will depend on the type and shape of burner you're using (round, linear, star, etc.), the BTU rating, and fuel type (propane or natural gas). once you dial in what you want, then we can figure out the size of the orifice

My neighbor built a couple of setups using these. They work well. He built a cocktail height table and the flame danced around due to the breeze, but his other one sits lower and has no issues. He put a glass surround on the taller one and it has helped significantly.
Buy a burner, fab the rest.

About five years ago, one of my bosses decided that we needed some "fire kegs" for people to warm their hands around when it got chilly in the outdoor seating area.
I stated that I didn't think it was a great idea, what with the feral children problem we have at the pub, but orders is orders.
So I made one.
I cut the top out of a "dented keg", then tack-welded a second top ring onto it. The rings are considerably thicker than the body of the keg, so much better for mounting valves and such. I bought all the propane hardware--ring, bowl and valve. The tank and regulator I had on hand.
I added the glass "pebbles" and lit it up to show the boss. It was a breezy day, and the first gust over about ten MPH caused it to backfire through the air intake vents, shooting flames out from beneath the bowl. End of experiment.
But I had fun making it!
