Buying a simple factory stove will cost a tidy sum. Since its design is standard, it is often not entirely convenient in some specific circumstances. You can save a lot of money and take into account local features if you make such a stove from an old gas cylinder. Any adult with at least basic skills in handling metal can handle this type of work.

The process of making various stoves for a cauldron from an old gas cylinder
To displace the gas remaining in the cylinder, spill it with running water.
We make markings and cut the balloon in the transverse direction.We place a sheet of paper or cardboard copying the shape of the door on the surface of the cylinder and make a cutout along the contour.

To remove the threaded ring of the neck, saw it crosswise with a grinder and break it out with a chisel. We seal the hole in the cylinder with a metal coin.
From the inside of the doorway, we weld a restrictor plate in the center of the side.
We weld the door with two hinges to the side of the cylinder opposite the restrictive plate.

We bend three identical blanks from a square rod and weld them to the upper bottom through 120 degrees in a circle.
We make a gravity door latch from a plate, a round pipe, a round and square rod with a bolt and nut pre-welded to its end by the head.
On the opposite side of the door from the part of the gas cylinder, closer to the top, we cut out a round hole in plan, to which we weld an “elbow” from a pipe with a diameter of 108 mm for installing a chimney.
From a profile rectangular pipe of suitable size, a round rod, a spring, a pin, a plate of the required shape and size, washers and nuts, we assemble an adjustable blower and weld it to the bottom of the door in the center, having previously made a rectangular cutout in it.
The simplest stove for a cauldron does not have a door, pipe or vent. It is easy to produce at minimal cost. Smoke comes out through special openings on top of the stove and the door cutout. Slightly increased wood consumption due to lack of draft adjustment.
A stove option with an adjustable blower, but without a chimney, is more economical, but smoke also comes out in all directions.
The most convenient and cost-effective type of such a stove has a door, an adjustable blower and a chimney.
