How to make a stand holder under the cauldron with your own hands?
To cook food on the grill with the help of a cauldron, you need a special holder. It can be purchased at a specialty store.
And you can do it yourself. At the same time tools and materials can be made objects, old buckets, pipes or the remains of fittings.

Types of coasters for cauldrons
Kazanka for cooking is most often represented in the form of cast-iron dishes in the form of a hemisphere.
Because of their structure, they are inconvenient to install on open fire. Therefore, special coasters were invented. They come in several forms.
Tagan on three legs
Tagan is a metal structure, which consists of a small ring and three long legs.
Tagan is installed in such a way that the legs firmly rest on the ground at an angle, and the cauldron itself is above the fire in the ring.
Tagan on four legs
Tagan on four legs has a similar structure and mechanism of work. This design can be produced unassembled. Thus, it is possible to adjust the length of the legs, and even the ring itself to hold the cajanki of different sizes.
Submarines for table or plate
The ring with small legs (about 30-50 cm) is called a child stand. Mostly it is used to hold the semicircular utensils over the usual burner.
The design of the support and hook
Three long legs connected to each other are firmly installed in the ground, and at the place of their intersection there is a hook - this is how the simple design of this holder for the Kazanka looks like.
But it will work only if the dishes have an extra handle for which you can hang it where the grill is located.
How to choose a stand for cauldron
The choice of a stand for a cauldron depends on several factors:
- the environment where cooking will take place;
- stand material;
- ring volume.
For example, coasters made of cast iron, although they hold the temperature of the fire well, but they are very heavy. Therefore, they are more suitable for stationary use.
The best option for picnic lovers in nature are steel and aluminum coasters. They are much easier than cast iron and not inferior to them in reliability. Therefore, they are more convenient to transport.
Important! When choosing a stand, regardless of the type and material, you must constantly compare the diameter of the cauldron and the ring design. The latter should be a little already dishes, so that it is firmly held on to the weight.
How to make a stove out of the pipe
This stand can be made by hand from a metal pipe. Due to the fact that its design is quite simple. The kazannaya oven consists of a long cylinder, at the bottom of which there is a grill, two openings for feeding firewood and at the very top several petals to hold the cauldron.
It is made in such a way that all the heat emanating from the fire was concentrated inside the cylinder walls of the stove. And from it the cauldron itself was heated up with food.
Materials and tools
Materials
- A pipe section with thick walls for the cylindrical part of the furnace. Approximately 100 cm.
- Narrow chimney pipe. Approximately 12 - 13 cm.
- Metal corners for handles and legs design. No specific size. It all depends on convenience.
- Metal grill.
Instruments
- Bulgarian;
- drill;
- welding machine;
- hammer;
- building level.
Important! According to safety precautions when working with a welding machine, the wizard must have gloves, goggles and a mask to protect exposed skin.
Creating a project
The process of creating a stand for a cauldron with its own hands in the form of a furnace is reduced to three main stages:
- preparatory part;
- creating a design drawing;
- assembly of all the details.
During the creation of the drawing, it is necessary to specify the length and number of the grille for the furnace bottom, and also calculate the size of such additional elements as handles, legs, window size for the firebox, etc.
Build your own hands
When all elements of the furnace are assembled and prepared, the assembly stage of the product begins. To do this, according to the drawing, you must first mark on the pipe all the holes that will be cut out with the help of the grinder, as well as the petals for installing the pot.
Important! For cutting holes for the chimney and firebox it is better to carry out with the help of circles of different diameter, so that the cuts are more accurate.
The following actions are carried out using a welding machine. With it, the chimney is welded. It should be set at a 45 degree angle. Next is the door for the hole, where the coals will be poured, and additional elements in the form of legs and handles are mounted.
In the end, if the structure has successfully passed through the first baptism of fire, namely the firebox, then it can be covered with fire-resistant paint and left to dry.
Possible difficulties
At the assembly stage, some difficulties may arise that were not taken into account at the time of the project creation, namely:
- quality materials;
- Is the metal of the pipe suitable for boiling?
- weight of the structure;
- distortion of the form of structures under the action of high temperatures, etc.
You can eliminate them all with a preliminary test of all metal structures. Several pipe variants are taken, made from different materials (cast iron, aluminum or steel) and each one is checked using a welding machine. The material that holds the heat best and is not very heavy and will be chosen as the basis.
If not one of the metals fails the test, then perhaps the problem lies in the welding machine itself and its amperage.
Conclusion
Options for how to make a stand under the cauldron on the brazier do it yourself set. Conventionally, they can be divided into two types: for barbecue and open fire, as well as closed large independent ovens.
Both versions of coasters for cauldrons can be used on the street or even do it yourself.
To do this, you need a regular set for welding and some metal parts. However, in all cases, you must take into account the properties of certain metals, as well as safety.
