Stove with Chimney for 50L Uzbek Cauldron, D59cm

The 50L, D59 cm Uzbek cauldron chimney stove is a large-capacity solution for traditional wood-fired cooking, designed for use with large Uzbek cauldrons and for preparing generous amounts of food.

It is the right choice for Uzbek pilaf, shurpa, kazan-kebab, meat, stews, soups and other traditional dishes, being ideal for large families, parties, guesthouses, traditional restaurants and outdoor events.

Compared to cooking on an improvised open fire, the stove-type construction helps to concentrate the heat in the cauldron area, protects the fire from drafts and allows better control over combustion.

The chimney contributes to the evacuation of smoke from the immediate cooking area and to the formation of the necessary draft for combustion. This is one of the important advantages of dedicated cauldron stoves over simple open fire supports. There are “uchag” stoves with chimneys on the market specifically dedicated to cauldrons, which confirms this configuration as a proven system for kazan cooking.

🔥 Designed for large-scale cooking

With a 50-liter cauldron, fire control becomes much more important than with a small pot.

The large amount of ingredients requires sufficient energy for the initial heating, but also the possibility of reducing the intensity of the fire later.

This is especially essential when preparing pilaf:

Stage 1 – high heat: to heat the cauldron and oil.

Stage 2 – high temperature: to brown the meat, onions and carrots.

Stage 3 – controlled heat: to prepare zirvak.

Stage 4 – moderate temperature: after adding the rice.

Stage 5 – slow finishing: so that the rice and meat reach the correct texture without burning the dish.

A dedicated stove makes these transitions easier to manage than a full open fire.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Cooking capacity

A 50L cauldron already falls into the category of pots designed for cooking for large groups.

Recommended pot capacity: approx. 50 L

Indicative capacity: approx. 35–60 people

Pilaf / pilaf: approx. 40–60 servings

Meat and stews: approx. 35–50 servings

Shurpa / soups: approx. 45–65 servings, depending on the serving size

These figures are indicative, as the actual capacity depends very much on the recipe and the serving size. For pilaf, for example, the pot is not simply filled to the nominal capacity; space is needed for the ingredients to be distributed and cooked properly.

Also, the dimensions of a pot declared as “50L” can vary considerably between manufacturers. For example, there are 50L Uzbek pots on the market with an outer diameter of 64 cm, which means that D59 cm should be treated as the stove/mounting area-specific diameter, not as the universal diameter of all 50L pots. Compatibility must be checked according to the specific geometry of the cauldron.

• Keep a sufficient distance from wood, furniture, textiles and other combustible materials.

• Never leave the fire unattended.

• Use heat-resistant gloves when handling hot components.

⭐ CasaGrill Verdict
The 50L Uzbek cauldron chimney stove, D59 cm is a model for those who want to move to a higher level of cauldron cooking: large quantities, better controlled fire and the possibility of preparing pilaf, shurpa or meat for large groups.

For the CasaGrill page, I would emphasize the large cooking capacity and compatibility with the Uzbek cauldron, but I wouldn't invent the metal thickness, weight, stove height, or chimney diameter if we don't have the exact data sheet.
