The German "Große Feldküche Hf.13W" was a two-wheeled field kitchen, the center of which housed a 200 liter pot. That stew-cooking vessel was double-bottomed, with a layer of glycerin between the inner and outer pot to prevent scorching and to aid in heat preservation. To the left of the pot was a 90 liter coffee maker, which dispensed from a tap. The pot could also be used simply for heating water. Hot water was often needed to dilute the stew produced in the big pot, a stew that often turned quite thick when it was kept in a heated state. On the right was a stove plate used to cook potatoes and sausages. Fire doors for each of these appliances were on the rear for the stoking of coal or firewood. With the wagon was also carried a Meat Grinder, a Coffee Grinder, Kitchen Utensils plus the Food provisions for one day. A single "Große Feldküche Hf. 13" could feed some 125 to 225 men. These mobile Field Kitchens were lovingly known as Gulaschkanonen, and, basically, each Company had one. My model is made from the Fine Scale Factory white metal kit, and built straight out of the box. (The figures, BTW, are a mixture of HÄT, FSF and IT Miniatures.)
