Anglo body shape is usually cylindrical. The top is round in shape, and there are prominent parts in three places that serve as a cooking pad (kwali, pan, etc.). On the sidelines of the protruding part it serves as a space for airflow and fire from the bottom hole.
In the middle (where the coals) there are small holes called sarangan bollo. The hole function is for the airflow fanned from the bottom hole. On the bottom side there is one big hole called the mouth of the brazier. When this hole is fanned, the air will enter through the hole of the shaft, rising up into the embers of a fire so that the embers will ignite and heat the goods placed on the embers.
As for now. Anglo is rare we find. In because with its makers are rare. So with now people often use iron drums
