Please generate a short description of a dreary scene outside a coastal area beach with a cauldron and pans.
assistant
Huge shallow flat pans are laid out in a square, filled with a mixture of cloudy water and wet salt crystals. A large canvas tarpaulin held up by a tall post at each corner covers the pans for the evening. A large iron cauldron burbles in the darkness, dimly illuminated by the orange glow of a fire in a small stove that appears to have been improvised from scraps of old armor.
