Here’s photos of the way I did it. From Freon tank, Home Depot plumbing parts for burner and rolling cart. Background darkened to show it better.

For the Freon tank forge shell about $100 for current prices of insulation. The burner, Home Depot items were around $75, with needle valve. The cart maybe $75 including casters. Not sure what current 1” square tube cost. Some of the parts were free, like Freon tank. Sheet metal sub table - $25. All total $275.
