Burco boiler would be handy.
I did buy a big stainless steel boiling pot off eBay a few years back

If you lived a bit closer you could have it for a few quid, as I no longer use it

Large stock pot does the job nicely. Pick one up for not a lot from Amazon

Charity shops, boot fairs, jumble sales, amazing what you can find for little money. Lets face it you want just a big pot!
You might get lucky and find a working tea urn, or burco clothes boiler.

Depends how big you want it, try a search for stainless steel stock pots for home brewing, like these CLICK

This is mine, it's 100ltr and it will take a 25kg sack of Pigeon conditioner easily. It's coupled with a high flow reg and Paella burner (Ebay) matched to pot size.

EDIT, I bought this pot from a local Hilton hotel from Ebay for £50, it's really heavy duty, I'd hate to think what it might cost new :-0

It's a big bugger isn't it. Cross over from my other hobby, home brewing, it's a mash paddle
