I use a turkey fryer burner and a stainless pot outside bought the whole setup from ebay a nice stainless base and a 8.5 gallon pot for about 70 bucks a few years back...

I used to do partial boils on the stove (I could only boil about 2 gallons on my range). I've got a 15.5 gallon keg I've modified; cut an opening in the top, added a sightglass, drain, and thermometer to the side, and put in an electric water heater element. I need to finish the internal drain plumbing, and finish wiring up the electric. 50amp wire is expensive (planning for future expansion to all-grain).

Electric is cool (I use a 120V electric water heater element to heat my hot liqueur tank ) but nothing beats propane for the boil (my turkey fryer stand fits a keg perfectly btw) I just need to find a keg myself to convert for 10 gallon boils...
I am an all grain brewer BTW
