Whatever you get, be sure it has a frame stout enough to hold the weight of your pots.
This! I'm not so sure you need super duper btus or high pressure lines but I do know many are rather flimsy intended for only a gallon or two of frying oil or water for seafood boil. I use a #3 wash tub for dying and it's a pretty touch and go balacing act with that much water.

I do just like adc's setup. If it is cold or windy a windbreaker helps a lot. I have also used an old garbage can with no bottom as a windbreaker, just slip it over the top of the burner. You may have to cut a hole for the hose. This really helps a lot with boiling time.

I built a Venturi burner for my homemade propane forge. Just put the pot on cinder blocks and used fire brick to build a little oven underneath, set up my forge next to it and direct the flame under the pot. I can forge stakes and boil traps without using extra propane

I don't use the legs when I have a big vat on the thing. They are bolt on optional

You know, my mother in law gave us an extra "smart cooker" a couple years ago. We already had one in our kitchen so was trying to be polite and accepted her gift of a second one. That thing melts 10 lbs of wax very nicely and you can control the temp setting easily...and no flame concerns with the melted wax. I did a bunch of bridger 3s, montana 2s, and DPs yesterday while I was doing other stuff in the garage anyway. Plus i smile to myself when i think of what my mother in law would do if she knew what I was using her gift for! Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Any low priced fish cooker will do. Oil will be heated to 350/400 degrees, and water boils @ 212. You can catch them for $49 regularly and on sale down to $29, especially this time of year.
