Inexpensive out door burner

I'm doing an outdoor brew demonstration for a friends birthday and need an inexpensive way to boil 5 gallons other than a Turkey Fryer. Any suggestions from the evergrowing brain that is "The BN Army"?

Why is a turkey fryer not an option? It meets all your criteria: cheap, outdoor, boils things.

I need an inexpensive, human-powered, two-wheeled conveyance to get me to work in the morning other than a bicycle. Any suggestions? :D

Turkey Fryers are sold out around town.

Did you ever think of one of these to get to work?

Free shipping, would do the job. I have one similar to this, bought it at home depot or $40 summer of last year I think it was. All you need is a propane tank and I've made lots of beer on mine, I even use the burner for my keggle now. I was very surprised it would support it but it's been fine and now I use the 30qt pot the kit came with in the kitchen to heat up sparge water (I do quite a few sparges).

I picked up a Bayou Classic at Home Depot for $50. Includes the stand.

Might be careful if you go to walmart or wherever to pick up a fryer. The one I bought has a built in thermocouple that will shut off the burner if the temp inside the pot it came with gets too hot. I imagine I can't start the burner without it so if I ever want to change pots I'll have to buy a new burner which blows.
