An old beer keg is the best. Really heavy metal. I plasma cut the top off, leaving two spots on the rim for grip handles. Great for brewing beer, frying turkeys or anything else that fly's, trots, swims, or crawls. They are also great for using as the scald pot when butchering and plucking chickens, ducks, geese, and the like. FWIW, last year we also deep fried some guinea hens. They were great. We have begun to drift from store bought turkeys. Once you've had fresh you will never go back.

Just what size stove does one need to use a BEER KEG as a pot, pray tell? Our piddly burners won't handle a beer keg :-).
