It amasses me that I can do more with my phone than i can with my laptop. it took me about 20 min to figure out and cut the slots needed in the galvanised garbage can, and I have boiled that 11x13 twice now, and the bottom hasen't burned out or even started leaking.

Hot water through a pressure washer and about 15 min of your time and it should be good to go.

I've also been using the 45 gallon drum cut in half method. The advantage of the drums being somewhat weaker once they're cut is you can bend the top to whatever shape you want such as oval. Plus since you can usually get them very cheap or even free, you can experiment with them. I also put a bunch of large rocks in the bottom of it to limit the water. This helps heat it up faster and then retains some of the heat more to simmer it. Just make sure you still have a layer of water between the skull and rocks.
