Master Finnr in Caer Mear sells *very* nice iron pots.  These are
cast with legs (in case you don't want to hang it from a tripod or
whatever) and include lid.  He only carries on hand the smaller 
sizes (1-2 qt), but can order and have shipped pots up to 25 gallons.
(Note that that's "Imperial" gallons, slightly smaller than US
measure.  My "4 Gallon" pot (still in the box, but one of these 
lifetimes...  sigh...) is actually rated to be 9.9 US quarts.)

I'm in Isenfir (Charlottesville, Va.) which may be a trifle 
inconvenient for someone in the Maryland/DC area, but I'd be
willing to loan my pot if arrangements can be made, and/or I 
can forward your request to Master Finnr (as I don't believe 
he's subscribed to the list).

Let me know if I can be of service!
