My suggestion is getting a turkey fryer. Then when you want to upgrade from that all you'll need is a bigger pot.

Had my first boil over yesterday. 2nd batch. Happened on late DME addition. I got it up fast, had to buy new drip pans for 2 burners.

I have all that but it's 10 degrees out side with a windchill of below zero and no garage. Kitchen it is

I'm on my 6th batch and have had 2 boil-overs. It's definitely messy, so that's why I brew in the garage. Just grab the water hose and wash it down the driveway. I started adding the hops slower (versus dumping them all at once) and that has helped. Also a spray bottle will help.
