Rated from 50,000 to 65,000BTU, and are all over ebay really cheap ($25 +ship). The ones made of cast iron with three or four legs both work fine and are plenty sturdy enough to hold a pot of boiling wort. They come with a 7.5 gallon aluminum pot which can be a little small to do 5 gallon boils with, but if you watch it like a hawk, you can get away with it.
