Tunzilla:
I borrowed this coffee pot from work. It heats 4.5 gallons of water to 177 degrees in about 15 minutes.
This is Tunzilla feeding my $54 10 gallon alluminum pot.
I did buy a decent propane jet burner for about 50 bucks to boil my wort
I don't have a picture of it, but I cool my wort in an ice bath in an old wash tub.
Overall my setup is about as ghetto as you can get.

Ha! That may be, but I have about 100 bucks in my entire set-up, including the propane burner.
I'm quite proud of my thrift. SWMBO thinks I'm nuts
Ok, ok, you're back in the ghetto.
Some pretty good set ups so far. But some say they're ghetto,& use electronic thermometers,etc. I use a glass one tied to the SS stock pot handle with 3-4 twist ties. Ice bath in the sink. Homer cheapo bucket or stock pot for hauling top off water to the fermenter. Bummin rides to the LHBS to get stuff when I can afford it. Old printer stand for a fermenter stand/storage unit,& it has pieces missin. But some of you def got it!...
So,I'm startin to wonder if we're ghetto,or just slummin?...
