My Kingdom for a Keggle...(how to convert kegs?)

[EinGutesBier]

I know someone who is considering giving me a keg or two. From what I heard, some people use kegs as modified kettles. I looked in the DIY section (maybe not hard enough) and couldn't find something directly about making a keggle out of a keg. Despite their size, is it possible to use them for just a 10 gallon batch? I used my old 6 gallon standard kettle for a 5.5 gal. batch and it didn't help my efficiency too much.

Second, is it possible to convert a keg into a sort of decent fermentation carboy? If anyone has any links or pictures, etc. on how to do this, I'd be really grateful. Thanks!

An article on keggles can be found here - it's a good read.
