I would recommend you go with your wife to yardsales and flea markets and find youself an old cast iron pot. Even an old dutch oven would work well over the turkey fryer. I've had poor results with steel pots for some reason, don't really know why. Perhaps they don't hold heat well.
On the other hand, if its all 'ya got giver her a try. No harm done other than you wouldn't want to cook beans in it anymore.............
