as doing it on the wife cooker is taking to long to come to a rolling boil

Would help if you confirmed what size volume your looking to do and also what kind of budget you have?
Several options spring to kind including but not limited to
Make a boiler yourself from the following options
1. Assemble from Plastic bucket, SS tap, nipple, lockknut, washer, silicon oring, electrical heating elements (purchase prebuilt Pico boiler or burro boiler)
2. Replace plastic bucket with SS keg or large sauce pan
3. Large sauce pan + gas burner + stand
4. Buy a grain father or similar all in one system
