Still more expensive than the Maltmiller kit but it does have temp control.

Regular.
My gas hob uses propane, off a 19kg bottle. But, being fixed to an electric grill and oven, isn't exactly loose!
I might treat myself to some new fermentation buckets. Currently have 4 but only one has a decent fitting lid (yes I do expect bubbles through the airlock!).
You don't even need a boiler, a pot on the stove will do.
Trouble is anyone who gets into all grain and stays with it, won't settle for the minimum equipment

I guess so, but personally, in my attempts at BIAB on a stove-top I found temperature control for mashing a bit tricky; it's a lot easier with a boiler. The only thing I still brew on the stove-top these days is the parsnip stout, and that's cos it doesn't require mashing. I am one who's stayed with the basic equipment, though. I prefer its zen-like simplicity!
Thanks for all of the replies.
I’ve managed to pick up an igloo water cooler 25ltr for £15, a tefal induction hob for £20 and a Kegland SS boiler for £50. Need a mesh bag a grain kit from Santa for a New Year brew.
Oh and a bit more reading / Utube watching

Are you using the Igloo as a mash tun?
Yes, hoping I’ve got that right after reading up on it
Is it the square blue or tall orange variety?
You can make great beer with that basic equipment.
I used to use a cool box mash tun and a burco boiler I made fantastic beers with that set up.
I predict judging by the fact that you've already got a 30 liter pressure fermenter, oxybar and corny kegs, you won't be able to resist upgrading eventually
Tall orange
I got the square blue for mash tun but I made a copper manifold for it.
