Thank you, all. Especially appreciated the Ben Stein back up.
Yes, there are many online sources for a Paella Pan. Unfortunately, the truly large ones do get expensive. The largest pan at Sur La Table, for instance, is 22", which is rated for 9-12 people. I envisioned more of a show stopper size, capable of feeding 25-30. This requires a 28" or 31" pan, which runs $105 to $119.
More importantly, it is recommended that you use a Paella burner for the larger pans. A Paella burner has concentric circles of flame to better cover the pan. The larger the pan, the larger the burner needed.
So, I thought if I could rent both pan and burner, that would be a wise choice for what may be an infrequently used item. I do have a Weber charcoal grill (gas too), but that is 22.5" across, smaller than the pan I need.
I don't have a turkey fryer, and although friends do, again, I am concerned about proper heat displacement on the Paella pan.
I'm not against the $400 buy-in of pan + burner, but at that price point, renting would be an attractive alternative.
