Cut it in half and you've got a kettle and a mash tun :mebeer:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

No, you get a lid made for one half, and a really big bag; then you use one half as a brew-in-a-bag mash tun/boil kettle and the other half as a fermenter. Of course, you need a crane to remove the grain bag.
