For those who don't have the room for a burco or other industrial size receptacle for boiling up frames, what do you do to clean recovered frames for re-use?

I was thinking of getting a catering size soup/stock pan on the cheap from somewhere, getting the water to the boil on the cooker then transferring it to a mobile gas ring I have set up out in the back. Other than the obvious caveat about lugging a huge pan of boiling water out to the garden is this feasible? I don't have huge volumes of frames needing cleaning at the moment, but if I don't start to get on top of it soon I will have (and I need more frames!).

As a linked question, if you're recovering frames that have combs of brood, do you bother trying to reclaim the wax or just chuck it? I hear chickens are supposed to be very good at clearing these kind of frames but my only encounter with them tends to involve a secret blend of herbs and spices.
