If I wanted one in a hurry, I'd make one using off-the-shelf parts. A brake 
drum, 3 threaded 6' nipples (2" diameter, a T-fitting, a flange, and an end 
cap, and some sort of frame or metal table to set it in- no big deal. A cheap 
blow dryer for a fan, and a quick and easy gate in dryer hose, a dab of duct 
tape and you're done.

OTOH, I'm sure Blacksmith Depot could get you one fairly quickly- or Centaur 
forge- http://www.centaurforge.com/products.asp?dept=160
