36 qt. kettle deal
« on: May 26, 2015, 10:43:09 am »
I thought this was a pretty good deal. My old aluminum 30 qt got a pinhole in the bottom somehow so it was time to find a replacement. I am glad I could find something that is stainless in my price range. It seems to be about $20 cheaper than anywhere else.

Would it be difficult to mod this to accommodate a spigot in the future? I think if I took my time and used a uni-bit it wouldn't be too bad...

Unless you have a thing about aluminum this is a deal for the volume. Its almost 1/4" thick very happy with this one. Just my opinion though.

Good find. I don't have any issues with aluminum but would prefer stainless. Looks like with the 32 qt pot and the lid it would be about the same price.

Wait!...your subject says 36 qt. but the link is for an 82 qt. pot.  You want a 20 gallon pot?
Many of us would be on a strict liquid diet if it weren't for pretzels.

When I click the link, it takes me to a default 'select size' option. I purchased the 36 qt pot
