Default Does anyone have this 40QT SS Kettle?

Found it on Amazon. Reviews make it seem OK but wanted to get trusted HBT opinions on quality and price:

I'll be using it for full wort boil BIAB batches.

If you have it I'd love to see a real pic of yours.

Thanks guys!

Seems pretty spendy, IMHO.

Bayou classic has a 44qt SS pot with basket (handy for BIAB) for a little less:

Alternatively, Spike brewing has a 40qt pot with welded in coupler for the same price:

It does not list the manufacturer in the ad but looks exactly like the pot I have. It is made by Winco. I have the 5 gallon version and is is a very well made pot. Nice thick bottom and solid handles. I got mine at a local restaurant supply.

The others listed by jammin could be good pots too. I have seen the Bayou Classic pot and am considering one for myself. Have not seen the Spike pot in person.

Thanks, yep I'm aware of both but I'm concerned about scorching my BIAB if it's sitting near the bottom of the Bayou or Spike pot as it's only single layer. The Amazon one has a sandwich bottom on it.

I'm also not sure I need a ball valve on it as I'll probably just siphon from the kettle to the carboy.

A reviewer on Amazon commented that it is a Winco pot.

I also like that it is free shipping for the $130.

As an update here, went with an Update International SPS-40 for a good price on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Update-International-SPS-40-Induction-Stainless/dp/B000X1OLJW/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1351922685&sr=1-1&keywords=sps-40

Apparently these are the same pots Midwest Supplies sells but through Amazon I scored free shipping.

Cheers!

Does anyone know if the bayou burner pot is magnetic? I have an induction stove and am looking for a 40+ at pot.

Pretty sure it isn't. You'll need something with a clad bottom, SS with sandwiched aluminum

Mine is. I have the one with the spigot and steaming basket (44qt).
