I saw one of these at lowe's. I wasn't that impressed. I had seen these when doing some kettle searching, and though it looked great, but the "bowl" at the top is so big it looks like it might get top heavy on a full volume boil because the bowl is obviously part of the total 8G volume, and because of this the main body is pretty narrow. With a 6.5 gallon volume on a 90 min boil there wold be about 2 gallons in the bowl form the looks of it.
