25 gallon pot for 15 bucks!

Hey guys i was walkikng around my local flea market and i found this

It seems to be some kind of kitchen pot, though it has wheels i looks like the perfect vessel to mash in. It has a pump that can drain liquid out of the pot. I
bought it for 15 bucks the guy had no clue what he had or he really liked the fact i brew beer b/c i owe him a 6 pack and i paid him 15 bucks for this. It is 25 gallons.

I am about to do a full grain and just finished my mash tin, however can anyone see any type of potential in it. The pump works so i was thinking one day i can make it into a huge mash tin. Or is is a loss cause?

Can you pop the wheels off and turn it into a boil kettle? You could drill out the hose connection and put in a weldless fitting for a ball valve.

yes that is what i thought but i have never heard of weld-less fittings i will research that.
THANKS!

wow - that's massive

You could put an electric heating element on that and keep the wheels!

what would constitute a heating element and where can i get one? do you mean like coil that warms up inside of it?

It's an element that goes inside your water heater. You can get it from Lowes, Home Depot, or any other hardware store. Look in the DIY section here for more info.

Once in awhile a blind squirrel finds an acorn, Son you found your nut. Congrats! on the find.

Looks like a steam heated kettle to me. You got a steal.

Look on e-bay at the prices of these before tearing it up...

Thanks alot guys!!
