Looking for some more glasses, I ran across the Old Time Pottery add and they've got several sizes of stainless steel stock pots on sale. "All Sizes - $4.99!" Even says they have a 20qt.
 
I have one of these and have been using it for years. They're very thin gauge steel, bot work just fine if those volumes are good for you.
 
I found a cheap ($14) 20qt SS pot at Dollar General for my first brew. But, it's not really 20qt. It's more like 18qt on a good day. Found this out the day I was going to use it for a sparge vessel for my first AG BIAB. I had to go back and recalculate strike and sparge volumes. And even then, at sparge, I had about a 1/4 of head space. But it worked.
 
I have four of them. One was a gift. Two cost $8 each. ...can't remember the fourth...

Boil your wort in more than one pot and combine it back into your fermentor.
