Anyone Use This Aluminum Stockpot?

I recently received the following 10 gallon stock pot for Christmas...

I haven't used it yet, but am wondering if anyone on here has any experience with it. It wasn't the pot that I wanted and I'm trying to decide if I want to return it or not. It's shorter (10.5") and bigger diameter (16.5") than most 10 gallon pots I've seen.

Not a known commercial brand. Winware is how I would go. Or Bayou Classic.

The Winware is the one I wanted.

If you don't like it, return it. Amazon has an incredibly easy return program.
If you start using it and something goes wrong, you're just going make yourself angry.
I have the Winware. I think its a great pot.

For the same price as the winware this one seems to include a lid. It looks like a good deal. I have a winware and I am happy with it. Let us know how this works out.....I may be able to use another pot.

I have a winware 10 gal and just got the thunder group 15 gal. Both are commercial quality, thick walled AL stock pots.

Keep in mind that a shorter and wider pot will have a higher boil off rate than a tall skinny pot.

I would wonder if the handle connections might leak. I use this one from Bayou Classic.

The photo for this Bayou Classic shows riveted handles, but they have changed and they are welded in place. It works great and is stainless.
