Does anyone know of a good inexpensive source for a 8 or 10 gallon brew pot

This is as cheap as I have seen.

The aluminum pots from sam's are a good price. Stainless steel will cost more. There are lots of restaurant supply places on the web to check out. Do some internet browsing/shopping.

My wife picked up a 32 qt "Tamale Steamer" at Walmart for $25. I boiled in it last weekend.

I like stainless for the simple fact that you don't have to worry about taking of the patina. If I scorch it I can use a metal pot scrubber.

Check this place out. They don't have the pot I bought anymore (35qt excel steel 79.99) but do have other options for good prices. You will have to modify them IE drill holes but thats not difficult.

Yeah, I saw and considered one of these at my local Jewel for $20, If I hadn't just bought a cheap stainless 20QT ,it seems like a good way to go. Its much thicker than my little stainless and relatively well built

I've used one of these for about 4 batches so far and it has worked great. I'd love to figure out how to turn the steaming insert into a false bottom.

I use the one Starrfish mentioned from Austin Homebrew and love it. It is a bit wider than I thought and I have to make sure it's centered on my burner though.

As a partial masher doing partial boils, I just use an enamel canning pot. 21.5 quarts, since my wife cans, it is dual purpose just need to make certain not to scratch it. Whole set can be had for under $30 from a variety of sources.

I have been eyeballing this 9 gallon pot from Bayou Classic in case I ever go AG.
