Finally! New Pot.

Last year I asked for input on an equipment purchase. I finally decided to buy a bigger pot. I have been using a 20qt canner cooker. Well, it's been an odyssey. I ordered a stainless 30qt from Amazon, with mixed reviews. Most complaints were weak handles. Sure enough, when I stress tested the first pot, one handle broke off. The bottom wasn't flat either. Amazon took it back and sent another in a flash. The handles were good, but it warped the first time I used it. Sent that one back too, decided not to try that model again. I hoped for another gift certificate from Santa. Then I would move up in the world and buy a tri-ply 8 gallon pot. Not so lucky. So I ordered the Bayou Classic 30qt aluminum turkey fryer kit. Arrived yesterday, stove tested (water only) tonight. Hurrah! Heats fast, and the thermometer is even accurate. Next batch is full boil!
