hobo dinner cooking pot

[loghomer]

Anyone know where I can buy a big deep cooking pot? I tried a new metal 30 gallon garbage can but it leaks. I don't think they where made to hold water. Walmart has 30 gallon but I would like a deeper and bigger one!!thanx

Have you checked the yellow pages for a local resturant supply house?<br /><br />Do a search for Commercial Stock Pot on the internet.

You don't want to use a garbage can anyway, it's galvanized. Not good. Check ebay for an apple butter kettle.

<br /><br />23 gallon, $700 plus $100 shipping (104#)<br />33 gallon, $900 + $100 shipping (146#)<br />45 gallon, $1700 plus freight (250#)<br />85 gallon, $3000 plus freight, (410#)<br />lehmans.com<br /><br />Now, how bad did you want a large kettle?<br /><br />What do you plan on cooking in it?<br />Probably cheaper to have a large stainless steel tank welded up.

You can buy a stock pot or a deep one like we use for deep frying turkeys. If you want larger than that I dunno.

Real hobos cooked in a 1# coffee can, or stole their dinner from a window sill.
