Vat, Stockpot Or Pan - Where Buy?

[Jaspar]

I got a 13 gallon Amish canner and I use it with a large cooler.
Ive made two 10 gallon makes with it, all seems to be going well.
The first time I did it on the floor, to low, this time I spanned it over two folding chairs and it was much easier to work with. The cooler also doubles as a storage chest for the other equipment.
   Here is a link to the post on the first make.

That's interesting though it's only about 2.5 gallons I think....wonder how expensive it is??

I got a 5.5 gal stockpot from Walmart.  Tramintina (spelling?) brand.  It was under $50.

PS:  Stainless steel with a heavy ss encapsulated bottom.

I went looking in Walmart online and found this. I was looking for a larger pot. Perhaps this is it.

I've been super happy with my hotel pan set up. I can heat 6 gallons slowly with ease for hard cheeses, keep the temp steady overnight for soft cheeses, and clean-up is no problem. The whole set up cost me $150

I use a bottom of a pressure cooker for my milk and a large granite pan for the water bath, it works well and holds at least 5 gallons.
