What a great price......there's got to be a catch... what's wrong with this
pot?

not a damn thing, i bought one of the 10 gallon aluminum. will last me many
batches, a little thinwalled  but a great deal in my opinion

The catch is, you get what you pay for. The SS pots from Stratford are
quite thin, the 80 qt pot I bought from them has a wall thickness of
.024" They will however do the job and hold up for a long time.

A couple more places to check out.  I can't offer any personal experience
with any of these products or suppliers.

Yep, they are a bit on the thin side but I'm pretty satisfied with them. I
bought two 40qt aluminium pots from Stratford, one for the mash and one for
the boil.

I saw something interesting*** from a rafter at Menard's the other day.
A 160qt aluminium pot w/lid for $199 by special order.

Look at Beer Beer & More Beer www.morebeer.com

I have been very happy with the 14 gallon that I got from them.

If you think you will ever want to do 10 gallon batches you might consider
the 14 gallon size (if you can brew with it now, it is huge).

Try Homebrew Heaven. A 9 Gallon pot runs $74.95.

Anyone know where to get them in Canada??  I'm going to need one soon but I
don't want to order from the states.

I saw a larger stainless pot at Crappy Tire one day early in the
summer.  I can't remember the size & pricing, but it was much larger
than my cheapo 20L pots & seemed to be reasonable.  I always meant to
go back & take a second look.  Don't know if they're still in stock.
You might also check with a specialty cookware shop (if you're in a
larger city), but they may be pricey.
