I bought this to use as the boiler for homebrewing beer. It says 30 quarts which is 7.5 gallons. Plenty of room to brew 5 gallons of beer with out boilover. Wrong!!! The pot is only about 6.3 gallons. First batch, boilover! I'm very disappointed in their mislabeling of their product. I'm temped to return them the whole thing, burnt on brew and all. Also the steel is so thin, when they attached the handles the pot warped so the top doesn't lay flat.

Nicely constructed and strong enough for what I needed. The heating element base paint (coating) instantly began to char off upon first use and I'm sure this will lead to eventual rusting but I don't think that will be a major issue. The pot seems to hold up well so far. The timer is a bit annoying. I wish they'd make a way to bypass it. I'm using it mostly for home brewing beer and having to push the button every 15 minutes is just one more thing to keep track off as you are keeping timing on adding hops etc. All in all, well built and I think I'll get many good years out of it.Best Deals for King Kooker SS1267 Stainless Steel 30-Quart Turkey Frying Propane
The stainless pot is a really thin gauge and dents easily. It also rusted a bit where the flame sits the bottom of the pot. Also I would recommend getting a unit WITHOUT the shutoff timer on it. The unit only stays on for 15 minutes and you need to keep messing with it and relighting it. I use this for making beer which requires the burner for be on for about 2 hours at a time. The 15 minute shutoff really sucks and you can't take the timer out.Honest reviews on King Kooker SS1267 Stainless Steel 30-Quart Turkey Frying Propane
I rate this product five stars due to a good cost/quality ratio. I use it for homebrewing.Many complaints about large stockpots have to do with the quality of the handles. I have lifted this pot over 75 times with 12+ pounds of grain and 5.5 gallons of water in it and the handles remain solid as a rock. The metal is a bit thin but I have never scorched wort on the bottom and it cleans up great with a scothbrite pad. The only complaint I have is that when brewing a 5.5 gallon batch of beer, one must start with a pre-boil volume of about 6.5 gallons. This volume of wort is dangerously close to the top of the kettle and boilovers are a problem. This isn't really the fault of the kettle though, just be careful as you approach boiling temps and lower the heat as necessary. This is a great kettle for the money.
