Pot quality...

[Mark Goodin]

Hey, Can anyone vouch for the quality of some of the Brew Pots on TM? There have been a bunch popping up over the past month or so and are at reasonable prices.

 

Pots like this 31Lt one...buy now of $55 is quite tempting. Or even $75 for a 71Lt pot....

I have one of the cheap Trade Me pots and, just for shits and giggles, I weighed it and tried to work out the wall thickness using my high-school math.

Total weight including a welded 1/2" 3 piece ball valve and a pick-up tube was 2.76KG, so about 2.5 KG tops for a 70L kettle. This suggests a wall thickness of under 0.5mm.

Works fine though.
