I bought this pot for our tailgates. We usually do a shrimp boil at least once a year. We had a 30 qt pot that was almost overflowing, so I thought a new pot was in order. This thing is huge. We did our normal boil for 20 people and the pot was barely over half full. Plenty of room for our tailgate to grow.

Pot is heavy duty and will last a life time. Very well made. In retrospect, I probably should have bought the 40 Qt (as the wife regularly reminds me). Was the talk of the tailgate. Now just have to figure out where I'll store it ....

Great product! Had been looking for a pot with a strainer and am very happy with this one. Big enough for the job and it gets it done! Use it for clams, corn, lobster... whatever. Nice and lightweight and "stocky" enough not to tip over easily. Strongly recommend it for the price.

You can slap a good amount of corn on the cobb in this stockpot. I've search around and this size pot made more since for average family backyard cooking. I've done a lobster in it too, and it came out great.

I love this pot. I've had a great 40 qt. pot for a decade that I've used for crawfish boiling and turkey frying but wanted a larger pot with a basket dedicated to crawfish. I was wary of the product because some reviews suggested the pot was flimsy and I wanted a tough sturdy pot. I was not disappointed, the pot is very strong with a thick rolled aluminum opening and stout handles. When filled with water and lifted, there was absolutely no movement or flex. You would have to lie the pot on its side and jump on it to bend the walls of the pot. My only regret is that I didnt buy the 80 qt. model. With the basket in, it doesnt hold much more than my 40 qt. pot did without a basket. We cooked 70 lbs. of crawfish and lots of vegetables and it took three batches. So if you are on the fence on size, go bigger. I will likely buy an 80 qt. soon.

Fast delivery! The product is everything it was described to be. We cooked lobsters and it was easy to clean afterward. I'll buy here again.

Great pot and well made but i bought it for a stove top (my mistake not theirs). it takes 20 minutes to steam and boil on my smoothtop electric stove (using two burners). The large size and basket are great for lobsters but this pot is best for an outdoor system or a large industrial stove burner. It is just too big for my wife to handle.Be forwarned it's a great value but
big!

I did not do my due dilligence on this item----but I have to say the level of quality was not the same as the turkey cooker pot I bought 5 years ago. If you are considering this item I would advise buying the stainless version instead.

This stockpot from 5-0 BBQ is big enough to handle my indoor and outdoor parties, yet not too big to handle. Easy clean-up. Great price. 5-0 BBQ company was a delight to order from.

I have a friend that cook large quanities of collards each year for family and friends. This year he surprise me with 16 quart size bags of collards for the winter. I ask him what on earth did he cook them in, he explained that he has to borrow the next door neighors pot with no lid and how much he hate doing that every year. So I found a 60 Quart with a basket and lid All purpose Aluminum pot. I ordered it just in time for Christmas. He was so please with the pot he cooked me several more bags of collards. Now he has a pot that he can use to cook large quanities for the family reunions.
Thanks Amazon!

I purchased for steaming Maryland blue crabs, clam bakes, and to make chili. I already own a smaller Bayou Classic pot but I needed the 42 qt. for more capacity. It fits perfectly on the side burner of my grill and also fits on my kitchen stove with plenty of clearance under the exhaust hood. Exactly what I expected and made with the same quality as my smaller, older pot. Be sure to thoroughly clean the inside of the pot before using, as mine had a greasy film on the inside (especially where the handles were drilled into the pot). I highly recommend and Amazon was cheaper than my local Lowes.
