answers please.
Edit : So I probably should have been more specific . Im looking for a big cooking pot , not one of those factory mixing tanks lol. I guess something that is about the size of about 100 Litres
Someone here suggested I speak to a black smith about it an I honestly have no Idea how to even begin contacting blacksmiths in toronto. If you can let me know then please do. I do have a couple things Im willing to pay to have welded , this pot included. But my biggest questions to the blacksmith would be:
-
'How do I determine the ‘quality’ of the steel thst is being used? What the hell is ‘steel quality’ anyways? can it be quantified or is it qualitatively determined or both?
-
I am looking for steel that could almost last me a lifetime so any ideas as to what I should evem begin to research about when it comes to steel like this? ?
-
’ Im looking for steel that is resistant to water and hot water for the pot that I need welded and then I am looking for steel that is resitant to sweat and external forces (both horizontal and vertical) for this pull up station I need welded where can I research what types of steels I need for these two types of products?
Go to a restaurant supply store. They’ll have a stock pot that large.
I’m not familiar with Canadian law, but I think people from Toronto are allowed to buy pots just as big as the rest of us can.
I’m not a lawyer, though.
Not since the pot riots of ‘72
Riots? That was just a vigorous case of the munchies.
I’ve heard it described as more of a food fight
What are you up to, bro?shhh dont tell the feds.
Dug Ford doosn’t have that much drugs in his body.
more like Drug Ford , eh!?
My favourite is still Drug Fraud
Okay
Go to an Indian grocery wholesaler. You can get a pot the size of a kiddie pool
Lots of restaurant supply stores in that city. You’ll have to go in person but you’ll find big ones there.
A cybertruck?
Bruh. That was funny. Thanks
You need to contact a catering supply company, ie for restaurants and such, here’s one a 2 minute Google found:

100qt is about 115l
Honestly go to the kitchen supply store in Chinatown on Spadina, they have everything. Last time I went there looking for a cleaver they had a dozen different kinds.
Tap Phong. And yes, they have large pots. Like half-a-wine-barrel-sized pots. And not even expensive. Favourite store in the city.
Do you have a way to heat a pot that big?
Well I wont be doing anything too hot with it. As in the water wont be boiling
In addition to the good suggestions here check commercial restaurant kitchen equipment suppliers. There are plenty of things to contact a blacksmith about but a pot isn’t one of them in my mind… maybe if you want a hand hammered cauldron but… it is going to be vastly cheaper to find something commercially available ESPECIALLY with stainless steel… I don’t know any blacksmiths working with stainless steel. I dunno how I got on about stainless steel… magnetism is an easy way to roughly check grades of stainless… what you want depends on your requirements
You win. Much much bigger than my mixing tank
Ooh, if OP is trying to cook something that would actually conduct heat though
50 gallon drum for Mr. Dahmer over here
They ship This via freight and it’s fucking massive
Ah, I see they have the crackhappy hot tub on sale.
Just two cents:
In the us the biggest pots I’ve seen for cooking - they were always at an Asian supermarket. Some of them were enormous woks, but they had big cookpots also.
I would also look into camp fire pots, that you have to hang from a tall tripod - those can be really big also.
