Product:
I haven't got to use it yet BUT.. The bottom is very thick (as described), it feels sturdy, lid fits well, it makes a great 'gong' noise when empty.
I'll try to post some more meaningful feedback after I brew a couple batches.
Shipping:
I was worried due to a few other reviews (not just this specific product) talking about dings from shipping. I am very pleased to report that even though the box looks like it was drop kick from the truck to my door the pot is in perfect condition.
Update:
The bad...It appears that some black material (polishing compound?) shadowed every stamped shape inside of the pot. This stuff pretty time consuming to remove. I tried scrubbing with a wet rag, a heavy scrub brush, a tooth brush but eventually found the only way to get it out was to knock it free with a toothpick then scrub it away with a rag. After that I boiled 5 gal of water inside which seemed to clear out the remainder of whatever it was. So that whole process sucked pretty bad. I really want to give this a 5 star because i love the pot but i have to take a star away for this issue.
The Good... The following day i used the pot to boil 5 gal of wort and it worked great. Towards the end of the boil i cranked the heat (54000 BTU burner) to get a raging boil because i was a little high on fluid volume and did not see a trace of scorching once we drained out the wort.
I have not yet verified that the volume markings on the inside of the pot are correct. If i get around to it i'll re-port the results of that investigation.

This stock pot was decent. Thinner walls than I expected, but I'm okay with it. The bottom was layered and my first brew went fine (no burning bottoms). I should have gotten the indent at the top instead of the bottom (they make it both ways).Enjoy
