I bought this 10 gallon pot with valve assembly so that I could mash and sparge in the same pot without having to pour into another bucket or pot. I am satisfied with the purchase and quality except that the valve does not come welded to the pot. It's true that it's not stated that the valve is welded, but I assumed that it would be when I bought the pot based on the picture. If it came welded, then I would have given it 5 stars.

However, the pot is very durable, seems to be well constructed, and is a little cheaper than other pots with valves. It comes with a heat shield to protect the valve and O-rings. Even with the valve assembly screwed on, there's no to minimal leaking, which is more than adequate for brewing beer or boiling crawfish.

This pot is great except for the valve locking mechanism. It doesn't lock it closed (its supposed to) but will still lock it open. Just what I need when I'm dumping a bunch of boiling liquid and forget that I have to touch a small hot piece of metal to close the valve. I guess i should just remove the little metal locking slider.

Honest reviews on Bayou Classic 10-gal. Stainless Steel Stockpot with Spigot

There's more expensive "quality" stuff out there, but this pot is perfect. Maybe a little light on the stanless, but I'm hapopy with it. The price is great. The only thing I would recommend besides getting one with a thermometer built into it is....get at least two! For now I'm using a 6 gal stock pot (which is VERY versitile) but I would like to be able to drain into my boiler then into the fermenter. I'll get another soon.

High quality materials that is well manufactured. I really like that it has a scale built into the back, easily visible from the front. The valve is very high quality and locks in place to prevent accidental opening. Very well thought out product.
