This replaces my smaller boiling pot for crab season.  It's a great price for a stainless pot of this size.  I have a few other stainless pots for homebrewing which cost as much or more for a much smaller pot.  The handles are very useful and riveted on.  The inner basket is useful for lifting whatever you're boiling out of the water without having to move and dump it.  For me, it's definitely an outdoor pot, not for the stove.
