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:

  1. '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?

  2. 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? ?

  3. ’ 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?

    Torontonians need not limit themselves in potential; they simply require belief and steely resolve

    Tap Phong in downtown Toronto may not have them on their website but if you called they would have better idea of what they have on their shelves.

    Lots of restaurant supply stores in that city. You’ll have to go in person but you’ll find big ones there.

    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.

    My first thought would be a kitchen supply store like a WholeSale club, if there’s one in Toronto. I bet you could probably order larger pots direct from the manufacturer of said pots too.

    AFAIK steel quality is more about use case then any type that is best overall; so, I would think all pots are made out of the same type of steel and it isn’t something you should be worried about. That being said, anything made of steel could last a lifetime if you take care of it and avoid throwing it into a volcano.

    There’s lists out there that …list each types proclivities or at least there were before ai fucked everything. Some types are more resistant to corrosion then others but softer, some more brittle but keep an edge longer, etc.
