Always have the woodstove going in the shop. Looking for a container I can leave on the stove to keep hot/warm water at the ready. A couple gallons at least preferably more. Lots of room on the stove. Keep from using electricity for hot water use. It will need to be good for domestic use. Drinking, hygiene, cooking etc. Would prefer something other than cast iron other than ceramic lined or something. USA made would be a plus. Any recommendations. Thanks all and Merry Christmas.

I use a large cooking pot from a yard sale. The steam helps heat the place & hot water for washing dishes is handy. The problem with your request is keeping water sanitary would require a closed container. It must then have a pressure release to be safe from steam exploding the container. | |||

Perhaps an all stainless steel tea kettle might be what you're seeking? --Tom The right of self preservation, in turn, was understood as the right to defend oneself against attacks by lawless individuals, or, if absolutely necessary, to resist and throw off a tyrannical government. | |||

When we heated with wood I found my wife's canner, from years ago. Porcelain coated steel.Worked like a champ. Relieved the winter dry air that wrecks your sinuses. | |||

Something like this maybe? https://www.brewinternational....gBu6Hw0aAkVFEALw_wcB Also thinking of something to set it on so not directly on the stove. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

A canning kettle should be perfect. They come in various sizes, and have a loose fitting lid that would vent steam. | |||

Large stainless pot with a stainless ladle. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "If dogs don't go to Heaven, I want to go where they go" Will Rogers The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own... | |||

Aluminum turkey frying pot. It will hold 5 gallons and has a top to keep out dust/keep the temperature up. Pretty cheap to buy, too. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

Do you have running water in the shop? A copper coil mounted on the wood stove would be a good way to heat water. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | |||

Amazon has a: COLETTI Scoutmaster Camp Coffee Pot — Cowboy Coffee Pot, Coffee Percolator Camping – Huge Stainless Steel Coffee Pot – The Ultimate Camping Percolator, NO Aluminum or Plastic [24 Cup] That would probably work. | |||

| probably a good thing I don't have a cut |
Go to GoodWill at find a big pot there. Don't pay full retail for a new one. Edit: I just did a search on Walmart for a 8qt pot. It is in stock for $8.94, ready for pick up. Probably can't even find that price at a thrift store. Mainstays 8-Qt Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Metal LidThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Paten, | |||

Looks like a good SCALDING waiting to happen in a workshop ! Not dumping on the thread. just a concern about long 2x4, angle iron, piece of pipe etc. being carried or swung around without due process. Knocking 10 gallons of hot or boiling water over would not be a pleasant experience? | |||
