I have large fire pot that my grandpa had made back when he first married (about 100 years ago). It’s about 30” in diameter and about as deep. It’s made of solid copper in the pot part, folded over a 1” diameter iron top ring and fold-up handle. My grandma used to boil clothes in it, make soap, etc. I always thought you could boil crabs in it, but it sure wouldn’t fit on a stovetop.

The biggest stainless steel ones I can find on the web top out at $300.
