Can't really measure thickness, but I would say that it is a heavy to standard grade and good quality. Hope this helps!

I think it feels fairly thick/heavy duty. Definitely a good solid kettle in my eyes.

I can't say for sure, but it feels as thin as it could possibly be. That doesn't mean it's not effective, and it is thicker on the bottom for heat insulation to prevent scorching. It just doesn't feel as tough as it could be and can dent very easily.

Well, I don't have a micrometer, but it's the same thickness as my Lee undergravel riser tubes, standard size, it fits perfect, it is thinner than 1/16 wall

It is fairly thick. The pot is heavy. I have the 8Q size. It is stainless steel and then there is another layer on the bottom. It can be used with gas, electric & induction ranges.

The pan is approximately 14" diameter at the widest part. The depth of the pan is 5". I don't have a way to measure wall thickness but it is a substantial pan. It is not a thin copper. It is a wonderful pan, it heats really evenly and you can get a really strong boil on the fruit. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

It's stainless; but pretty slow to reach boiling. I also think that my unit leaks and I just purchased it a few months ago; but that may have been my problem with overfilling. Otherwise it's a nice kettle.

I no longer have the item but I believe the thickness of the wall was no more than 1/2 inch.

Rodrigo, Bayou says they are 304, I now own 2 of these, one mash tun one boil kettle for my brew sculpture. I will be getting a 3rd for hot loquor tank. The quality is not that of a blichman but also half the cost. You will not be disappointed.

I honestly have not measured the thickness but a rough guess would be about 1/16 of an inch...It is good quality...We use it hanging 4" sch40 drain pipe...

.2 inches thick (5.08 mm). Mine hasn't bent at high heat on jet burner with a huge shrimp boil pot on it...

For what it's worth, I homebrew with a bayou classic 1046 142 quart pot as a brew kettle (it's significantly heavy when empty). Although I had bricks in place, apparently much of my weight was on the burner. It flexed on me after running high heat for quite some time and roughly 25 gallons of wort in it. The bricks picked up and supported the weight. I now use cinder blocks positioned around it to support the pot and make sure it is up off the burner. Just be careful. If you're worried, get some extra support and set your mind at ease.

It looks like 1/4 to 3/8 inches thick. Very hard to tell on the machine.Hope this helps.

Not very thick. Used mine 6 or 7 times and it is full of holes. I guess I did not clean it up good enough after steaming shrimp and crabs. Find a heavy duty pot.

not sure why you're asking for dimensions of a kettle that the seller wouldn't replace when it broke after the first use. same for other reviewers. i would look for something else. i just bought an immersion heater since none of the stainless kettles seem to work well (quit after first use - chinese products unfortunately)

Hi,I have this kettle and the interior bottom of the pot is stainless steel. The walls are some type of thermo-plastic which is very tough and offers some insulation. It is super easy to clean and it opens wide enough so that I can get my hand inside to clean it. If you use tap water (rather than filtered water) you may have some mineral build up but that is easily removed with some vinegar.I've been very happy with this kettle.

I'd like to point out it's not actually stainless but cast zinc that has been machined to a brushed finish. Zinc is the same thing that goes into galvanizing so it won't corrode. I went ahead and got the zinc model because my local shop was out of the plastic body. I'm glad I did because I think it's a lot quieter just by virtue of the weight of the unit. It's VERY heavy and operates very quietly. My wife makes the coffee before I even wake up and I can't even hear the grinder in our bedroom on the other side of the wall. If noise is an issue I think the zinc body helps.
