VERY LARGE Stockpot needed

[Mesquite]

Does anyone coming to the Moot have a very large stockpot knocking around that they're not using?

Reason I'm asking is I've been given a load of beeswax (with the promise of more as my friendly beekeeper tends her hives) still in honeycomb which needs to be rendered down. I was thinking doing that at the moot.

I'd need one about that's about 15-20 ltrs capacity. Just to be warned I'm told that once it's been used for rendering you can never get it clean of the wax again so I'm happy to share some of the wax with you for the pot.

Sorry, can't make it to the Moot, but, I would describe cleaning it as 'very difficult' rather than impossible.

I scraped any residue out, boiled several lots of water in it, pouring it away and scrubbing each time. Then used detergent with very hot water - and it still felt 'waxy' inside. I finally resorted to scrubbing it out with white spirit then detergent again - it finally came clean enough to use for food
