In addition to the good suggestions here check commercial restaurant kitchen equipment suppliers. There are plenty of things to contact a blacksmith about but a pot isn't one of them in my mind.... maybe if you want a hand hammered cauldron but.... it is going to be vastly cheaper to find something commercially available ESPECIALLY with stainless steel... I don't know any blacksmiths working with stainless steel. I dunno how I got on about stainless steel... magnetism is an easy way to roughly check grades of stainless... what you want depends on your requirements
