Can anyone tell me if any of the buckets in the HBS here are the same as the one below ? ;D

They look the same as the ones I have from from THBC. I bought a few of these for storing grain.

@Greg - yep, that's the one. Pretty sturdy. I would say it would work as a boiler. My old boiler is a Youngs' fermentation bucket with element (although sold as a Youngs' Boiler), and the base when hot was fairly pliable in my opinion - but never proved a problem though. My view would be that the bucket you linked to has a thicker more sturdy base.
I have one of those 2, I'd say its quite a bit sturdier than the more semi-opaque sort that they sell on THBC.
