I usually do 3 gallon boils. The water is only a half inch away from the top, but I use Fermcap and never get any boilovers.
I keep thinking about getting that same pot at Wallyworld and doing 4gallon boils, maybe even 5. Just not sure if my stove will get hot enough to boil that much water and how long it would take.
