If he can only afford a cheap pot for now, he can minimize scorching by cutting the fire off when he adds his extract, stirring until its all dissolved, and then firing up the burner again. Most scorching I've run into is a result of liquid extract falling to the bottom of the pot and getting burned.
I've read that also. Will a 20 qt aluminum boiling pot work for my stockpot? Or is it too thin?

As long as you are stirring it the thickness doesnt really matter. Many use a canning pot for extract since its cheap. 20qt is more than big enough for extract. for AG you would want no less than 36qt.

I agree about turning fire off when adding anything really. Liquid extract will sink and scorch. Dry has a slightly less chance, but still may. Hops will foam up like a mf'er and it is much easier to control with the fire off.
Aluminum will work. Some people CLAIM it will promote off tastes but nobody seems to be able to prove it. Just remember to cut the fire.
