Maybe I have a different definition of a stock pot.

I use a Tramontina Professional Stainless 24 quart "stock pot" for gumbos. It's got a very, very thick base and I've never had anything come close to sticking. Damn thing is heavy as can be.

I make my roux in cast iron skillet or enameled cast iron pot (Staub).

Yes when I hear "stockpot" first thing that comes to mind is a thin soup pot.

I never understood the whole "transfer the roux" thing. Why not just cook the whole gumbo in a large thick pot (cast iron, magnalite, enameled cast iron, etc)
