However, stone pots are usually heavier than wooden barrels, so tasks that require moving stone barrels may be slowed to some extent compared to wooden ones.

Large pots can be made from stone by a [[stone crafter]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]], [[ceramic]] at a [[kiln]], [[glass]] at a [[glass furnace]], [[wood]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]], or [[metal]] at a [[metalsmith's forge]]. Pots made from stone, [[stoneware]], [[glass]], [[wood]], [[porcelain]], [[metal]], or [[glaze]]d [[earthenware]] are water-tight and can be used to store liquids, and even for [[brewing]]. Unglazed earthenware can only be used for storing dry items. Metal pots are made using the [[metalcrafting]] skill, as opposed to metal barrels, which use the [[blacksmithing]] skill. | Large pots can be made from stone by a [[stone crafter]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]], [[ceramic]] at a [[kiln]], [[glass]] at a [[glass furnace]], [[wood]] at a [[craftsdwarf's workshop]], or [[metal]] at a [[metalsmith's forge]].

Pots are stored in the Large Pots/Food Storage section of the Furniture stockpile. Empty pots are listed under Tools when viewing the fortress's [[stocks]] or when moving them to a [[trade depot]]. Pots are hauled using the Haul Item labor. | Pots are stored in the Large Pots/Food Storage section of the Furniture stockpile.

As with other containers, several factors are relevant in choosing the proper material for making large pots. Namely, availability, value, fire/magma safety, vermin resistance, <s>hippie</s> elf kosherness, and most importantly '''weight'''. | As with other containers, several factors are relevant in choosing the proper material for making large pots.

Fire clay 'stoneware' pots weigh the same as a wooden barrel, while earthenware pots are lighter but must be glazed. This makes large stone pots superior for any stockpile that does not require the containers to be moved, such as [[Kitchen|prepared meals]]. Ceramic pots are superior to typical wood in all cases. |

Pots are only 1/4 as heavy<sup>[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=127471.msg4342164#msg4342164]</sup> as barrels <u>made from the same material</u> (e.g. metal, glass). This means metal pots are generally a better storage option than metal barrels, saving the industry precious dwarf-hours by hauling faster due to lighter containers. Additionally, a metal barrel costs '''3''' bars, but a metal pot only '''1''', making metal barrels a vastly less attractive option. | Pots are only 1/4 as heavy<sup>[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=127471.msg4342164#msg4342164]</sup> as barrels <u>made from the same material</u> (e.g. metal, glass).

But in the case of large pots, stone is typically used chiefly due to its abundance, especially for young outposts. Doing so will conserve wood (likely the only other economic choice) for tasks for which stone cannot be used (and metal is not always practical), such as making [[bed]]s, [[bin]]s, [[bucket]]s, [[cage]]s, [[charcoal]], [[crutch]]es and [[splint]]s, [[pipe section]]s, [[stepladder]]s, [[training weapon]]s, [[wheelbarrow]]s, and many other items* of various usefulness and importance. | But in the case of large pots, stone is typically used chiefly due to its abundance, especially for young outposts.
