Peanut Boiling Pot Corrosion?

Hello fellow boiled peanut folks! So we have been making our own boiled peanuts for a few weeks now, but we are currently experiencing an issue with the boiling pot corroding... We are doing large batches for family and friends and so we are using a large seafood boiling pot with a propane burner (see attached picture). Unfortunately, however, tonight while we were cleaning the pot, we noticed quite a bit of the aluminum was starting to show corrosion already, and we've only had the pots for a week. Any tips, tricks, or advice would be greatly appreciated!
