My wife and I do a boil every year. We have two pots 30qt ea that I use (hand me downs) I'm tied of doing small batches all day. I want to move up to either a larger pot. I'm thinking at least 80qt or a cooker with the hinged basket and lid that acts as a funnel to pour to the cooler.

I want to get people's thoughts on pots vs. cookers. If anyone has used a cooker or seen one used.

Thanks

Rocket Pot in 3, 2, 1....

I've just used an 80 I got from Sams or Costco for years now. Works fine, bit on the thin side, but it cooks fine.

I have a 120qt pot. Its kind of thin but it works fine.

I think for my next one I will downsize to a 100qt Rocket pot.

I take it this is a cooker?



I saw that one for sale at Buc-ee's for $700. What's the advantage of using one of those as opposed to the typical burner/pot/basket setup? I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone using the cooker except at maybe like a business / restaurant?

But, if you're in the market, I have only good things to say about my 100q Bayou Classic LINK
