Like the title says. I'd like one that would work for 10-20 but 10-15 works as well.
Thanks in advance.

I see 10" models/4qt. I see models with 10 in them/7qt. Or do you mean 10 qt?

I foresee you really fricking this up.

You gonna need a 10 qt pot at least for 20 people.

A No. 10 is a ten quart pot . It'll feed 20 easily.

Thanks. I searched no. 10 and got all those.
I plan on using the recipe on here. Any tips or suggestions?

Rolling boil means just that to get the rice just right. It took me a couple of tries to figure that out and make the rice "pop."

I haven't tried the one on here. The jambalaya calculator may help you. Which recipe are you looking at.

Should be all you need. You can use it to determine what size pot you need.

I hate to argue w/ you otis, but a #10 isn't 10 qts.
The # stamped in the lid is the diameter of the bottom of the pot in inches.
I found this chart below. Lodge's site lists the #12 as 7 qts so there's a little descrepancy.

Going on a propane burner, so good to go.
