Does anyone know where to purchase commercial size crawfish pots that can cook several hundred pounds at once? We are having a large charity boil out of state and are bringing a caterer in to cook em, but it would be great if we could find a pot that cooks several hundred pounds at once to be able to have someone local cook them.

Thanks!

I had one made about 10 years ago that I could boil about 250 lbs, but I don't know anyone who sells pre-made ones. Scardinos on Coursey may have some big ones, but I doubt if you can do over 100 pounds in the biggest one they have.

I went to a welding shop and told them what I needed and had them make it out of aluminum. I think any welding shop could do it.

I had them make a pot that was 24" wide X 48" long and I believe it was about 36" deep. I made my stand/burner using 2 elements out of 2 old very large boiler/hot water heaters. It has worked very well for years. Instead of a basket, I use a dip net to get everything out.

I loaned the rig to a friend a few years ago because I stopped boiling when I moved to Pineville. My friend is now in Iraq and all of his things (including my boiling rig) are in storage. Hopefully, everything ends well.
