they had that one at sam's or at least one just like it for 700 bucks! I Wanted it, but it boils 2 sacks at a time. I don't have many people in my household. Just me and the wife.

Anyone have any real experience with these pots? Are they all they seem to be? In theory it seems it would work...

You ain't right.

That one belongs to the wife's uncle. It will boil 2 sacks at a time. He had 3 built when he was selling boiled crawfish.
Super easy to use and very ergonomic.
Lid flips open to make a runway to dump straight into the ice chest. Removable handle inserts into the bottom of the basket to drain. Very efficient on fuel too. I like it a lot.

I know this thread is a few months old but Crawfish season is coming soon and I'm in the market for a pot.

My question is Aluminum or Stainless? I don't care about price or weight. When boiling crawfish is it better to have a pot that heats faster or one that retains heat longer?

IMO if your looking at a standard boiling pot both of those points are negligible. A stainless pot will resist being bent more than an aluminum pot will and it will look nicer.

An 80qt will hold a full sack and all the fixins.
I have a homemade dual burner with a high pressure regulator, but Bayou Classic has a dual jet burner (SP40) that would be high on my list if I was looking to buy one.
