Request: Post a Pic That Shows How Big You Jambalaya Pot Is.

Know what the capacity is of this one?

You joke, but that legitimately looks like 350 gal may be accurate haha.

ETA - or maybe you don't joke and actually know

I use this 500 gal baby when cooking in Texas.



Sorry, the Debel made me do it. This is Tigerdroppings after all.




For those who are unhappy, along time ago, we made 250 of these for a Campbells soup factory. They were installed in one factory, to support the canning lines.

Here is a guess

It is hard to tell if that is a true hemisphere, because the bottom is in the shade, but, if it is:

Volume of a hemisphere (it has been a long time since I made these calculations, so someone check my math)

V=(4/3 pie X r cubed)/2

I am going to assume a 6 feet diameter hemisphere (= r of 3 ft)

(4/3 X 3.14 X 3)/2
(4/3 X 9.42 X 3)/2
(4/3 X 28.26)/2
(37.68)/2 = 18.84 cubic ft

1 Cu ft = 7.48 gallons

7.48 X 18.84 = 140 gallons

someone check this and my reasoning behind it.

That pic is all over the net.

400 gallons.

Thanks.

Regarding the 400 gallons, that will be wrong. Having seen hundreds and hundreds of Groen over the years, that one is much more likely to be closer to 150 than 400 gallons.

4/3rds is a sphere. A hemisphere is a sphere halved, thus the /2 at the end.

OK, got it.
