re: High Performance Boiling Pots

I always laugh when I see these and similar pots.
OweO level post coming:
I came down for my first crawfish bowl in the early 90's with one of my law school friends. We stayed at his grandparents house and they had a big bowl. We did it several times over the years we were close.
The first time I noticed how long it took to bring the water to a boil. Being an avid backpacker and mountaineer I had used heat exchangers on my pots regularly. The one I still have is an MSR and they still make them:
They go around any camping pot and MSR also made a heat reflector and windscreen which also increased efficiency. Back then I couldn't just pull a picture up on the internet and I can't draw for shite so my attempts to explain it were met with deserved derision. I had gotten close to his GF so after about the third trip I decided to have one made for him. I got the guy that did my metal fab for my cars to make a pot with a full-length heat exchanger from square Al tubing along with a heat reflector and windscreen. This thing heated water with the speed of an induction stove. I gave it to his GF who loved up but when I told the folks at the boil it would cost about $250 to have them made their interest died.
When I saw my first commercial pot with a heat exchanger I just had to shake my head.
