This is a terrible idea. 500 gallons is way too big for crawfish.

Edit: Large crawfish trailers can get near that, but they aren’t cylindrical like a brewery barrel. And most will break it up so it’s not just one 500 gallon pot. Instead it’s multiple pots to get to the 500 gallons.

Plus at 500 gallons, are you planning on boiling 1000lbs+ every boil?

It’s not the worst idea. You can bring anything to a boil with proper heat. How many lbs is OP cooking?

I’ve cooked lots of crawfish on a trailer and a 500 gallon pot can probably handle about 300 lbs. at a time. Assuming it’s filled 1/2 way with water.
