Using strange equipment for a large cooking project without any practice is an absolutely horrible idea.

We did 750 lbs last year. 11.5 80 qt pots (one pot is 120 qt) x 2 boils.

We would absolutely NOT do this without doing at least a test run. I'm just trying to find out if anyone has ever done it in that kind of rig and could share their experience. It's just a very intriguing possibility that if we could get it to work well, would open up interesting options to scale up more. This is, aside from being a fun chapter gathering, a charity fundraising event for LSU scholarship purposes so if we can get a big increase in $ generated it would be exciting.

Leaving out the speed you can get a large pot to boil, the hardest part of larger boils is getting the seasoning/salt correct. It’s not a linear conversion from what you do for a single pot.
