So....gimme the lowdown.

What size do you guys have and how much does it fit?

I just got an 80 QT as my first one. I'm assuming that will fit at least a sack with room for corn, potatoes, sausage etc.

It'll do a large sack with all the extras, easily.

I have a 60 that will barely do a small sack plus trimmings. It's actually too close for comfort. The 80 is perfect for a sack at a time.

Ratio guy here. Multiply the quarts of the pot size by .6 and that will tell you how many pounds with fixings you can cook. A 100 quart would be ideal.

Get a 120 qt pot and be done with it. You can boil 2 sacks at a time and work less/eat more.

I say this every time this is brought up in a thread. Buy the biggest you can afford when you go to buy one. You can boil smaller amounts in it when it comes to it, but you can't buy a pot extender when you have need for a bigger one for production purposes.
