Really 100 qt minimum?

I get by with an 80qt just fine.
Double jet burners you can find on Amazon for less than $50.

kids nowadays think you need a 100-120 quart pot to boil anything crawfish. i have boiled a ton of sacks in a 60 quart pot easily.

The size if the ice chest you house them in for the dust and steam is far more important.

Sure, you can boil a whole sack in a 60 qt pot, but some people like to cook all of their fixings in the same pot as the crawfish. If you do that, and you like a lot of fixings (not just corn and potatoes) then I'd recommend 100 qt at least. I have an 80, and wish I had a little bit more room as I can't do a full sack and all the veggies that I like.

add to this in the same 60qt pot and burner since 1987, and I was using boiling nets for all those years. Just recently got an aluminum strainer for my pot.
