Jambalya Pot Help
Posted on 9/21/17 at 10:14 am

What do I need to look for in a jambalaya pot setup? Is there a recommended minimum BTU for the burner? I am looking to get a 10gal pot. I've read a few threads that recommended Randy at R&R, but it sounds like he does it on the side and the wait can be long. I found this 10 gal setup on craigslist and it looks like a good idea, but I wasn't sure if there were any red flags that I might be missing.

here's a hint. When buying a rig look at the stand. It should have spacers like 1/4 inch square stock between the ring and the pot. I have seen pots stuck to the rings from cooking a full pot the spacers stop this.

Those stands are pretty dinky looking, and the recessed lid is costing you an inch or two of space. I pretty regularly cook jambalaya busting out the top of the pot.
A 10" burner will kick a 20 gallon pot in the arse. Those things move some serious heat.

I might need one too, I usually borrow one once per year for a jambalaya thing for work but the guy I borrow it from let someone else use it.

Look for one with the burners enclosed. Much easier to control your fire when cooking the rice

I have one similar to the pic you posted. It's a good little setup till the wind is blowing or you need to move the pot and it's full of food. The next setup I buy will have the burner enclosed and will be on wheels.

I recommend them.
The food board actually had a thread with a list of all the stores in the area that sell jambalaya pots. Might be helpful

For the most part all of the newer pots are about the same.
The stand in the OP looks a little flimsy to me, but would probably be fine, I'd try to rock it before getting it, the pot with 30lbs of meat and onions, and a few gallons of water is gonna be top heavy when you start burning the rice in.
A 10" banjo burner is more than enough for either pot.
I don't mind a recessed aluminum lid, I haven't found you lose too much heat out of the lid during the time when you're using it, and I'll take the lid not sliding off onto the ground at the expense of a few plates. Plus they are light, easy to clean, and no worry about it warping like wood.
For the wind guard, you can pick one of these up and it folds flat.jpg)

I actually bought a 20 gallon set up from this guy. Here is what I can tell you.
1) As another person stated, it is made in China. With that said, I have no complaints with the pot. I did go over the inside of the pot with a steel wheel to smooth it up some.
2) The stand itself is not as sturdy as I would like but it works.
3) You will need a high pressure regulator for the burner. I tried a regular hose and regulator and it didn't work. Threw the hose and regulator from my jet burner on there and it worked fine. (maybe the regular regulator that I bought was a dud??)
4) It comes with a lid, hooks and cleats for the stand. The only thing I had to buy was the hose and regulator.
Overall I please with the purchase, for 300 bucks I am satisfied. My recommendation to you though would be to go ahead and get the 20 gallon. Not much of a difference in price. Keep in mind that you can always cook less in a bigger pot but not more in a smaller one.
Hope this helps.

If you want a great rig with wind block and easy to move around(I've cooked outdoors and rolled mine inside of a cafeteria and meeting rooms with no problem)........

If you can, get the extended height rig. Much easier to cook and serve from!
