Any of you guys own one of the High Performance Boiling Pots?

The claim is that it brings the water to boil in 7 minutes. They're kinda pricey in the 120 quart being $466, but I boil enough that I could justify the price if the pot performs as they claim.

That's just the pot and basket? No burner?

I agree, sticker price kinda scary. But, I've boiled 12 or so times already in 2023 so I use it alot. And, likely this pot will last a really long time (at least I'd hope so).

If it truely does bring the water to a boil that fast, I would maybe give it a shot.

Pot and basket for the price. No burner.

It’s worth it but I enjoy knocking back a few beer while waiting on the water to boil

I think they were the ones that came up with the rocket pots and this is their new design(a few years old though).

They work.

$466 buys a lot of propane.

I read once where aluminium pots are superior to stainless steel for boiling seafood because A aluminum is thinner and doesn't retain heat as long and B the water comes to a boil quicker.

I have a pot from 1974 and an old burner from sometime in the 90s. Gets water to boiling in roughly 20-25 minutes. For the life of me I can’t figure out why non commercial people spend so much money on crawfish equipment

It’s up to them how they spend their money, I just don’t get it

I can get a half full 80qt pot boiling in 6.5 minutes with a homemade jet burner. Sounds like a jet engine and wastes a lot of btu’s turning it up that high but it’s quick if you want it to be.

Get a regular pot with a double burner. Fill with the level of water you want. Turn burner on low to medium while getting ingredients ready. Very quiet and water heats up burning very little propane. Once boiling, you can turn it up once you put your seafood in to get it back to a roaring boil,

I have a rocket pot which works using similar tech. They legit work.

They used to sell aluminum versions that were super cheap, in line with other aluminum boiling pots. It’s a no brainer to get one if you can find an aluminum one.

I've got 4, some are for 3-4 sacks, some boil 15 sacks.

They are a game changer for sure. Todd, the owner, is really smart.

My brother-in-law has one similar except the bottom has solid round lugs welded to the bottom of the pot instead of those hollow rectangular tubes. He got it about 15 years ago and it was only around $250 back then.

His pot does come to a boil much faster than a typical smooth bottom boiling pot, but at the price of those pots, I'll take a hard pass.
