Cooking a 28 gallon jambalaya, according to the calculator I need ~75# of meat. Recommendations on pounds of smoked sausage/Andouille versus temple meat?

Not using chicken?

This is just me but I'd do 35lbs of temple meat and 40lbs of sausage (25lbs smoked/15lbs andouille).

I like a heavy sausage ratio, but it is twice as expensive as temple, so if price is not that big of a concern i would do 35-40 pounds of each, if you are on a budget or doing a fund raiser i would do 50 pork and 25 sausage

I always do 3 meats and cook a 3:1 ratio of meat to rice. I've never used the jambo calculator though. So for a 28lb rice I'd have 28lbs of each meat. Just what I've always done. You'll be closer to 2.5:1 which is fine.

I mean, I doubt you'll get complaints but if that were my options I'd have 20 smoked and 15 andouille. Then 25 temple and 20 chicken. But we're just splitting hairs at this point...

I aint got no calculator but for years I been doing twice as much meat as sausage be it either pork or chicken or both. Then twice as much meat as rice. example 10 lbs meat 5 lbs sausage 5 lbs onions and 5 lbs rice. In a 25 gallon pot ya could easy do that x 4 with room to stir.

That's fine as everybody has their own recipe. In your example you have 15lbs of meat total (pork/chicken & sausage) to 5lbs of rice. That's a 3:1 ratio, which is what I do. That's just how we word it down here. And absolutely, that easily fits in a 25 gallon pot. It would easily fit in a 10 gallon pot for that matter.

Yea just different way to say it for my family sausage is considered seasoning and the recipe X4 is what I cook in my 20 gal but its very tight. Das why I said 25gal pot with 4 times would leave stirring room

My only contribution to this thread is that while eating I hunt out the chunks of temple meat or pork which I prefer over all other meats in my jambalaya.
