A recessed lid sure does look fancy and nice and it should hold steam better when cooking the rice.

Every pots got some personality to it. I just never cooked with a recessed lid. Every one I use is plant-issued stainless

Where did you get your setup from?


Galvez Hardware in Prairieville has those aluminum burners that tiddles posted.

They seem nice and are very light compared to conventional jambalaya burners.

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

A couple of pics of what they look like.....

Yes, this helps a lot. You can't beat the price. I am leaning towards the 20 and possibly look into a rolling stand in the future. I'm not sure how often I will be using it, so I want to limit the amount of money I am investing.

These are very nice setups. From what I read, he seems to be tough to get in touch with and there is a long wait time. I may try him next week and see for myself. I would like to get one fairly soon.

I left Randy a message online on his Louisiana Sportsman site and got a call back within a week. Go to "Contact Us" LINK


Needed to get a stand made for my old (non China) pot that is not a standard size. Took about a week more than his initial estimate for completion. Great guy and very pleased with the final product!
