Krazy Kajun cast iron

I would buy one. At some level, cast iron is cast iron. If they are thick enough, relatively smooth on the inside and the lid fits properly, the pot will season and cook.

They are a pretty good price, especially considering what an old (always called antique, if they are trying to sell it to you) pot costs.

To my knowledge, I have never seen a true pot at a flea market or pawn shop. If they are any size (15-40 gallons) They are pretty hard to find, especially with a lid.

I would try to buy the biggest one I could afford and have room to store.

What would I like? A tandem axle 20 foot trailer with a custom whole hog BBQ pit, big separate open grill surface, smoker wood storage bin, 40 gallon cast iron pot and a removable Canvas "MD Competition Cooking Team" cover to keep the rain off my head during inclement weather prep. It would have a nice counter with a burner, sink and refrigeration unit. Maybe 25 foot trailer with all that. We'd also need a nice covered seating area with little chilled cup holder fixtures for amber fluids can retention because they get hot too quickly in your hand.

I have a friend who would happily go with me wherever we chose to compete and would happily agree to argue with me the entire time we were cooking.

"That fire is too hot MD. you need to close the damper 1/16 inch to get it right. And you need another piece of cherry wood in the firebox. Would you get me another cold one while you're up?"
