Like the title says. I'd like one that would work for 10-20 but 10-15 works as well.

Thanks in advance.

I see 10" models/4qt. I see models with 10 in them/7qt. Or do you mean 10 qt?

A No. 10 is a ten quart pot . It'll feed 20 easily.

Thanks. I searched no. 10 and got all those.

I plan on using the recipe on here. Any tips or suggestions?

Rolling boil means just that to get the rice just right. It took me a couple of tries to figure that out and make the rice "pop."

I haven't tried the one on here. The jambalaya calculator may help you. Which recipe are you looking at.

Should be all you need. You can use it to determine what size pot you need.

I hate to argue w/ you otis, but a #10 isn't 10 qts.
The # stamped in the lid is the diameter of the bottom of the pot in inches.
I found this chart below. Lodge's site lists the #12 as 7 qts so there's a little descrepancy.

Sizes And Capacities Of Lodge Dutch Ovens
Oven Size Oven Capacity Depth Weight Types Of Dishes
8" 2 Quarts 3" 11 lbs. Side dishes, vegetables, desserts, and sauces. Ideal when cooking for 2 or 3 people.
10" 4 Quarts 3 ½" 15 lbs. Side dishes, vegetables, beans, small roasts, desserts, and sauces.
12" 6 Quarts 3 ¾" 20 lbs. Roasts, poultry, fish, stews, potatoes, beans, rolls, breads, and desserts.
12" D 8 Quarts 5" 23 lbs. Standing rib roasts, hams, whole chickens, stews, potatoes, beans, rolls, and breads.
14" 8 Quarts 3 ¾" 26 lbs. Larger roasts, poultry, stews, potatoes, rolls, breads, and desserts.

Going on a propane burner, so good to go.

If any of y'all are coming to the auburn game stop by.
