I got one of those as well. They work great for small sacks. Have to use a big spoon or something to get everything out though, would sometimes use a laundry bag.
Then I got a real pot for Christmas one year.

King Kooker - I purchased an 80 qt pot in 2006 and a 120 qt pot in 2007. Use both of them about 5-6 times a year. Clean it good after each use, dry it good, store in garage. Never had a single issue with either of them - they look just as good as they did the day I bought them.
Have 2 King Kooker jet burners to use with them, bought same times as the pots. Again, never had an issue.
If I was buying one today, I'd get one with the drain spigot.

A 6mm 140 w drain is only 20 bucks more than a 4mm 120 w drain. Seems odd

Great price on the burner I grabbed one, change out hose and add a high flow regulator and these things are awesome...also ordered a rocket pot

Say no to jet burners!
They're loud for nothing. A big flat burner with lots of jets will boil water just as fast, be much quieter, and not ice up small bottles.

Don't do it. He'll get lazy and eat all of the sweets in the house.

Get a pot that fits two sacks plus your fixings comfortably. You'll thank me later.

you want a 100 qt so you can fit an entire sack and fixins with no problem.

Because of this thread I went to craigslists just to see if someone was really giving a good deal. Saw a beer keg pot sounding just like the one you described.

I have 3 kegs in my garage from college I'd be willing to give away. They aren't the big name beer kegs so there is no deposit on them. I need to just go drop them off at a liquor store to give back

An 80 qt pot will fit:
40lbs of crawfish
A box of sausage
3lbs of onions.
10lbs potatoes
A pack of hotdogs
6 oranges
6 lemons
A container of shrooms
18 small corns
A dozen jalapenos.
A lb of garlic
And a colander full of broccoli.
The crawfish will lift the lid when they come to a boil. A paddle on the lid will hold the colander under until they are done soaking.
That is max fill for an 80qt. Half an inch too much water and you will overflow. We do quite a bit more stuff in the boil than most though.
A 20psi or bigger reg is the only real requirement.
