Jambalaya pot and crawfish for newbie

I am new to S LA and have become a huge LSU fan. I really enjoy cooking all the Cajun food. Looking to get a good jambalaya setup. What does everyone recommend? Also would also like some recs for a crawfish rig.

Great first post.
I went to LSU a long time ago, and I am just learning to cook jam, gumbo etc.
Buy a cast iron dutch oven. I bought a 5 quart and a 10 quart.

7 gallon Jambalaya kit is all you need to start
For crawfish, I'd get a large pot that can hold two sacks and a jet burner. Get a 10 gallon propane tank and fill up less.

A five to seven qt. will do it or size for most of your jambalaya needs, but just remember you can't buy a pot stretcher at a store. Both will be great for making a large quantity of roux for mass quantities of gumbos and the like "soups" that can be on the menu in your future life.

Do some practice runs on all of your attempts at Cajun and Creole and invite natives for taste runs o your products. Next year get the family down here for gating season for the week of a game let them get Saturday at the campus, then feed them on Sunday to show of a bit.

Check Hardware stores around town.
I occasionally see 5 gallon Jamb set-ups (pot and burners) for $149
Be aware the difference between the imported and American made pots.
American made have a smoother interior.
Not that the imports are that bad.

I'd suggest getting an enameled dutch oven for the jambalaya and just cooking it in your oven. Like a #10 size should be fine.
I have one cooker with two pots. I use the big one for turkeys and a smaller one for fish, shrimp. I've only done crawfish once. It was a lot of work, they came out a little mushy, and it is easier and costs about the same just to buy them cooked.
