Crawfish pot size and how much it fits

So....gimme the lowdown.
What size do you guys have and how much does it fit?
I just got an 80 QT as my first one. I'm assuming that will fit at least a sack with room for corn, potatoes, sausage etc.

It'll do a large sack with all the extras, easily.

I have a 60 that will barely do a small sack plus trimmings. It's actually too close for comfort. The 80 is perfect for a sack at a time.

I got 100 qt, no worries

Ratio guy here. Multiply the quarts of the pot size by .6 and that will tell you how many pounds with fixings you can cook. A 100 quart would be ideal.

So...with that tactic id be looking at about 48lbs. That sounds about perfect for a sack with the extras to me.

I did a 34# sack on Sunday with an 80 qt. pot. Had potatoes, corn, sausage, lemons, onions, garlic and it fir fine.

Thanks guys, I think I'll be sticking with the 80 QT

I rather a larger pot....... they seem to come back to a boil quicker.
But an 80qt will boil a sack just fine.

Get a 120 qt pot and be done with it. You can boil 2 sacks at a time and work less/eat more.

I'm not completely opposed to that, but I've also never boiled myself before. I don't plan on having huge get togethers in that regard, possibly just having a few people over to taste test. Not saying I won't ever need to boil two sacks and I'll surely be able to upgrade later, I just feel like that much would be excessive to start with.

I say this every time this is brought up in a thread. Buy the biggest you can afford when you go to buy one. You can boil smaller amounts in it when it comes to it, but you can't buy a pot extender when you have need for a bigger one for production purposes.

How is it excessive? Seems logical to me. I'm usually just boiling one sack but I can use more water and keep the temp higher with my big pot. And when I want to throw in two I have room. I see no advantage or reason to go small.
