My dad recently bought one of these boilers, timed it last weekend while boiling crabs and it was a hard boil in 12 minutes.

Just a fun calculation fyi:
100 qt pot = 25 gallons
1/2 full = 12.5 gallons
12.5 gallons from ~70 degrees to 212 degrees = 13,695 btus
. . . in 30 minutes = ~30,000 btu/hr
What is your jet burner's btu rating?

That's assuming just water. It'll take a bit more if he's already added seasoning. So still your 30 minute assumption is plenty of margin.

Brammer makes a good pot!

I like the methodology, but this is assuming 100% efffeciency in the transfer of burner energy into the pot...which is not nearly correct....

It does not actually assume that. In fact, by asking the rating of the burner, I was attempting to get the number that would provide a means of getting an efficiency calculation (really just and estimate not knowing how much heat is lost from the water and the pot).
