Jambalaya for 30-40

I know I'm going to be directed to the Jambalaya Calc. But I'm out of touch of a computer to pull up the excel form and can't do it from my phone.
I'm cooking a jambalaya tomorrow evening for a travel ball fundraiser poker tournament for 30-40 people and needed a quick go to ingredient list.
Also I've never cooked for a group that large. So a basic step by step (if any different than a jambalaya for 10). Basic guidance. Thanks fellas.

5 pounds of long grain rice
10-12 pounds meat total (split between pork or chicken and sausage, I recommend Boston butt or temple)
3 pounds onions
1 8 oz can of Leblancs cajun seasoning
1 gallon plus 1/2 pint of water
same technique, brown meat, then add onions and brown, add water and seasoning, bring to a boil and boil for 5-6 minutes stirring carefully and occasionally, turn down heat and cover for 10 minutes, run paddle around edge to bleed the water to the bottom, cover and cook another 25 minutes, turn off heat uncover and flip

If fundraiser starts at 6:30 what time should I start cooking
Posted on 1/25/17 at 3:02 pm to ChrisN
I like at least 3 hours, can do it quicker but 3-3.5 hours keeps you from being rushed
Posted on 1/25/17 at 3:02 pm to Tigerpaw123
Give yourself 2 hours. You'll probably finish early but it's not going to get cold.

It was listed in recipe, in this case 1 gallon plus 1/2 pint

You think I could fit that same rundown in a 3 gallon pot? (did you have THAT much room to spare?)
Posted on 1/25/17 at 10:08 pm to unclebuck504
I think you might be pushing the lid with a 3 gallon pot. My rule of thumb is the size of the pot (in galllons) times 1.5 equals the max amount of rice (in pounds) that can fit in that pot.

Wish me luck. In cooking it in a 3 gal pot

Good luck. Rule of thumb I use is 8-10 people per gallon of jamb. I don't think you will have enough for 40 in a 3 gallon pot. Hope you have some sides. Good luck.

Might get a little messy. Good luck.
