New Boiling Rig

Getting ready to purchase my first boiling rig. Any recs on pot, burner, and regulator? Something more substantial than they Walmart/Home Depot value set. One sack at a time is sufficient.

Depends on budget, the minimum I would go with is:
Pot: Aluminum 100qt (Academy has them)
Burner: Double jet Burner
Regulator: min 20psi
ETA: Double jet burner with 20psi reg and 100qt pot should run you under $200

I have an Academy Special pot that's 12 years old. When it croaks I'm getting either an 80 or 100 quart rocket pot.
I have a 32 jet natural gas burner that I'm pretty happy with, it's quiet, I don't have to go out and buy propane and I never run out. That said, I boiled a ton a crawfish with a single jet and I don't thing you need anything more than that.

Academy 100qt w/ Burner
I got this one last year. So far I'm happy with the purchase. Can fit 1.5 sacks with fixings, but a little bit tight. I might be putting too many extras. I plan on doing only a sack at a time in the future. Boils fairly quick with the stock 10 psi regular.
I bought a gift card that was about 15% from a gift card site before going in to Academy, so it turned out to be a good deal.

I'd go with a stainless pot myself. Otherwise go to a restaurant supply store open to the public(Caire in New Orleans) or there Marque's on the westbank that had a heavy duty aluminum stock pot(restaurant grade) and basket with a paddle and a nice burner for I think it was $259.00

If you'll be boiling more than once or twice a year, spend the money and get a Rocket pot. You can use a single jet burner, boil just as quickly, and save a ton of propane. When I was boiling at the bar I did 7 sacks back-to-back-to-back and didn't even empty a 5 gallon propane tank. Any single jet burner with a high-pressure regulator will do.
