Can I squeeze 6 lbs of pork, 6 lbs of thighs, 6 lbs of sausage. 1 gallon of onions, 1 quart of bells, 1 bunch of celery and 6 lbs of penne noodles in this pot. Got a party so I was asked to cook. All I got is a 5 gallon pot. We got 10 gallons of gumbo in the bigger pot.

Based on math and common sense, no way.

Maybe 5.5 lbs if butt with the bone. Easy 6.2 lbs of thighs. Sausage is easy 6. I got a gallon of bells and onions mixed amd one bunch of celery so I may be close

Can’t win if you don’t play. Good on you.

Just so you know, the calculator says you'll overflow:
There's a little play in the calculation and it will be close.
What kind of pasta are you using? That could make a small difference.

Lol then why even start the thread?

100% yes.
In my 5 gallon, I’ll cook:
10-15 lbs meat
7 lbs sausage
7 lbs rice
5 lbs onion
You have to stir carefully as to not spill, but I’ve never had any issues with it fitting.

Easily, I’d start with 4lbs of pasta and add in if needed.

5 lbs of cooked meat is going to be the difference. That's almost a half gallon of cooked volume.

So, how'd your jambalaya work out?

How do you not know already?

Look over the F&D board front page very carefully.
You've had the words "Jambalaya Calculator" in front of your face every time you visited the F&D board.
