Boil Crawfish using a Turkey Fryer Setup?
Posted on 2/27/18 at 10:01 pm

I have the following...
Bayou Classic High Heat Stainless Steel Turkey Fryer Kit
LINK
Is it possible to boil crawfish using the above Bayou Classic kit?
If yes, is there anything I should know? (ex: longer boil time need?)
I would like to boil a 30# sack for my wife and another couple from out of town. I simply want to make sure I can boil with out any problems or see if there is more to this then what I am thinking. Within the link they say...
Their words not mine. The pot is obviously small. Besides the pot, I have some suspicions that there just might be something i'm missing in all this.
Thank you in advance for all your knowledge and wisdom. It is truly appreciated.

It’s the perfect size to fry a perfect turkey or boil the perfect pot of crawfish.

Those pots are pretty small, you may have to do a few batches.

You arent going to boil 30lbs in a 32 quart pot

It's a good setup if you're cooking for less than 10 people. You can boil a batch and steam, and then boil and soak a second batch...flame away!

I can fit about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 dozen crabs in mine. You wont do the whole 30lbs in one boil, you will have to do multiple boils. At least 2.

Just do 2 boils. Less water so my spice would be thrown way off. Plus it not being a jet burner, the water will take longer to boil. Otherwise, good luck. If just for 4 people it won’t be an issue once you figure out your spice ratio. I wouldn’t change the time as boiling water is boiling water.

You can boil crawfish in a gumbo pot same technique as a big pot. Common sence tells ya ya cant boil as much at once. We have one of those rigs and they are great for boiling seafod for me ad da ole Lady. When going big we drag put our big ole 1 sack at a time pot. But for those lil batches that rig works grezt.

Thank you everyone for your replies.
I figured a 30# sack wouldn't fit in a 32 quart pot. I'm planning on doing three boils with vegetables. It may take four but that's okay.
Spice ratio and boil times are key points.
I'll have to adjust the spice ratio on the fly.
I'm hoping boil times will remain the same. That seems to be the consensus.
