I usually figure 3 hours, but I as usually cooking 5 gallons or more.


With Jamabalaya it pretty much takes the same amount of time no matter what sized you cooking.

Not necessarily. Last weekend I cooked 50 lbs of rice then cleaned the pot and cooked 25 lbs. The 50 lb pot took at least an hour longer, but we did have a problem with the gas bottle freezing up. That only added about 10 minutes to the cook time.

So prob around 45 min, not counting prep



Same here.
Unless you're cooking for more than 10, it shouldn't take any longer than 2-2.5 hours start to finish

About 20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed by the rice, then another 10 minutes or so after adding the chicken, sausage, and shrimp. I prefer to use cooked chicken. Don't overcook the rice.


This is called "white" jambalaya. (Made by those who can't cook at all) As opposed to "red" by those that bastardize the process. As opposed to "brown" by those who know what the hell they are doing.
