Recommend a good crawfish rig

I want to get a crawfish rig soon.. I need a burner and pot. I’m thinking 100 qt but have no idea what brands I should consider. Are the sets at academy worth getting?

My little blue big has lasted forever it seems. Try a hardware store that has a bucket attached that tips over into a slide.

Lowe’s sells bayou classic. I thought they were a little thicker/nicer than what academy has. Go with 100 qt.
Regardless of what you buy, boil water before boiling crawfish. Little flakes of shite will come off the pot and your burner will burn the paint off itself.

100 quart
Beside your gas line (between tank and pot) Has a high pressure regulator

Minimum 20psi. Get the adjustable that goes to 30psi.
Jet burner for crawfish. Not a showerhead burner.
Agree on the 100qt Bayou Classic pot.
PawPaw didn't get fancy. Rocket Pots and double-jet burners are fine, but you don't need all that. Save your money and enjoy a beer or 4 while you wait for it to boil.

I've got an 80 qt. pot I've had for probably close to 30 years and it's still going strong. But, a 100 qt. pot would offer more room. My 80, when boiling a 40 lb. sack of crawfish is filled to the brim and a little more wiggle room would be nice.
Like already mentioned, a high volume hose with regulator, a 5 gallon propane tank and a sturdy burner is a good start. Also add in a nice paddle, either wood or metal to mix things up and a good pot hook to help pour the hot crawfish out on the table.

I have a 100qt rocket pot and enjoy it. It really wasn’t that expensive. When cooking multiple sacks, it comes in handy to quickly have the 2nd sack not far after the first.
And also, if I’m cooking one sack for family, I don’t have to start preparing way ahead of time. Subconsciously we do that because we know we will wait on water for a long time. Very quick from cold water to boiling.

Where you get it from?

Honestly, I came here expecting to see what recommendations folks had for the wire baskets used to catch crawfish.
Needless to say, I am disappointed.
Such a dummy I am!

I got my pot from Sam's Club. It's big. I think it's a 160 quart. Don't remember the brand. I wouldn't get smaller than 100.
I have this burner. I love it. Bayou Classic SS Double Jet.
and this 60 PSI regulator

The 60 psi regulator is a must IMO. Especially if you get a double jet burner.

I found that same red regularor from Amazon, says thy often sell it with a gauge. I have never used a gauge with any of my propane cookers, is a gauge necessary?

If you go with a double jet with a high pressure regulator, consider moving up to at least a 30# propane tank.

Yep. It'll freeze below 1/3 full.
