Turkey Fryer for Boiling Crawfish?

Just the wife and I and 2 kids in North Dallas. Restaurants are charging $9.99lb for bland arse boiled crawfish.
I can get 15lbs live around here. I figured I'd just boil for the 4 of us. Can I just use a 35-40qt turkey fryer set up? It's much cheaper(like $80 for everything, burner included). I've looked at 80qt pots and burners and they look to run around $200+ for stainless steel pot and not aluminum.
I don't see Sams or Costco selling setups up here. My only local options are Academy, Lowe's Home Depot.

Come to the Cajun Market here in Colleyville. Just like home. Guy who owns it, is from Abbeville. He also sells live.

Sure. It's just an aluminum pot, a high pressure burner and water. Figure out your seasoning ratio for the smaller pot and let it rock bro.

May just get a full size setup now. Posted on the OT for more responses, any particular brand pot, burner recommended? I'm debating Bayou Classic 82qt stainless vs 80qt Outdoor Gourmet aluminum. About $100 price difference

You buy sacks there too. I'll also buy from Cajun crawfish company.

Been boiling for 35 years . Have a 60 qt heavy duty pot I got while working at Piccadilly . Its a beast paired with a bayou classic banjo burner , very quite . Finally rusted out the burner and bought a bayou classic double rocket . Loud, but gets to a boil in a hurry .

My rule of thumb is 2.25 qt for every lb of crawfish, if you add fixins, and 2 qt for every lb of crawfish if you just do crawfish.
So 15 lbs should be fine for a 35-40 qt pot.
You have to look at the burner. Many of those turkey fryers come with low output burners.
