Which Jambalaya pot burner/stand design is better?

Neither one because you cant adapt it to any other pot.

I don’t want to adapt it to any other pot.

My larger pots have cooking ring stands and I slide one of my other natural gas or propane burners underneath the stand

Don't like either because you are limited to only one pot size for that particular burner. I'd never waste my money on one that wasn't multi functional.

Personally, I'd rather the design with the opening around the top. If for no other reason than it allows heat to escape relatively uniformly around the pot. I doubt that matters much though. Jambalaya is cooked at a pretty low temp when it really matters (after rice is added and top put on).

And for blazing heat really hot for second fry of some pork cracklins, which would be better?

Again I am fine with this stand being limited to only this one specific pot. I have another rig up that I use for my larger pots.

I’d go by this advice. Really, I don’t think either setup will cook differently.

I doubt you'd notice a difference but the one on the right would heat more evenly.

L- R&R R-KRAZY CAJUN. I have the right. love the 3 wheels always stable no matter what ground im on

I like and have the R&R design personally. Having an opening all the way around allows you know where to stand away from excess Heat. Also if the wind is blowing you're going to get wind from any Direction with the second version
