re: Large Banjo Burners for Crawfish Boil?

Posted by NOLAGT on 3/24/25 at 11:28 am
I would personally keep the banjo burners for cooking stuff like your jambalaya and use a jet style for boiling but a banjo would work.

I see this said in almost every crawfish boil rig post. Does everyone leave as soon as the eat crawfish or something? I use a 120qt high performance triple jet rig that is loud but will boil the water in 6 min and re-boil in a minuet or less once I drop the crawfish. We still visit and drink cold ones before during and after the cooking is done I just don't have to add 30min to a hour of cook time because the pot is slower to heat.

Youngsville rentals here and im getting 1200 for some 2/2s. I do well enough that I don't have to raise the rent on current tenants. When its empty I will adjust the rent if need be. I have some long term renters that are getting a great rate. While I am missing out on some money I am also not having to chase them for rent, cleaning between tenants, and relisting all the time. If I needed to adjust to make my numbers works I would but I/they are lucky I don't have to at this time.

cost associated with turnover and possible vacant months


Big factor and why I don't mess with it while I have someone in a unit. You raise rent 100/month to gain a extra 1200/year on a 1200/month unit and your tenants decide to move out. You go one month of vacancy after that and you blew your extra cash flow.

I try to make mine with the rendered fat of the protein im putting in the dish. I started making my C&S gumbo using schmaltz (chicken fat) and its been a big hit. Its harder to get enough chicken fat than the others but you can buy a tub of it off amazon.

More or less this, also bought another company we were friends with for 25 years.
Also take a look at lonestargrillz.com/. What I like about them is they claim their auger design allows for actual wood chips they sell to be run in conjunction with the pellets offering a closer to offset smoker experience. I do not have one but if I were buying one it would probably be from them at this point. Yoder are nice too.
Very cool, I will look into that one some more.

Epson makes an autofeed one


I checked out one they have, im assuming its the same one you got for around $500 FF-680W? That sure looks like a fast option if so. It really scans that fast and has good quality? I would spend that much sending it off to someone to do it im sure.
Yea its just the actual pictures, no negatives. There is also a wide array of sizes to add to the complexity. I thought about scanning my self but it would take forever I think :lol:

Anyone digitizing a ton of old pictures?

Posted by NOLAGT on 3/10/25 at 11:22 am
I have thousands of old pictures from my MIL who just passed that we would like to digitize. Anyone used a place to do that before? Any place local to the lafayette/br/nola area?
I know it’s pricy but I have a 120qt High Performance rig that gets water boiling in about 5-7 min and it will come back to a boil in a about a minute once you drop the crawfish in. All aluminum it will be the last setup I’ll ever need to buy. It also still works remarkably well in the wind with those tubes welded to the bottom of the pot. The drain comes in real handy as well.




I also use a 40qt one with a banjo to fry turkeys, make gumbo, and so on since you can’t really cook with a jet burner. I can swap out a jet burner if I want with just 3 bolts holding it on.

What narratives have been formed? According to above it will all be released today. Some cant read or wait any longer. Maybe it all turns out to be more BS or maybe not :dunno:

A link


That's my point. A single link to A single site with all the info will crash and be DDOS'ed non stop. I think there will be multiple instances of this release at a coordinated time, and shocker I know, they gave it to some people who they can trust not to leak it to the MSM before that. I want to see the whole unredacted list like everyone else so im hopeful that is what eventually comes of all this. Time will tell...

I think SFP just means release the list on the DOJ website for everyone.

But I think Trump is releasing the “list” through these guys to frick with the media.


It could be a way to get the info out in a manner that prevents the MSM from trying to block and control the narrative. IMO these influencers are going to pick apparat the info and post it out there in a manner that is easy to understand to millions of followers who will then share it to millions of others before the MSM even knows what is in those binders and it will spread like wildfire through the weekend. If you just post it on the white house website it wont get near the attention it deserves. Look at the attention its getting right now. Or it could all be BS :popcorn:

True I didn't get mine "for hunting" but I like to rotate what I take hunting so its not just sitting un-used because I hope to never need to use it on a bad guy.
