Looking for a propane setup for seafood boil cooking

You can get a decent burner, pot, and basket for a little over $100 on Amazon. Then go on the Internet and search how to boil crawfish. Select a cook from south Louisiana. Be sure to rinse the crawfish well a couple times before cooking. Figure 3-4 pounds per person. Forget Old Bay use Zatarans seasoning, lemons, onions, small red potatoes, salt.

Just did a shrimp boil this afternoon for the second time in a week down here in Florida. I have a fish cooker I picked up off Craigslist for $25 and an boil pot from a thrift shop that was either new or like new for $10. It has a lift out strainer which is really nice. I use Zatarans or Louisiana seasonings shrimp and crab boil. The fish cooker works really well too with a 12" cast iron skillet for blackened fish. Both for the fish and shrimp it is soooo nice to keep all that smell outside. PS, I also use this pot/ strainer setup for making Homemade Tamales. It works so good for this I bought a second because I make pretty big batches of Tamales. MMMM

Bayou Classic is a good brand commonly sold at Walart, Amazon, Home Depot etc.

Generally speaking, you want to keep the weight down low so get a burner with short welded legs, not somehthing tall and spindly. Remember the top of the pot is going to be fairly high up too. Although a pan or griddle can be used on these burners it's difficult to turn the burner low enough and keep it lit. I use a Nordic Ware flame-tamer burner plate (Amazon) for that

Although you can set the burner on a table it gets mighty hot under the burner; I use a pizza pan or sheet pan as a heat deflector so I don't melt my plastic table.

I use an Imusa Caldera (Amazon) on the burner for ordinary fish or chicken frying.

I use the turkey fryer pot to boil crab legs. I also have the 1/2 size pot with a basket to deep fry fish. Either one will work well depending on how big of a pot you need. That propane burner will bring it up to speed in a hurry.

Millions of pounds of crawfish have been cooked in a number 3 washtub. For smaller batches use a foot tub. Just be sure to run it thru one cycle without the food to clear any chemicals or rust proofing used on the tub. Then pick up a short burner.

Walmart sells a steamer pot that has an indent to keep a perforated tray a few inches from the bottom for steaming. I have a big pot with a lift out basket but a big spider works well too.

I like a shorter burner with removable legs.

I built my own burner. I made my legs about 10" high.
I have various skillets, D.Os. and some large pots I use on mine.

I made my burner stand short enough to use on campground wooden picnic tables. I drop it down to a bench if I'm using a large pot for a Low Country Boil.
BTW: I'm partial to using Zatarans for my boils.

Bass Pro and cabelas's routinely have the turkey burner and pot on sale for around $49. I use mine for everything from fish fries to large wok for stir fry veggies.

Just looked at the Cabela's Bargain Cave and they have one for $39.99.

Super Dave I saw that offer but you won't boil very many crawfish in a pot 5 inches deep. By the time you buy a real pot it won't be $40 any more.
