IMO......In a 100 qt. pot you can cook up to a sack [35 lbs] of crawfish. If you put much more than that.....it will take longer to get the pot back up and boiling after you put the crawfish in and this starts to effect the quality and taste.

I use to use a 100 qt pot that was shapped about like the old tin garbage cans....it was fairly tall and not that big in diameter. Cooking a whole sack in that pot took way too long to get boiling again.

The shorter and larger diameter pots are better for boiling crawfish.
