wow i love it! It's great for campfire stews, soups chili ect. And feeds an army

AS SHOWN IN ALL THE PICTURES, THERE SHOULD BE A GATOR ON THE LID ALONG WITH THE WORDS BAYOU CLASSIC. THE LID I GOT DIDN'T HAVE THE GATOR ON IT. CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS PROMISED THE RIGHT LID WOULD SHIP OUT RIGHT AWAY. GOT A WHOLE POT AND LID AND STILL NO GATOR. KEPT ONE POT AND LID AND HAD TO MAIL THE OTHER ONE BACK. THE POT IS JUST WHAT I HAD IN MIND AND I LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. BUT IF YOU ORDER ONE EXPECTING IT TO LOOK LIKE THE PICTURE, DON'T COUNT ON IT.

This pot is more kettle like and not as shallow. My first one showed up cracked. The steel is VERY porous and brittle compared to other cast iron I've had.

I usually have chilli with my tailgate and we tailgate A LOT! Ask the fans at Stillwater, Mizzou, Minnesota State and Southeast MO. This pot is a absolutely perfect for chilli or gumbo in the parking lot. I have ordered the propane burner matching this pot and can't wait for it to arrive. The heat definitely disperses more evenly with the thicker chilli and doesn't stick and burn. I cured the pot three times with vegetable shortening before using. Twice in the oven and once on my smoker. Worth the trouble. It's like a non-stick pot now. Did I mention it's HUGE! Buy this before your next party or tailgate. You won't regret it!!

What a great kettle! I was looking for something between a dutch oven and a cast iron kettle. This Jambalaya Pot is rugged enough to use outdoors over an open fire; but, stylish enough to use in the oven or on stove top.

Now i have to decide which daughter will inherit this kettle.

A great find and a terrific deal,

Never burn your jambalaya rice again. You will need a good hot burner. I bought the Big Kahuna here on Amazon. You can go wrong with this one. Buy it!
