Hello Folks,

This is my custom pot. I know there's a lot of them out there and they aint for everybody, but I put a lot of thought into it and hope to, at the very least, get some feedback from a community of crawfish experts!

Here's a link to the craigslist ad: OpFab Crawfish Pot

Thanks for lookin!

Nice looking boiler you have there.
A bit expensive for no more than I would use it.
Do you get burned when trying to open it if the flame is on?
I'd think it would need some sort of deflector plate for the heat on the handle side.

That's a valid point. However, at full blast I can lift the basket with my bare hand(using the oak handles). The aluminum gets really damn hot though no matter what you do just because it conducts heat so well.

Most of the folks that have bought them are restaurant owners or hardcore boilers. However there have also been a few folks who just like to throw big parties occasionally. The one I'm building right now will do 4 sacks. It's for LA Boilers.

Thanks for the feedback!

I was more worried about the "family jewels" than my hands.

Lol. I see. I haven't tested it in the nude... yet. Nor have I heard complaints of singed "family jewels!"
