New Crawfish/Shrimp Cooker

Been wanting one of these for quite some time.  Ordered it back while I was still offshore. Well it finally came and I bolted it up. 

Going to give it a good washing and burn out later. Thanks for looking.

    Looks great!  What is the capacity in gallons?

    Does it run off the PTO of your JD?  :smile:

    That is one impressive looking cooker!  Damn.

    I don't think know enough people to cook that portion size, though.  =)

    Looking forward to seeing your cooks.

    It says to use 35 gallons of water for 100 pounds of crawfish plus 50 pounds of extras (potatoes, sausage, etc, etc).

    I say this whole heartedly, I wish that they made the 1025 subcompact 40 years ago. It’s been the most useful thing I have ever bought. Especially now that I’m older. The backhoe attachment beats a shovel by miles my friend. 
    Its small so it has its limitation. But sometimes it’s small size is actually it’s strength. It maneuvers like a dream, has far more power than you would think that it would. For in your yard, it’s simply unbeatable. 
    If something happened to it today (God forbid) I would write a check tomorrow to replace it without batting an eye. It has been a game changer for me.

    Tow that to ButtBlast and it will definitely get used as a urinal.

    I actually bought it with the intent of bring it to Butt Blast. Going to get a small 8x6 trailer to mount it on with a 150 quart cooler. The cooler should be here either today or tomorrow.

    That’s a sweet looking cooker you have there @SGH . Looking forward to seeing how it cooks up the mud bugs the dirty hippy is bringing to Butt Blast, and seeing you again.

    That's a really impressive cooker. I see good times ahead for you and the crowd you will be feeding...or is this what you will make appetizers in? I forget sometimes how much food you can put away.
