I have been searching the internet for a new crawfish cooker.
I am ready to "do it right" this time around. What is the best cooker on the market?
Do I go with a jet type burner or the or the large banjo type burner?
What PSI regulator?
I have been looking at the Bayou classic burners but have stumbled on a few others.
I don't want to make a mistake this time and buy a cooker that just barely gets the job done. I need a cooker that will fire a 162 quart pot if needed. And do it fast!
What do some of you guys use for a home crawfish cooker?
And one pond question. How many can i keep with no filtration (just a fountain for aeration) i have canadian pondweed, brazillian pondweed, willow moss, duck weed, frogbit, White water lily, parrots feather, yellow flag iris in the pond
surely all these plants will act as a natural filter
also if i hook up a filter
1 how many fish with a filter
2 how many hours a day must i run the filter
I need useful advice
Thanks.

I prefer a 10" banjo burner with a high pressure regulator. The recovery time is quick and they are super quiet to operate.

I have a neighbor down the street that does awesome crawfish with this one but it's a little pricey.

Re: Looking for the best propane burner for crawfish
Without a doubt, this is the best I ever used. I had a 120qt stainless pot and basket on top of it. It would get 25 gallons of water boiling in about 10 minutes. Not cheap, but I used that setup for over 10 years. Finally just got tired of it and sold it for half of what it was worth.
