Cast Iron Pots (Where)

[TJ_11]

I’m looking to add a larger cast iron pot to the mix for cooking. (20 qt or 5 gallon size) Lately I have been cooking brisket chili for 80-100+ folks and I’ve been using all 3 of my small pots to cook. The problem is, I want a flat bottom pot, not a round or legged one because it goes in the smoker to cook. The current 16 quart round bottom one I have is a tight squeeze but works.

I’ll be in Columbia this weekend. What are some spots I couldn’t check out for these bigger pots. I know the brain trust has some hidden local places that might sell them.

Gracias.

Looks like Cajun Classic Cookware and Bayou Classic both make a 20 quart flat bottom pot.

This is what I was going to suggest. This is about all they use in the bayou.

I agree with the Bayou classic 20 qt. I've been using a Bayou Classic 20 qt cast iron flat bottom for probably 15+ years and love it. Sometimes I use a gas burner but most of the time use a stand I made to accommodate a 15 gallon cast iron round bottom pot and an insert that fits the Bayou Classic and fire it with wood/coals.

Bayou Classic 5 Gallon Jambalaya Pot.

Best thing I have bought for bulk cooking.

I got mine from Amazon.

Looks like I’ll order it. Walmart and Amazon have some free shipping options. I was just trying to get it local.
Thanks for the help.

Santee General Store usually has many sizes in stock. Some are massive.

This one appears to be rounded with legs. Is it a bad link?

Or he's not good at reading comprehension and just suggest complete opposite of what OP said he wanted and why he wanted it.

Anyway, where I’m from we call the flat bottom ones bean pots and the round bottom ones wash pots..

How about that brisket chili recipe?

How about that brisket chili recipe?

3.5 lb of Brisket. You can substitute with a chuck roast.
1 lb Mild sausage
2 green peppers
2 red peppers
2 sweet onions
2 cans of pinto beans
2 cans of dark red beans
Small tomato paste
24-ounce diced tomatoes
2 cans of rotel
Beef Broth (this varies)
Chili powder 2tbs, Oregano 1tsp, Cayenne 1/4 tsp, Sugar 1/3 cup, AP (Salt and Pepper) seasoning 2tbs, and Chili packet.

I smoke the brisket as usual. Depending on the amount of chili you are cooking, I use the rest for burnt ends or whatever. If I am doing a large batch, I just multiply by how much meat I have. Last batch I did 3 briskets and used all the meat.

Slice peppers in half and onions into rings. Smoke for 1 hour.

While they are smoking, I cook the sausage in the pot, mix all the canned vegetables, and add beef broth for consistency.

Once the smoked vegetables are done, I chop them and brisket, then add in the pot. Then the pot goes back on the smoker until ready to serve.

I need a prilosec just looking at that

[DRDUCK]

Looks great. I do a similar recipe, just sub in Venison cubed, not ground..

While I love 3 -4 different kinds of beans in my chili, the Texans I run with would rather die than put beans in their chili. To them, beans are a separate religion from Chili con carne... chili or Ranchero beans are an all day cook affair with plenty of chile peppers and no tomatoes. It is fit to eat.

For what it's worth my youngest daughter makes White chicken chili and it is spectacular. Limes and Avocadoes are the condiments on that and it is damn fine.

Might just need to move this to the food section. I attempted another version of a white chicken chili last night, and it was just ok. I am still on the hunt for a good one.
