After quite a lengthy search for a large cast iron pot ,that I can cook ham and beans in, I came across the King Kooker on Amazon for a pretty darn good price. A pot this size is hard to find used and when you do people want way more for them than they are worth. Usually you will be sanding and grinding an old one to get the rust off and re-seasoning it as well. Back to this pot.....Its a great looking pot and it comes seasoned. The "J" hooks are to lift it off of a tripod stand (not included) if you get one. I am going to fashion a handle and use mine with a tripod and hang it from a chain. Here is the problem. When I received it via UPS I opened it up to find the aluminum lid sitting directly on top of the pot with only 4 small pieces of paper and a thin sheet of packing foam between them. If you know anything about cast iron then you can imagine what happens when you roll it around on top of aluminum. The lid really isn't poor quality it is just no match for the weight of a 50+ pound pot. So the lid was beat up beyond use. I called amazon and they quickly took care of the problem by replacing the entire pot. I tried to get them to just send a lid but they insisted on replacing the whole thing. The second one came in damaged as well via FedEx. It wasn't quite as bad but none the less will have to be bent back to be able to be used and has a lot of scratches on it from the "J" hooks being loose inside the package. I called once again and they told me all they could do was give me a full refund and send it back. Being that I have to have it for a party in 9 days I asked them to give me a partial credit and I would just keep the product and either fix the lid or get a new one somewhere else. They agreed and gave me a pretty decent and fair credit to fix the problem. I am happy I have a very nice pot now. It is rather unfortunate they wont package these things better when shipping them across 4 states so customers wouldn't have to go through this. I would give the pot itself a 5. If you don't care about the lid the pot is well worth every penny especially getting free shipping. I will say Amazon was very polite in handling the problems.

for our church bean dinner it worked out perfectly, with the handle one of the congregation members made we were able to hang the pot and cook a great batch of ham & beans. Our last dinner we were worried whether we had enough prepared, this time there was no worry. Later the clean up and re season was a breeze, with the pre-use recommendation the burnt area cleaned real easily and in 30 mins it was finished and stored til the next use.Honest reviews on King Kooker 5940 10-Gallon Heavy Duty Cast Iron Jambalaya Pot
I was skeptical about ordering a new kettle, made in you know where, but I'm sure glad I did. I spent less...didn't have to clean rust...didn't have to drive to pick it up... didn't have to repair it... and it cooks great. Quality appears great...quick shipping...relatively damage free (minor lid dent), and did I mention cheaper than used kettles? It has a flat center bottom that worried me but it rolls a boil just like a fully round bottom. Used it three times already and not one problem with sticking chili, beans, or veggie soup. Would recommend to anyone.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for King Kooker 5940 10-Gallon Heavy Duty Cast Iron Jambalaya Pot
