I've had this for several months now and it's much nicer than covers you see in stores. It was hard to find a cover this large at retail locations as well.

It's made of nice, thick, durable fabric. It's also long enough to keep water/dirt from splashing underneath it.

So I'm not your average consumer for a jambalaya pot. I'm a practicing pagan, and very active in my local faith community in Wisconsin. Cauldrons are a frequently used symbol and tool in our practice, and I was looking for one that would be big enough to actually hold warm cider for a fall celebration. When I tried to find one to purchase, however, I discovered that large cauldrons run in the $500+ range, so was very discouraged until I started randomly searching Amazon for cast iron products and found this! When seasoned all over, this jambalaya pot looks almost exactly like what we think of as a classic cauldron. I bought it, seasoned it and used it at our festival to much applause. I would highly recommend this product to other pagans. Why shell out an extra $300 just to buy a 'cauldron' when you can just rename a 'jambalaya pot' and no one will ever know the difference?

A few notes on the logistics of owning this product.

1)It is huge. I read over the specifications, but was still amazed at how big and heavy it really was. When I was transporting it I was glad I have a station wagon type car, as it wouldn't have fit in a normal trunk.

2) It is heavy. I was able to lift it with difficulty, but to transport it longer distances really needed either a strong man, or two people each holding one of the pot-hooks (Don't loose those!) When it was full of liquid I would not have even wanted to try to move it. That would have been impossible and dangerous when the liquid was hot. If you need to transport the cauldron off the fire for serving you'll have to empty it first.

3) Before using it you need to clean and season it. While I've seasoned cast iron pans before, preparing my cauldron what a whole other story. I had to wash it in my bath tub as it was much too big to go in the sink, and then clean off the scratches the legs left on the bottom of the tub. There is no way to season this in a conventional oven, it would probably break it. To season it you really need to use an open fire. I was lucky that there was a camp-fire at the event the day before I wanted to use it. I spent several hours carefully wiping Crisco over the whole thing, which turned it a really beautiful black. While purists will tell you to use bacon fat to season, I found that vegetable based Crisco worked just fine. There were vegans in the group would would be drinking out of it and I didn't want to offend anyone.

4) The stand it comes with is adequate, but I was a bit worried about how sturdy it really was when I had it full of liquid over the fire. I ended up not using the feet that came with the stand, and sunk the legs as deep as I could push them into the ash of the fire pit. The entire time I had it over the fire I watched it like a hawk for signs that it might be tipping. It did fine, but I'd monitor it to be sure.

5)It takes a while to heat up when its full of liquid, but not as long as you would think. I was really worried the cider wouldn't heat fast enough, so I built up the fire very hot. This resulted in me finding out how very well this pot heats liquid. In under 10 minutes the whole pot was scalding hot. I ended up having to damp down the fire and add more cider to keep people from burning their tongues! Cider is the only think I've cooked in it, but from that experience I would say it works VERY well to cook in. The 10 gallon model is so large I am sure you could feed 15-20 hungry people out of it.

My only complaint with the quality is that the stand could be more sturdy. The vessel itself is very high quality. Its very thick sturdy iron, and seemed to heat evenly. The protective wax coating it was shipped with came off fairly quickly, and when seasoned it was really a thing of beauty. I'm considering investing in another, smaller, pot from Bayou Classic so as to have a more reasonably size cauldron, and one I could cook with on camping trips for a smaller group. I would highly recommend this product for both jambalaya fans and for pagans in search of reasonably priced working cauldrons.

The product is well constructed if you get all the parts! I did not receive the ring that the pot goes in to place on the stand. After talking w/Mike from Bayou he told me he could not help that I needed to have Amazon contact them. So Amazon did w/ me on the line and Mike still wasn't helpful. I mentioned this product came from his company and by him not supporting that, this is poor customer service. He said I was Amazons customer not Bayou. I said you are selling your product through Amazon and you are supporting your product to me the customer.

After Timothy from Amazon spoke with Mike from Bayou he finally said he would look to see if he had 1 and would might call me back in about 30 min if he finds 1 to ship.

After spending 56min of my time on the phone Amazon wasn't sold that Mike from Bayou was going to follow through so is making it right. Too bad I spent approx $200 after shipping and still had to fight w/ manufacturer to get what I needed to be able to use the pot as intended.

Purchased this pot with the stand and hooks.

Pot arrived packaged very well and coated in paraffin. Melted off the pariffin and seasoned the pot using our outdoor gas grill.

The Price was right with free shipping and a $30 credit for signing up and paying with Amozon credit card.

Wish I would have bought the lid with it as I couldn't find one of size locally. I made a lid out of an aluminum pizza pan I got at a flea market. It works but I'm sure the lid that is offered would fit much better.

I am very happy with this pot for the money spent.

Honest reviews on Bayou Classics Cast Iron Jambalaya Kit

Arrived UPS in fine shape--uses mini-wooden pallet inside heavy carton for protection. I have cooked two beef stews (one for 15lots of left overs-every one in family loved it and took some home and my dogs got some after a week). Another for about 40 in a pot luck Birthday event--still leftovers and everyone raved over it. Cooked one over fire and coals and one over a propane burner. Fire adds ambience but burner is bit quicker and easier but noisier. I will probably do wood when I have time and propane when away from home. Stand is well designed and sturdy for coal or gas. Unit just fit in my Oven for curing--twice at 500 wth Crisco and fan on high. Recommend the cover lid of course, the wooden stir paddle (paddle slides under lid handle to remove from pot) and big 22in aluminum laddle. Am looking to buy Lodge folding lid holder now. Next year plan on event for 150 hungry cavers, butterflied young steer on big outdoor grill, and will use cast iron pots for the sides. Highly reccommend for large group, leisurely cooking with low failure rate,and added ambience. Great addition to your outdoor cooking if you don't mind handling 50-60 lb empty pot (the included pot hooks work well).

If you buy this smoker grill, be prepared for the following. It is not completely bad, but it is typical low quality merchandise from communist China that is only warranted by the manufacturer for 3 months. It is made of thin sheet metal, has misaligned holes, screws that are made of soft asian metal so the heads will definately strip out, missing parts, merchandise arriving in an old, beat up box that is held together with packing tape, substandard parts, poorly fitting parts, wobbly cart, etc. Also be prepared to accept the fact that the life span of this product is at best 3-4 years quite a bit longer though, if you really take good care of it.

The paint on this grill will peel and fall off the first time you heat it up. The thin sheet metal will then be exposed to the elements and it will rust immediately. So, when you buy it, also buy several cans of quality Rustoleum high heat paint. You will literally have to touch it up after every third use or so. This advice isn't just me talking. This comes from the directions that came with it. My advice is to paint the whole thing with a good quality, high heat paint before you ever use it for the first time. Stop the rust before it ever starts.

Something else you should know: The lower grates that the charcoal is supposed to sit on are literally the thickness of spokes on a bicycle wheel. They are extremely thin, cheap wire making up these grates. The whole grill is 36 inches across, but the charcoal grates only cover about 2/3 of this. The charcoal grates came wrapped in a lot of heavy grease to keep them from rusting before they could make the trip across the ocean to the USA. What I did was immediately threw away the lower charcoal grates that came with the grill and got two old grill grates that came out of an old Weber gas grill that was made back in the 1990's. I turned them lengthways and placed them end to end across the bottom of the grill and they fit perfect! Then I went out and bought a 13x9 sheet cake pan and drilled holes all across the bottom and sides and used this as a charcoal tray/basket. If you were to place the hot coals directly on the bottom of the barrel box, it would burn through in no time.

All in all, it is a basic cheap smoker/grill that is really not as bad as I may be making it sound like, but it will require several modifications before you can ever use it for the first time. It will reasonably do a halfway decent job for you, but will last you only a few seasons if you irresponsibly leave it outside in the rain and snow uncovered. If you keep it garaged, cleaned, and maintained it will last quite a bit longer.

Another thing that should be noted. There is absolutely no way of contacting the company that manufactures this grill. None! The name on the grill and the instruction manual that comes with it says Omaha Grills. Yet the manual contains no information on how to contact the manufacturer for replacement parts, warranty concerns, questions, etc. The manual has no address, no telephone number, no website, nothing. I have searched all over the internet trying to locate any business by this name and only one company comes up. They sell only gas grills and have nothing to do with the making of this smoker. I called them and asked. It's as if the company simply does not exist! So you must ask yourself: What sort of manufacturer purposely hides this information and won't even tell you how to find them? Yet they want you to spend your hard earned money buying their product and enriching them? Simply put, if you need replacement parts, be prepared to make them yourself or use spare parts from other grill manufacturers. That's what I had to do.

I specifically bought this particular product because it was the only one of it's kind available on the market. I wanted to use it as a smoker only. I didn't want to buy a barrel type smoker with an offset firebox attached because offsets are too difficult to control temperature. I have much better results when the charcoal is right in the same box with the food. Also, and more importantly, I wanted a traditional barrel type smoker with an old fashioned,"centerport" lid with solid walls on each end of the smoker, not a "clamshell" type lid where the whole upper half of the unit lifts up everytime you raise the lid. Brinkmann's, Char-Grillers, Char-broils, and every other barrel type grill on the market today all have the clamshell type lids. These types lose their smoke and temperature immediately when the lid is opened. I chose this unit because it's the only unit on the market that had the exact features I wanted and was priced less than $150.00. I didn't have much to choose from if I wanted to get these exact features in a smoker.

To save on shipping costs, I went down to my local neighborhood hardware store and asked them if they could get this same smoker? They looked it up in their catalog and found that their supplier offered this same smoker. I had my local hardware store order the smoker and it was delivered to their store on their regular biweekly load free of any delivery charge. So that is a way to save money on shipping charges with this unit.

I recently had a Bull built-in BBQ installed on my deck. It is awesome. I have been doing a lot of cooking on our kitchen stove-top griddle and decided to get a griddle for my BBQ. I selected Bull because of the quality of the grill and other Bull accessories. This griddle has the same level of solid, if not indestructible, high quality. I highly recommend it. I have used it many times already with great results. It is a generous size which means it provides a good sized griddle cooking surface, but also means it takes up a lot of room on the grill. So best for those of you will big grills. Cleans up nice a shiny with a little Barkeep's friend.

I purchased one of these griddles thinking I could use it to barbecue chicken and ribs. Not good for that purpose. Probably best suited for things you'd normally cook on a griddle..like eggs, bacon, pancakes and the like.

I had purchased this grill in summer 2010 actually from a quality grill shop that beat Amazons price. I had initially only heard the name before but not familier with their products but after some research I found out they are a cousin company to Weber so that being said I went ahead and bought it, though normally I am a charcoal guy my apartment complex wouldn't let me have a charcoal grill so I had to settle with this. My first time grilling with this I was quite amazed at how juicy my food was, I like grilling alot of chicken, and steak as well as corn. This thing heats up in no time at all and at that, it can reach high temperatures that the inexpensive grills at wally world won't do perfect for cooking steaks, and for the money is really a good buy as far as overall quality goes. The side tables are a little flemsy but the rest of the grill is of fairly decent quality with cast iron grates very heavy and easy to clean. It is not a huge grill but it does have enough cooking space for most people will do for a small family. I would buy this grill again it's a winner for me!

I purchased this grill in late January at an off season price. The grill was received with no damage to it or the packaging. I have grilled pork chops, burgers, tri tips and steaks. All have turned out the way we want them. The cast iron grates leave nice marks if you are worried about that sort of thing. The Broil King gets very hot and will sear your steaks and burgers nicely. Research shows that OEM and aftermarket parts are readily available for this grill.

The assembly instructions can be confusing if you do not take your time and examine the pictures. Its all diagrams without written instructions. I had no problems and had it assembled in about an hour.

For the price you are not going to find a better propane grill. This grill is a bit old school in its look but is built to last. If you can't afford a Broil King take a look at Broil Mates by the same manufacturer.

King Kooker outdoor fryers are crap. The one I had fell apart after only one year; The burner snapped off at both joints.

I would highly recommend Bayou Classic brand for the following reasons: 1. The pot comes with a basket as well as a turkey rack. 2. It comes already assembled, except for the regulator. 3. It's much more sturdy and the welds that hold it together appear to be more durable.

Do not waist your time and money buying this item.

When I placed this unit on a level surface, it wobbled back-and-forth because there is a 1/8 inch discrepancy in the build. I'm sure the discrepancy would be fine if you were using a heavy pot of oil/water, but I purchased this item for a wok and cast iron pan, which doesn't have the weight to eliminate the wobble.

I was going to have the welding department at my office fix this item but they told me it wasn't worth their time. They also pointed out all the poor welding... This unit will be sent back to Amazon!

The grill cleaning blocks that I bought on Amazon are the replacement blocks that fit in the red plastic handle/holder. They do a great job at cleaning grills and they last a pretty long time. I use them more than I use the normal wire brush, although I do still use a wire brush. You do have to wipe the grill off to remove the stone dust residue when you are done.

This product is similar to a pumice stone but not quite as abrasive. I used it on a very dirty grill and it polished it up like new using about a quarter of the stone up. Now i use it every few times i grill and it keeps it looking great. I think it would work well on porcelin cooking grates but i think cast iron might chew thevtone up too quickly.

Ordered the grill and have cooked several different types of items several times.

Problems:

It was a problem to assemble as the "directions" gave little help. If I were not good with assembling things, I would have sent it back right then and there.

Uneven heat with lots of overly hot spots and then others that are cool. So food cooks unevenly as well and constantly has to be moved.

The super hot spots have a tendancy to have the food stick even when it's been primed with oil or cooking spray.

It's only good for very small items and really only cooks on the areas where food touches the grates. The heat in the interior is almost non-existent so you have food that is spotty in appearance.

All in all, I'm sorry I bought it.
