Note1: 20-gal pot with basket was just barely large enough

TIPS FOR SEAFOOD BOIL

3) Fresh corn on the cob tastes best, use white, yellow or bi-color corn. Used frozen cobs and worked OK

5) Use kielbasa or Andouille sausage. Andouille sausage can be a bit spicy
6) Make sure you discard any clams that haven’t opened up before you serve your boil.
