In past years, I have steamed up the shellfish on our kitchen gas range,
using two big pots at a time, but I'd rather be outside with everyone
instead of being in the kitchen.

Any recommendations? I'll be using a 60-quart steamer a neighbor has.

Thanks.

Try to find one of those old twin burner Coleman Naptha stoves. Would
that be big enough?
I've used mine for sweet corn lots of times.

Problem has already been solved, had enough. What the el is a naptha stove?

The burners they were selling with the turkey cooker setups are what
you want. Watch the garage sales and craigslist. These things show up
real cheap now and then. I suspect a lot were thrown away when the
"boil your turkey in oil" craze faded.
There's an idea. I'd only use it a couple times a year. I have a smaller
"indoor" crab and lobster steamer that's fine for the stovetop, although
the smell of shellfish cooking drives the cats crazy. If I had an
outdoor cooker, I could leave the smell from the shellfish...outdoors.

Never understood cooking turkey in oil when it is so easy to just roast
it in a pan in the oven, and avoid the grease and oil.

Not to worry; none of them are invited. I've been considering renting a
yard tent this year, what with all the damned rain.

Explains a lot!

Imagine having a nice party with friends and trash like John H and
floridajim show up...

The surprising thing is that Herring's wife is a nice lady. How and why
she puts up with her trashy husband is beyond me.

Floridajim is married to his hand.

I haven't seen it in years. In Connecticut, it used to be called white
gas. Different from white gasoline, of course.

It's always good to have a yard tent at a seafood tent party.

What's funny is that I know quite a lot about burners. I have two GOOD
ones. It takes a lot of power to heat 15 1/2 gallons of wort to a
rolling full boil. But, because Harry is such an asshole to everyone,
I wouldn't **** on his head if his hair was on fire!

Yes, if you use a 1 qt pot, it will be more than enough shellfish for
all of your friends. Now based upon the size of those fat stubby
fingers, you could eat the all the shellfish in a 60qt pot, but it would
be better for your health if you didn't.
