The Best Tailgating Equipment for a Game-Changing Seafood Boil

What’s a tailgate without a powered cooker? Our cookers include a basket, lid, built-in stand, and an interchangeable burner, so you’re ready for any tailgate or backyard get-together.

But convenience is just one reason why our large seafood boil pots are the best equipment for tailgating. Equipped with our patented Tunnel Tube Technology, our pots have nearly 3x the surface area of a traditional stock pot and come to a boil in about one-third of the time.

What does that mean for your crawfish or seafood boil?

  • Far less fuel use
  • Less heat in your cooking area
  • Saves time and costs to operate
  • Heats 3x faster than other pots (and holds the heat)
  • Comes to a raging boil in under 7 minutes
  • Returns to a boil in 90 seconds

Not in the mood for a crawfish boil? This tailgating equipment is also the best for slow cooking or whipping up favorites like chili and gumbo. With our Triple Jet burner, you’ll be cooking to perfection in a way that brings a whole new meaning to the “Holy Trinity” of Cajun and Creole cooking.

A High-Performing Fryer for Your Fish, Chicken, and More

Fry up fish or chicken that’ll make you the talk of the tailgate with our high-quality brazier pots; because they are perfect for perfectly frying even the most delicate fish, they’re also great for just about anything else you’d like to fry up.

Built using our Tunnel Tube Technology and heavy-duty aluminum, these pots deliver unmatched speed and heat conductivity that’s perfect for high-temperature methods like frying. That means you can fry up batch after batch without waiting ages for your oil to heat or reheat, preventing burning and other undesirable effects.

Make fried fish sandwiches, serve your fish alongside some hush puppies, or enjoy your fried fish and chicken as-is with the best tailgating equipment and gear for frying.

Our fryers also feature a sturdy tripod design for stable cooking and come with a Banjo burner, which is a propane burner designed for high efficiency with precise flame control.

An Outdoor Burner That’s Built for Efficiency and Ease of Use

Tailgating is fun, but it’s also serious business.

That means you need an outdoor burner that can keep up. It should be durable. It should heat quickly. And, it should provide reliable ignition that prevents the need to struggle with manual lighters. The Boil Boss Triple Jet Propane Burner checks all those boxes, making it the best piece of equipment you can use for tailgating.

Not convinced? We’ll let its design features do the talking:

  • Easy Ignition: Matches aren’t invited to the tailgate. You can start your burner with the push of a button. Yep, it’s that easy.
  • Triple Jet Layout: The Triple Jet Burner has three flames in independent locations to enhance flame-to-pot contact. Its Flame Retention Plate works to keep them under your pot longer for more even heating.
  • Blue Flame Jet: This burner’s blue flame jet design adjusts propane-to-air ratio across a wider pressure range. The jet tubes induce double the air, allowing them to reduce propane consumption. The key takeaway: the blue flame jet ensures faster, more efficient heating without wasting fuel.

Boil Boss: Your Seafood Boil’s Quarterback

If your goal is to create the best seafood boil at the tailgating festivities, you’ll need equipment that’ll stop the cooking process and be ready for your boil for the soak.

Rather than lugging bags of ice, we recommend the Boil Boss cooling ring. Sure, you can keep your frozen corn if you desire or because it’s easier to keep everything cool during transport; however, with this cooling ring’s patented design alongside the Boil Boss thermo paddle, you can keep your cooldown to an exact science rather than hoping for a Hail Mary on your timing.

All you’ll need is access to a standard garden hose. Once it’s connected to the hose and attached to your boiling pot, it surrounds the entire outer surface area of your pot with a steady stream of water.

This 360-degree water coverage rapidly cools your crawfish, shrimp, or crab in under 5 minutes without the need for ice, which makes it not only the best gear for tailgating but the best equipment for backyard parties, 4th of July cookouts, and more.

  • No more mushy seafood
  • Better flavor and liquid absorption
  • No recipe dilution
  • Less stress
  • Results you can repeat at the next seafood boil
