[Philmont] 4qt vs. 8qt pots

We had a crew of 10 this summer, and used 4-qt pots with no problem.
Sometimes we needed two for a course. We had four 4-qts along and never
had a problem with "pot space" for the meals and clean-up water. I
think the 4-qts pack more easily than the 8-qts due to size.

I've found that you need more than 4 quarts of water for some of the
Phil meals and definitely need the 8 qts for non-phil meals with a crew
of 10 to 12. Even with the freeze dried phil meals, there were several
times where we needed more than 4 quarts just to rehydrate the meals.
The 8 qt also made it easier to mix an contain the meals in a turkey
bag. The 4 quart was not tall enough to get a good mix in the bag.

Another skill clarification...
I'm trying to get a handle on the 4qt vs. 8qt pot cooking strategy.
We've been using the two 8-qt pot method using Turkey bags. I've been
trying to get my head around the 4, 4-qt pot strategy. Does this assume
that you don't want to do the "cook every thing in one pot" method? Is
a 4-qt big enough to sanitize eating gear? What is the procedure with 4
pots... Again, questions based on a full 12 person crew.

TIA
