Place your peanuts in a large pot or bucket and use a sprayer on a garden hose to rinse your peanuts,
and when the water floats the nuts, the loose debris will float to the top when the contents of the pot is agitated or stirred.

Set up a cooker if you are boiling a large amount at one time, or get a good heavy pot to place on the stove.
Peanuts are boiled outside, using a propane burner and a 20 quart (5 gallon) stainless steel stock pot.
Good Old Columbus County Recipe

Pour your peanuts into the pot, and add enough water to cover them by 3 or more inches. Some will float to the top, so the amount of water may have a deceptive appearance. Push the peanuts down with your hands, and you will be able to tell how much water is in the pot .Add salt to taste. The rule of thumb is to add 1/4 cup salt for every ten pounds of green peanuts. For older, tougher peanuts, more salt may be needed so the nut will absorb enough salt to season your nuts. Bring the contents to a boil. On the propane stove, you light the burner and turn the flame up high, on a cooktop,  turn the burner to high until the water is rapidly boiling, then reduce the heat/flame so that it maintains a rolling boil without producing excess heat.

Stir the peanuts about every 15-20 minutes, watching the water evaporating from the pot, it will increase the risk of your pot boiling over while the peanuts boil.

After an hour or so, remove some of the peanuts with a slotted spoon and test (taste) them.
Peanuts that have fully absorbed water will sink to the bottom of the pot.
When they have become tender, the nut is easy to remove from the shell when it is opened, the peanuts are done.
Cooking may take as long as 2-3 hours, depending on the age of the nut

Taste for saltiness. If you desire, before removing the nuts from the boiling water,
additional salt can be added and the peanuts can continue to boil for another 30 minutes or so.
Keep in mind that with the increased salinity of the water, and the additional boiling time, the already cooked peanuts can become too salty very quickly,
so use caution at this stage.

Turn off the stove/burner when the peanuts are salty and tender enough to suit you. Drain away the excess water,
 and place the boiled peanuts in a bowl to cool and enjoy.They are also great before being cooled.

Refrigerate or freeze leftover peanuts in zipper type freezer bags for later enjoyment.
Remove frozen peanuts from the bag when you want to eat them, and warm them by heating for a minute in a microwave.
