What he said is generally what I do (different seasonings)
Has any one tried the 2 pot steaming method? steam in one pot and soak in another with spices, if so how were they? May give that a try next time.

They can come out really good. But I’ve found that they aren’t quite as juicy when peeling them. So if you suck the heads it may not be for you.
Just make sure that your soak pot is still around 160 degrees when you put them in to soak.
Also, if you are using an aluminum pot make sure you have enough water in there. If all the water steams out, you can melt the bottom of that aluminum pot really quickly. If doing multiple batches you need to dump the steam water and refill with fresh before the next batch.

Pretty much every video shows them boiling in plain water and not steaming.

I tried both steam 2 pot and boil 2 pot methods. I also did it side by side with the same sack. From my one test side by side, the 4 tasters said steam is cleaner. I want to do one more test one of these days.
From my experience, the boil method is more consistent in cooking temperature. For the steam, you need to stir the crawfish around so all the crawfish are cook evenly. It's kind of hard to do if you have an 80/90 quart pot. You also need to make sure the basket is not higher than the pot when raised up for steaming. Your burner has to be strong to create good steam.
