First bit of advice, ignore the first responder as he knows jackshit about purging crawfish. First purge in clear water is to allow you to cull through the sack and find the dead critters. The second is salted water will turn the water into a rolling boil of mud,shite emptying water. None will die from this process. You will need two ice chests for the process. Water in first, empty second for the first purge. Water with salt in the one which the crawfish were in the first go around.

Precisely what I said "many people have their own methods"
Guess what, I guess I can say you know jackshit as well. But then you'll tell me how you learned to boild from your dad, grandad, and great grand dad who were big time cajuns and have the secret almighty recipe for perfect crawfish. STFU and let people throw out whatever they want.
The ice on top method is where right after you have boiled everything, you cut the gas off, open the top, and toss some ice to cover the top of the pot. This stops the boiling process but keeps the water hot and lets them soak. It lowers the risk of overcooking while soaking. The longer you soak, the better and spicier they are.
