re: A Crawfish Boil Recipe For You Guys

Back in the day (70's and earlier), all you could get was the bags of seasoning. I think they were about half the size of the one in the photo, hence the need for 12 of them. There were no mixes or even liquid crab boil.
You had to control the salt and pepper as well as lemons, garlic, etc. Today those all-in-one mixes have all that included.
Question about the recipe above:
Is 6 gallons (24 quarts) of water enough to submerge 40 lbs of crawfish? That doesn't seem like enough.

Rat, the shape of the pot used may come into play, but to cover 40lbs of crawfish, I think you will need an 80 quart pot. And I'd think you'd need close to 1/2 of the pot filled to cover. He added 1 gallon of ice water to the pot after the cook, and with all of the lemons, it might be close. My guess is one may need a bit more liquid.
