2 inches above the crawfish, a lot less than most people, keeps the seasoning from being diluted

Also try bringing your water to a rolling boil before adding the seasoning then immediately add crawfish, keeps from loosing your seasoning in the steam

If there's not enough water when you drop them you can always add right away. Won't hurt.

Only enough to ALMOST cover the crawfish.

Seen too many people dilute their seasoning by filling up the pot.

"I added THIS MUCH seasoning"

Yea. with way too much water.

10 gallons....is exactly perfect for a sack. I measured it once, scratched a notch in my pot and no more guesswork. Water is just enough to cover the crawfish when dumped in.....no wasted seasoning.
