Rinse crawfish in ice chest until it runs very clear
Fill pot (80 or 100qt) a little over halfway
Add one bag of either LA seasoning or Cajunland tub
One of the liquid LA
Fire it up and bring to a boil
Add potatoes(I just use the new red potatoes for boils), onions and garlic if theyre very large
I dont do a specific time here. Its probably 7-10 minutes
Pull the basket out and add crawfish and all the other fixins.
Drop basket back in and crank up the heat
While the basket is heating up for a few minutes, I usually open the lid and give it one stir
Close lid and wait for white smoke/steam to start coming out.
Let boil for 1-2 minutes then cut heat
Immediately add squeezed lemons/frozen corn and start hosing the outside of the pot
Best way to cool down everything is to just keep stirring. A bag of ice doesnt do anything to a 100qt pot that was just boiling
Drink some more beer and start tasting at 15 minutes
We usually pull around 25 to 30 minutes and let the pot drain
Thats the jist of it
As long as you buy quality crawfish, clean them like hell, and dont overcook(which is hard to do imo) them, you should be fine.
When to add veggies to me is usually based on size. Fragile stuff like a mushroom can be added right before you cut the fire. Large onions will take awhile. So will large garlic.
Once you boil a few times, you kind of get your own way and times.
Crawfish are hard to screw up imo. Good luck

What is it yall think this is accomplishing other than making a mess?
Great advice otherwise
Guessing the downvoter also salts crawfish to purge them

Disagree with adding ice 100%
I'll stir some to release heat but throwing a 5-7 pound bag of ice definitely helps in dropping those top crawfish without stirring the entire time.
I'm not filling the entire 120 quart pot with water, 40 quarts (1/3) and adding a bag of ice to the top will definitely cool off the top layer of the water. That's what i want to drop those crawfish quickly without stirring a bunch.
It does NOTHING to dilute your seasoning that you can taste.
