re: Crawfish Boil Q's

It is a tad late in the season, but you should be okay in the end. In answer to your wood fire, dig a hole and put coals into it and build a firepit out of bricks out the outside of the hole. Utilize a ship vac with the hose attached to the exhaust end to act as a bellows. Keeping them alive for a day just takes spraying them with water to keep the gills moistened. Don't go into the purge/don't purge 100 years war(I am pro) as this thread will be fifty pages long.
