I always looked at that crawfish washing tub as a dumb gimmick

Does this clean crawfish better than just soaking them in a bucket and emptying the water multiple times?
That’s what I do and the water is always crystal clear. What further benefit would there be?

Open ice chest lid and drain
Dump sack in
Spray with hose
Rinse until the water is clear
Make sure they don’t die
Or pay $70 for something that has one purpose.

If you are going to go through all that trouble to cool down the pot you might as well use an immersion chiller. That way you can direct the output water wherever you want it to go through another tube and you won’t flood your space. It also cools the water down much quicker.

I know I know. I'm just doing this as a hobby and think it could add an extra layer of cleanness, and would be a little easier than the old method.
As for the immersion chiller, I've also thought about doing that, but I'd have to hook up a hose for the offflow to go to the edge of the yard so I don't create a muddy mess. It doesn't seem worth the effort.

Nope.

You don’t have to run it for long. It’s probably 3-5 times as fast as that spray ring

This s my crawfish washtub that has been in use since 1977.

makes your burner rust to shite and fall apart in no time
hot steel plus water equals heavy rust
use that and you will need to buy a new burner every 2 years
i used to do that with a water hose until i learned better.
best method is turn off fire, pull basket out and lean at 45 degree sitting on top of pot, wait 5 minutes for it to cool stopping the cooking process, then drop back in water and let soak. the cool seafood sucks in the hot water seasonings get inside very well and makes it better

To each their own bro. I don't do any of that but we all have our own deal.

Between this and the $80 bucket I don't know which is worse

Right?

If you used that on the Saturday before Easter Sunday for a large family boil, I know you because my friend/married to a family member had one just like that.

I just use the same pot and basket I boil in to clean them. Fill with water and then get a good shoulder/traps workout pumping the basket up and down many times then empty and repeat. Water is clear after 2 or 3 times.

Sorry, not me. I didn’t do any boils that weekend.

What is used at the connection point, i.e. where the outside pvc piece connects to the bucket and inside piece? Or is it just a one piece tube going through bucket with a gasket or something to make it watertight?

A bulkhead, like this
Like I said, once I get it working, I'll post a parts list in a new thread for anyone interested.

This certainly works the have them sink faster, which means the liquid has gotten into the shell. But I’ve tried this method and several other ways of cooling them off quicker. And while they DO sink faster, I still have to leave them in for the same length of time for it to soak into the meat. I dunno. It just seems like that even though they are juicy, the meat is flavorless. It still takes a while for the meat to soak it up and have it be seasoned as well. Just my experiences on it.
