re: First Time Crawfish Boiler- Update 2-28-16

No problem.

I think once you get the pot somewhat cooled after you immediately cut the fire, you have a lot of leeway until the crawfish become mushy. I did a semi update to this thread this weekend with temp results. You might be able to take away some info for your next boil

Meant for Jones. I did stir it like u said in ur link bc I added the corn and it seem like it made no difference. I also added water to the outside. Once I stirred it the crawfish definitely seemed to sink pretty quickly.

Yea I think you would need to add 30-40 corn to even notice a difference. Seems like a combo of everything is your best bet.

Mixing from the bottom and then spraying that with the hose is a good thing imo. It isnt diluting it enough to even notice and a wide spray nozzle thats just above a mist does a lot to cool a heat source.

He might have just been skeptical and didnt want to risk it in his mind. 30 minutes is plenty for a soak imo.

I dont see them getting mushy though as long as they were initially cooked properly and cooled like I posted. We have let a sack soak for an hour and 15 minutes and they werent mushy. Spicy as hell but not mushy
