I'm playing with recipes in my head.
Honestly since its a bunch of out towners who won't know the difference I thought about using them as guinea pigs, but I might stick with my old tried and true recipe that I know works.

Chackbay has virtually no salt in it. If you're only using Chackbay you have to add a good amount of salt imo.

I have been using Chackbay for years in my boils. I don't boil a lot, maybe 1 or 2 times per year, mind you. In a 120qt pot.
I'm boiling for some out of town guests in two weeks and thinking about changing it up.
What do you use, and in what quantities? What do you like about that blend as opposed to others?
I typically use an 80 qt pot, 1 large bag of Louisiana, 1 bag of Chackbay, 1 bottle of liquid boil.

As others have said, chackbay is more of a supplement.
I usually got 4.5lb bag Louisiana, bag chackbay, 1lb bag of Louisiana and 16oz of zats liquid. Louisiana's liquid boil sucks. And usually two whole big bottles of lemon juice. I like em salty n citrussy (not the citrussy)

As an aside, I think I pretty much like the other brands of seasoning mentioned whether preferred or not. Like Zats and Louisiana, they both have a flavor that is good even cravable, but I’ve preferred Cajunland for the sweet element and also low salt. Tried Swamp Dust couple years ago and am hooked too, as it seems like a medium between CL and more the LA/Zats flavor, with some extra stuff too.
I need to try some of the newer ones too. Please recommend.

I use chackbay and add some zatarins liquid boil and a whole big arse can of minced garlic.

100qt pot
16oz Zat liquid
4.5lb bag of Cajunland powder
~1lb Louisiana powder
1 bag Smashed Garlic Boil Booster
To me Cajunland is only missing that "pick" that is necessary in boiled crawfish. That's why I started adding about a pound of Louisiana and for us, it's perfect.
People rave about my fried chicken and don't believe me when I tell them what I season my batter with...Cajunland crab boil powder. That's how good it is.

Does anyone still use the old fashioned crab boil bags with the mustard and coriander seeds etc... in addition to the powdered and liquid boil seasoning. I miss those flavors sometimes.

Yeah I’ll usually get a couple and throw them in. Probably as much for nostalgia as anything.

I use Louisiana or Stalekracker

1/2 tub of Zats extra spicy and 2 or 3 1# bags of Louisiana.

I just burned everyone’s motherfricking faces off. I did have to soak slightly longer than I would have liked because of people being late but goddamn the heat was intense.
I’m not going to add any zat concentrate for batch 2 and adding extra citrus
