Tried and true Chackbay boil in 2022?!?

You’re about to light your friends rear ends on fire. Chackbay is excellent, but potent.

got enough salt?

I never used chackbay. I know the sodium content is way less than any other brand. So from what I read, bare minimum of 2 cylinders (26 ounces each) will work perfect. Which comes out to 3.25 pounds of salt. Someone mentioned before that popular brands (LA, zats etc use 3-4 pounds of salt in their mix)

I'm hoping it'll wow my group of co-workers.

For 40 lbs, use 1/3rd pack of Chackbay, 16-24 oz of Zats liquid, dry seasoning of your choice (I use Zat's) for 25-30 lbs of crawfish and 1 can of salt. Add the citrus, garlic, etc that you like and you should be good.

Chackbay has very little salt but is @ twice as hot as normal pepper .

I’ll just lick a salt block to save cash

I use a bag of LA powder and a bag of Chackbay along with 2 cups of Zats liquid for the soak for one sack and they come out perfectly spiced but not arse-burning hot.

I have done that plenty of times.

I do have a very large pot though, 120qts.

i have a 100qt pot, which i usually fill right below half.

Fill to the 5th ring on your basket.

1 bag of Chackbay, 1 8oz bottle liquid, 2 boxes salt.

With 2 bags they will be hot AF, and very few people actually like that... ive been using Chackbay over 20 years.
