Crawfish boil

Posted by coachhim on 6/5/25 at 12:41 am
My last few crawfish boils have been not entire sacks. I’m wondering if I’m using too much Water?

I want them hot then fire hot ! I’m doing over 200lbs this weekend.

Any pointers??
My bad about the all caps. I didnt know i would hurt people's feelings.
Hello. I don't have a whole lot of time to sift through the threads. But we are doing 4 sacks for our annual boil this year. I have always used swamp fire and added some liquid boil to it and some cayenne.

I am in OKlahoma so i have to order all you guys stuff up this way.

So what are you guys favorite seasoning. Swamp fire is dang good, but am I missing the boat??? Zat is too salty for my liking. I was reading about red magic... any good???
TIA
the 3/4" is female end to the 1/4 inch brass t piece that is attaching to the 1/4 tube

the riser is at lowes its threaded at both ends you can saw it off with a hacksaw or a good pocket knife

I did keto gave up on it because I want a dang cookie. Counting calories is much better for me. I can drink a 12 pack of ultra before lunch
Biggest thing I am picking up is just enough water to cover the crawfish, if I am doing an entire sack then I need to go with less than half pot full of water.

some say liquid boil some say no. Personal preference?

Academy here has cajun land seafood boil and louisana brand. They also have the little boxes of zatarans seasoning.

*potatoes go in first.
then onions, then fruit
go in with the crawfish,
3 mins max on cooking crawfish

they float they are good to turn off heat add corn and sausage and mushrooms
then soak until they sink



next week on the 16th or 17th i am doing a sack. Should be ready now. You guys helped me a bunch.



Sure. first I tried pvc. Couldnt bend it without using hot sand and I didnt feel like going though that trouble. So I got 1/4" PEX tube from Lowes its used for your hot and cold water tubing in your house. It is flexible but sturdy that it will keep its shape. Got one shark bite with a 3/4" female end, used a Orbit 3/4-in MNPT x 3/4-in MNPT Cut-Off Riser, this has to go in to the shark bite 3/4" female end because the sharkbite threading isnt the same 3/4" thread for a male water hose end. I used some turnbuckles to hold it on the pot. probably should have ran the pipe through the turn buckles that wasnt very smart but is should work. i drilled some small halls approx 1" apart as straight as i can do it.

I cut about 3 inches of pipe to connect the 3/4" female end. That black piece is the top portion of the 6" cut off riser it is threaded on both sides. then the white piece has 2 female ends they both turn, they should have black rubber o rings in them. they will connect to your common water hose. Im one of those folks that doesnt care how it looks but long as it works as it should

Hope this helps

I'm a DYI guy so I made me a couple things.
This cost me $40 total for the washer and cooler


Used peg pipe and shark bite for the cooler






crawfish washer

pot cooler downer
trying to get some info here

I have seen youtubers doing craw fish boil this way

1/2 bag swampfire
1/2 bag louisiana brand
totaling 4.5 lbs
add 1/2 bottle to 1 full bottle 14 oz cayenne pepper
1 16oz bottle concentrated boil

Get a rolling boil
Add potatoes sausage corn for 10 minutes
add onions oranges lemons cook for 5 mins
add crawfish bring back to boil cook 5-8 mins
turn off fire

cool off put with frozen jug of water or frozen corn or 10lbs of ice or some $60 cool pvc pipe that hangs on the pot??
cool the pot to 150 degrees

let crawfish soak until they go to the bottom or longer depending on how much spice i want

Is this correct, ideas etc? I did my first batch last week, and it sucked. no heat not enough spice etc.

So i need some ideas or pointers please!
