[@dwaynewladyka577]

That's a pot full of awesome flavour. I wish that was at my local blues music festival, along with the food they have there. Looks amazing. Cheers, Rus! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Good times Dwayne! Thanks for checking it out! Cheers!

[@travisyoung3179]

Looks great. I remember when the old school boils you made your own seasoning mix and I still do from time to time , but the premix is so much more convenient and user friendly for everyone

[@AndrewIanWeir]

Awesome Rus, I look forward to your crawfish boils all year!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoy the boil videos. We always look forward to doing them.

[@derekknight5069]

I haven’t had a crawfish boil before but have seen many and every time it makes my mouth water!!! I need to get some!!!

[@SleeperBBQ]

Thats one of them cooks with all that fun going on you'd find me passed out in a chair of alcohol abuse and a full belly LOL great video Rus TY

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

LOL, yeah man, these days are the best! We all had a blast. It was well overdue. Thanks for watching Lance!

[@SleeperBBQ]

@@SmokyRibsBBQ You can tell you where in your element. I remember those days steaming up the seafood we don't do them anymore. I had more fun watching the people enjoying life and steaming the next batch

[@GrillinandChillinwithMojo]

Lance thanks again

[@BBQPITDOG]

That cooker is something.....especially the way the bottom is made! Looks like a great time Rus.....you are the Master Bud! Good to see Mojo there and even the Doberman was excited for this boil!! Cheers Bud!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

It's a beast Rob! We had an excellent time and I'm ready to do it again.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Now that looked so good and I am crazy jealous!!! hahaha Looks like a great pot, Rus!!! I have been waiting for this cook all year!!! ha ha

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

You know first hand what you missed out on. Wish you lived closer brother! The pot is a beast!

[@teryniafielder7230]

There is nothing like a crawfish boil to have your friends and family over! These were some of the best you have done in a while! Love the shrimp! As for some of you who don’t know, I was the last person he showed! ❤

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Absolutely! This is how great memories are created that last a lifetime for everyone present

[@thepatio5702]

Pretty sure I have seen every boil video you have done. I could watch every week lol. Still my favorite and I've never done a boil here in Michigan.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Wow, thank you!

[@JDsBBQnBourbon]

Always been intimidated when thinking about doing a boil. Great video!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Hope you give it a go sometime JD. Thanks for watching

[@mexican707]

Another great video from Smokey Ribs BBQ. Thank you, Russ!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

You're welcome and thank you for stopping by to watch!

[@tomstestkitchen]

Looks great Rus, reminds me of those old "Spring Fling" days at JB's in Baton Rouge!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Tom! Kinda felt like those spring fling days for sure!

[@ICHIBANDIPPER]

I love your boil videos, awesome.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you 😋

[@cajuncoinhunter]

Oh heck yeah , Dat's a nice pot , I never saw one like that before ..... Nice way to cool down the pot also ....

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yeah, it's a beast of a pot for sure!

[@davidhernandez9252]

Awesome video Rus! Awesome pot! 🍻 Almost forgot Happy Mother's day to your wife.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks so much

[@thebaldchef14]

Where was my invitation? Wow this looks amazing! Old school all the way through Cajun! love your traditional old school crawfish boil this is how you do it folks down the delta! Nice job!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it and I appreciate you watching!

[@BSBBQ-dh6gk]

Rus. Those look great. I have that same pot less the burner. I already had a Banjo burner for my fryer.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Bo!

[@RustyBBQLamb]

Some great looking stuff never had them but I know where to go for the best

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Rusty! It's a regional thing I suppose but we sure do enjoy getting together for a good crawfish boil. It's been a bad year for them, but they finally came down in price a bit and better size so we did them while we could.

[@garryhammond3117]

Thanks Rus! - Man - I wish I was there! That pot is unbelieveable - I can just imagine deep frying a turkey in there. - How many tanks of propane did you go through? That's a LOT of BTUs. Cheers brother!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Believe it or not, I only used 1/2 of a tank for both boils. If you noticed once I got the water boiling then I choked the gas way back to maintain a decent boil while cooking the veggies but when the actual crawfish go in I crank it up for the 4 total minutes it takes to boil them then they just soak with no fire so it really doesn’t take as much gas as one would think.

[@Rolling_Smoke_BBQ_Cooking]

That’s an awesome setup

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks for checking it out Rob!

[@frankmarullo228]

Good video Rus ,, been out of town with cousins for eight days. But I'm back thank YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA........

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Glad you enjoyed it Frank and hope you enjoyed your trip.

[@BronsonWally]

Looks great, we have nothing like this up in Canada, cheers

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks for the visit, cheers

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

My kinda party right there,and a good time was had by all...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yes sir, good times

[@victorbenner539]

Hmmm, looks great.

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

fantastic video!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thank you very much!

[@richardguillen-ck9qq]

Ok russ let's get cookin my friend 🦀

[@gabrielgonzalez7239]

Man that does look good Rus 💪🏼 definitely jealous.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks 👍

[@dcbqb19]

With that steaming plate, you just showed another for a boiling. The point of steaming is to have the food come out without being drenched in fluid coming out

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I think you’re missing something. I boiled these crawfish not steamed. I was showing the steamer plate to let folks know that you can also steam with this pot, not just boil.

[@Offsetter]

That burner doesn't freeze your propane tanks? I had to buy a propane tank splitter hose for my setup with a 10-inch banjo burner. I replaced that 20psi regulator with a 60psi. You got me looking at that pot, though. That brazier set up they have looks awesome.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I had no issues with the tank freezing. I started with a full tank, and the longest it ran at full throttle was the 8 minutes to get it up to a boil. I choked the gas way back to maintain a boil for the sides, then right before the crawfish went in, I cranked it up, and 4 minutes later, I turned it off to let them soak. I would imagine if your tank is really low on gas then it could present a freezing problem but I didn’t have any. I normally use my 30 pound bottle but on this cook I used a 20 pound tank.

[@Offsetter]

​@SmokyRibsBBQ Thanks, that clears up a lot. I noticed that rig running a 30psi regulator, so I'm just focusing on the wrong thing. Awesome cook and great cooker man. I got to get me one.

[@marcr4566]

Looks like another awesome day. Do those pots come in different quart sizes?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yes they do

[@The806Traveler]

Another atta boy! Russ!!

Thanks, I appreciate ya watching!

@@SmokyRibsBBQ lol

[@charliecrackers4643]

Got me feeling guilty I’m still using my solid bottom pot I inherited. It’s like 30 years old.

[@brentjohnson2315]

Hey Russ PLEASE help!!! Remind me how much seasoning per gallon of water. I’ve seen you mentioning multiple times but can’t find the episodes. If memory serves me right I heard 1lbs per 2 gallons water. I need the final word. Doing a shrimp boil with the fixins for my buddies soon with a 120qt High Performance cookers pot this weekend.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I actually said it in this video too. Yes, 1 pound of powdered boil mix for every two gallons of water

[@austinguess6048]

Are the Cajun Rocket Pots still available anywhere.....please I need to know???

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Not that I'm aware of.

[@grantfoster9099]

first boil this year rus? i only boiled one time this year so far cause my burner pooped out on me so I've only been doing 10lb sacks in my lil plastic seafood bucket lol

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

We went to another boil but this is my one and only for this year. It's been a bad year for crawfish.

[@brianschneider671]

I'm sure you've mentioned it numerous times in other vids but do you have a recommendation for a supplier that ships live bugs? Just field run nuthin fancy. Thx Rus!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I really don't know but one because we get them here, but I know LA Crawfish ships them live. Probably cost a lot to ship but they do ship them. www.lacrawfish.com/

[@randyshifter]

i feel like i was absent for some reason.. run it back Rus!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Nothing I would like better than to have you and Christy at one of these boils. Hopefully next time your work schedule will line up with the day we plan. Thanks for checking it out Randy!

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]

zamzam water

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yes sir, that Louisiana mud is good for you!

[@scottmason6282]

Can You Fry In It Russ ?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

The burner is not made for frying because of it's intense power but they do have fryers if you want to take a look. I put a link in the description

[@scottmason6282]

​@@SmokyRibsBBQ Ok Thanks Russ ! 🙂🙂🙂

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

at 18:40 mins, which one of the ladies is your wife? i dont think i have seen her on your videos? but would love to see who your better half is. 😊

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

She was the one who closed the video at the very end.

[@gailsfoodandstuff]

@@SmokyRibsBBQ i had a feeling about her since it was at the end and she looked so happy with the food. cool video!

[@byronhaversham6238]

Shrimp frozen?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

No, as I said in the video they were ice cold. I bought them fresh and packed on ice.

[@janfrey3431]

Why does everyone stand when eating not just this video? Im fron southern Delaware sit at a table with crabs spead out on paper. Wait a minute mabe i should stand usually im so full its hard to get back up.

[@kurtgreen1040]

I’m sorry but I left your party hungry and got as bad as it is got fast food

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Glad the video got you hungry! Get your boil on bro!

[@mikaelaalexeev6620]

So cruel to kill crawfish!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

All meat you eat is killed one way or another, but my guess is you don't eat meat.

[@jerrelfontenot747]

We put very little in the pot; no mushrooms or sausage. This is not traditional !

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

LOL, there is one in every bunch.

[@teryniafielder7230]

So I guess steaming is wrong, too?

[@dirtyunclehubert]

its that time of the year. i so far havent missed out one!
