SGH, ThatGrimGuy, Randy the Gumbo Person, Me and some other folks - Crawfish Boil Competition

in Off Topic
I took today off work to prepare for the 15th Annual Louisiana Crawfish Boil Competition.
A few of us forum denizens (again) take a foray into another genre of cooking. In this case the method is through heat transfer using heated dihydrogen oxide solution to cook small crustaceans. The purpose is to have fun because you only live once.
http://louisianacrawfishchamps.org/
So, after an entire day of running around town acquiring supplies, loading and moving stuff to our booth (#13 next to the Hooters Girls, I believe) in some of the worst weather we've had this year, we're excited about Saturday's boil.
There are 53 teams cooking around 20,000 pounds of crawfish for hungry hoards of locals.
SGH is crashed in our spare bedroom. Jazz the cat normally sleeps there. I don't think he's gonna move, so Scottie will have to share the bead.
Weather forecast for tomorrow is idyllic. Homebrew on site. Blackstone griddle on site. Evan Williams on site.
We will be experimenting with an immersion cooler system designed for wort to cool the boil. Pump, battery on site.
We'll keep you updated, if you care to monitor.
Cheers.

The Friday night party was mostly rained out (band started playing during a brief period without rain and soon said fck it when it started pouring again) but we're gonna drag our butts out of bed early Saturday and git er done!
Pictures to ensue. Hopefully. We'll be pretty busy.

I've cooked crawfish maybe 10 times in my whole life. I'm an expert on eating them. But how hard could it be, right? I'm pretty good at improvising. Scottie has been doing some test cooks.YukonRon said:How's the competition look? You all got this, right?
(in other words, we'll probably lose to seasoned coon-asses that have been cooking since they could wear white shrimp boots and drive a go-devil before they learned to read).

Marrero, LA. Do tell him. Unfortunately this coincides with Hogs for the Cause... NolaBrew asked me if I wanted to cook with him at that, but I had already committed to this. They're both for charity. And it's fun to be out of your element.YukonRon said:Standing by, gonna tell my BIL about it. Maybe he is attending or participating. Where is this being held?
Dihydrogen oxide can be tricky. Good thing I will have some trusty ethyl alcohol on hand to get me through it. Not my first time here though...I know the ropes (at least through some foggy memory) from last year, somewhat *burrp*.

I'm pretty sure last year the pics were all of Nola drunk and passed out in a lawn chair. There was only like one pic of the Hooters girls."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

I am beyond jealous. I can't get crawfish here in Canada and have always wanted to do a boil. I will be watching this thread closely. Good luck and "Go Team"!!!Mt Elgin Ontario - just a Large.

Dang- sounds like a great way to spend a night and following day. As long as you have plenty of adult supervisory beverages and a designated driver nothing serious can go wrong. Have fun and enjoy inhaling the crustaceans.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
