Low Country Boil BGE Style

I decided to try what we call a "low country boil" in my Dutch Oven instead of the big pot we typically use. I couldn't cook as much but didn't need to this time and it turned out fantastic. :P I think a cast iron pot should be added to the "must have" accessory list.

    Cadillac,

    Can you share the details of this cook--I'm from the north and don't do many (well any) boils.

    This looks good and I would like to try it.

    Thanks,

    Ed

    1 lb of shrimp
    1 bag of crab boil or old bay season to taste
    salt
    Pepper

    Instructions:
    - Bring water to a boil and add crab boil bag. (add bag as soon as you put the pot on the egg if you prefer a spicer tasted)

    I usually do my boils on a turkey fryer. Do you think that doing them on the egg gets you more flavor? Did you add wood chunks?

    I typically do mine on the fryer as well. I got about the same amount of flavor but I did not add any wood chunks. Me and my wife discussed yesterday and I think next time I will add some chunks to see if it would add some additional flavor. I liked it because it was very quick to cook.
