I need to finish whittling the boat first.

 

Simply train them to crawl into the cooler... you don't even need the dang boat...

Was at a bachelor party this weekend up in the Poconos.  We had 40 lb of live crawfish overnighted from Louisiana and I used my propane burner and steam pot to put on a pretty great crawfish boil with potatoes, corn, and smoked sausage (couldn't find any andouille).

 

Only hiccup is it took WAY longer to boil the water (like 6 gallons) than I thought it would.  Over an hour.  It was cold outside and we filled it with the hose.  But once it got going, was 10 min for the potatoes, 5 min for the corn and sausage, 5 min for the crawfish and then let them soak in the water off the heat for 5 more.  Turned out delicious, though the boil spice I used (Louisiana brand) was really spicy and really salty.  Would try a different one next time.

 

And, someone had a brilliant idea of using the leftover potatoes and crawfish tails to make a kickass hash for breakfast the next morning.  All cooked in bacon fat, of course.  Was ridiculously good.

We also had a whole pig roast the next night.  We just ordered that from a butcher/caterer, I didn't roast it myself.  I now really want to try, though!  Alas, I don't think I could fit a very respectably sized hog on my 22" Weber :)

There's probably 12 or so jokes to be made here.

There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note

I'm surprised you didn't cook it using Native American techniques, cooking it in the earth.
I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

In the mid-70's, I did that once... I didn't kill the pig, a guy named Gabriel did that... but we cooked the pig in the ground for a long bunch of hours...

Did you measure how hot you were able to get the meat?
