Water to top of lip of inner basket. 2:25 lit 5.5 swamp fire 10 oz concentrate All veggies n sausage minus mushrooms Rocks n artichokes: John C 3:19 dropped 3:26 cut the fire. Dropped shrimp n mushrooms at 3:27 Dropped corn at 3:35 Borderline overcooked. Adding ice next batch Batch 2 - Half a bag of swamp fire. more concentrate. Added spice and veggies Rose to boil Dropped at 4:33 7min added shrimp mush At 10 we dropped ice killed fire. Now debating corn drop. 15 min. Corn was frozen. But who cares! Then did a third. Kept adding spice. Ice was key because it has more volume and retains the heat. So we were worried about overcooking vs. spice. But all three batches tasted great - except the corn - Brent!!!! 4/8/2023 Use Bryan's bigger pot but keep the original recipe. Gave us room to work. Let's just get the artichoke situation out of the way: John has been finding rocks and cheesecloth and trying to sink them but they need to be cooked longer 45minutes min. So, preboil? Microwave? Do we care? Also, hop sack would work great here. Bread - have BT in charge of it. We did two sacks from Quality. Sat morning pickup. Good quality all around. $3.75lb Batch 1: 2:20pm water, poisons veggies. 30minutes later at boil. Dropped 2/3 sack of crawfish. 8 minutes later dropped shrimp and mushrooms 2 min later killed boil. Dropped ice and frozen corn. 30 min. Temp at 161 when done. Great flavor all around! At around 3:30/40 Batch2: Moved to big pot. 4:13 started fire. Added 1lb of swamp fire. 4oz of concentrate. No extra water. Dropped veggies. 17 minutes later boiled. Dropped bugs. 7minutes later dropped shrimp and mushrooms. 3minutes killed heat. Dropped ice and corn. 30minutes served. We might have been too precise with everything. Veggies needed a bit more cooking (potatoes and garlic) And some felt not as spicy. Core team thought it was great though. Bunch of complainers. We certainly adjusted on last round. Batch 3: Added another lb of swamp fire and 8 ounces of concentrate. 5:40 started fire back up. Dropped veggies. 7 minutes later dropped sausage. let it all boil for 4 minutes. 6:07 dropped crawfish. 7 minutes later dropped shrimp and mushrooms 5 minutes later killed heat. 30minutes served. Hot spicy STFU batch of boil. 4/13/24 Procured 45 lb of crawfish from Stuffed. $5.25 lb Oh how we keep evolving. We added fresh corn with the veggies and worked great.

Lemons. 3:24 Dropped Bugs 3:32 Shrimp and mushrooms 3:35 cut heat. 1.5 bags ice. (since no corn) 3:50 test, firm need more spice. 4:05 wanted more spice so let them go 4:12 Pulled up at 168° Dare we say - perfect? Oh yes we dare. Awesome all around. (adding time was worth it).
