Thanks a ton. I think this is what I'm going to go with. The cheapest I can find in town right now is $1.79/lb for live ones. From what I've seen, they are a pretty descent size this season. I debated whether to try this now or wait till next year (crawfish season is almost over), but decided to go ahead and give it a go.

I've never had onions, sausage, or mushrooms in the mix, but everything I've read says that it's great. Looking forward to trying. We're not super-super-spicy people, but thanks for the tips. I think my pot is 42 quarts or something like that. Considering I had a 25-35 pound bag, about how much do you think I could cook at one time?

Crawfish boils are something that I've always attended, and seen done a million different ways, but have never done myself. They are tasty. They take some time to learn how to peel quickly and to get all the meat out of the tail (I also work on the good sized claws), but they are worth it! Thanks again.
