I too am a Weber charcoal fan. But I grill more than I smoke. On the rare occasion I do use mesquite.
Yours sounds scrumptious.
I use the Weber Kettle, with charcoal and some Mesquite, Blackjack and Pecan wood for smoke. It only takes about 15 minutes, so I keep them covered, with the exception of stirring them halfway through. I often do this when I cook steak, so the steak has set the requisite few minutes before eating. Yum, Yum!

Had my first boiled crawfish yesterday. Dam they were good!

My daughter's sister-in-law built a new 200 seat restaurant and they invited us to sample the crawfish before they open up in a few days.

They will serve only boiled crawfish, shrimp and crabs. And chicken nuggets for the kids menu. The will do very well.

I also have a Big Green Egg, which gets a lot of use also...particularly for baby back ribs, chicken, and ABT's.

Yeah...I have looked at those.

Unfortunate, for me, LOL...the wife just does not like smoked foods. Her only "flaw". LOL. Me, oh my, fish..turkey, some cuts of beef. Issue with the Weber, is small, and takes a while with lots of feeding. But it worked.

I sure hope they do great. In our area all the restaurants that just boiled and sold boiled seafood by the pound have closed down. We still have a lot of restaurants that have regular menus and sell boiled seafood in season "by the portion" which is much more expensive than by the pound.

If we want to buy extra large crawfish we have to travel all the way to Abbeville to buy them.

I was doing a job the other year in Maryland and I had the weekend off. So I stopped by a place and they set me up with 6 extra large boiled crabs that I took back to the hotel for a crab feast. Man, what a chore eating those things!!! They were delicious, but what a ton of work. I think I lost weight eating them with all the work it took.

Now lobster, crawfish, mussels, steamed clams or grilled oysters are a different story. I can eat my weight with those and never stop!

I remember many years ago, a buddy and i went to a local restaurant, buddy knew the owners. It was a crab, all you can eat special. Lets just say, the crab cart seemed to get kind of scarce after awhile. We were expert crab crackers and eaters for sure.

Same here. No dungeness crab all you can eat special is subject to a belly full from me. Actually one of the tribal casinos up here had that as a buffett offering on Saturday nights and we were regulars. The pandemic shut it down.
