Red Stagg Deer Roast.
We make our weights. A pack of cheap 20 oz plastic cups. 40 lb sack of concrete, and some wire (coat hanger size) cut about 6" and bent into a u shape with the ends then folded out. You can make about 25 weights with a small sack of concrete. We use Trotline Clips to attach the jugs to the weight.

We do use about 25' line. With a 3 way swivel about 3' under the jugs. Off the 3 way we have a 60lb mono leader about 10" long with a circle hook. Sometimes we fish the Intracoastal and need the longer line.
My best wedding gifts were a set of folding tables and 6 chairs for when we have crawfish boils and barbecues and need more seating. I also threw a nice ladder on my registry. That ended up being a good gift, still using it 21 years later.
The Zattarins in a jar calls for 6 gallons of water to 4.5 pounds of seasoning. That .75 pounds of seasoning to 1 gallon of water. When I boil my vegetables. I put about 2/3 of the jar, when they done i take them out, add the rest of the seasoning and boil my crawfish. In that instance my ratio is about 1/2 pound of seasoning to 1 gallon of water.

I avoid crockpots to cook in. Now, I will use them to keep chilli or gumbo hot. But to cook a chicken or a roast..... not my thing.

Id bang all of them except Killary, but I'd Marry Maria.
I've kept one in a No Colors ice chest for about 9 hours. It was one of the best briskets I ever cooked. My situation was it cooked faster than I anticipated. When I took it out it was still about 170 degrees internal. I had it wrapped in Butcher paper, foil, then an old beach towel.

I rather the before.
I had some boiled in seasoned water then dusted, flavor was really good. I do it every and now again at home. It does make a difference. But to straight dust and spray mustard all over them is criminal.
When i was a kid I dindt like tomatos or cottage cheese...... or so i thought. My best friends mom served us some fresh garden tomatos with some cottage cheese a little sea salt and some fresh cracked pepper, I tried it and it I was hooked. One of my favorite snacks now.

There's probably an app for it for it now but when my first one was born I read the book what to expect the first year. Really let you know what was going on in the baby and mom's life.
Under 45 mins, id go under the west bank side of 310 bridge.

If you mean actually run, about a day.
When I boil 1 sack I fill my pot to the top of the 5th ring of holes and use 1 zattarins, 1 small bottle of crab boil and a box of salt. If 1 do 2 sacks I fill to the top of the 7th ring and all of what i add for 1 sack plus a half container of zattarins, 1 box of salt and 8oz of liquid crab boil.
We have some engineers that work with us in their late 20s, early 30s who I know have never taken the skin boat to tuna town.
I find even with seasoned lids it still gives it a taste.

If you do that first couple cooks wrap it foil or your rice will have to much of that black iron taste. I use an aluminum lid (stop sign) with a couple bricks on top.
