Picked up some Dugeness crab clusters from Costco for a pretty good price, prepped and smoked them using Malcom Reeds recipe and they turned out absolutely delicious!
Recipe:
-Melted 7 sticks of butter (probably overkill but oh well lol), mixed in preferred spices.
-Dunked crab clusters in butter/ spice mix, set aside.
-Set smoker to 250° Fahrenheit, throw crabs on and smoke for 10 minutes.
-After 10 minutes, baste with same butter/ spice mix, then smoke for 20 minutes.
-After 20 minutes, baste again, then smoke for final 10 minutes.
-After 10 minutes pull off of smoker, let them cool to desired temp then enjoy!
Total cook time was 40 minutes at 250°, I feel as though I overcooked them a little and my smoker temp fluctuates frequently so that wasn’t helping. Overall the taste was amazing and the shells cracked perfectly! Only had to use the claw crackers for the claws themselves. If you haven’t tried this yet I would highly recommend it!

They are already cooked. So better to just think of it as warming them and maybe stay at 150-180 if you’re gonna go that long
