Since we are heating hot water, we should use it to have an online shrimp boil.

NOW we're talking! It's been 2 weeks since I had one and I'm ready. Unfortunately, I'm now in W TX and not FL so not sure how we can make that happen.

Can you get any crawfish out that way?

I can get them but it isn't easy. I have kinfolk in LA that can acquire them and get them to me, and, we just went through there and didn't have time to "partake". I did sit in front of a little shack called the "Crawfish Palace" one evening trying to fight traffic and it was packed, and, it smelled out of this world. Guess I'll have to make a quick trip back...!!

Crawfish season (happening right now) is one of the things I miss most about living in central/south Louisiana.....

This time of the year, you'll find people parked along every road with nets lining every drainage ditch, catching "mudbugs". In "times long ago" I did the same, but with the crowded conditions these days, the taste of diesel and burnt rubber is just too overpowering for me. I'll buy mine from ponds that sit a "fer piece off the highway".....

You guy's got it all wrong. Steam is for Maryland blue crabs! Place beer, water, white vinegar in the pot, add the crabs with plenty of Old Bay seasoning and kosher salt, add silver queen corn on top. Cover table with newspaper or butcher's paper and set the cooler full of iced down beer within reach.

Now you have a few hours of bliss!

Do all water heaters have an anode tube? I have looked all over mine and can't find one...

Depends on the type of water heater. Which brand is yours?

If it has one then it will be attached to the drain plug. If the drain plug is plastic then it doesn't have one.

Thanks, yes it does have a plastic plug, I know this because it is removed from the tank for some reason. Is this good or bad thing?

It is neither. Just means the tank is empty and you know that for sure.

You will have to find your bypass valve and make sure it is on the open position and you're WH is filled BEFORE you turn your electric heater element on.

I did find my bypass valves, they are open now. How do I know when it is full?

You can tell when it’s full by opening the pressure relief valve at the top of the heater. If water comes out, it’s full. Be careful, the water will be hot if the heater is on

Hook up your water and open a hot water valve farthest away. When water comes out it will be full.

I'd just add to Chip's post that when the water starts to flow from the hot water side of the faucet to let it flow a minute. Aair will make it "spit and spurt" until it's all purged.

You should do this to every hot water spigot, including the outside shower on the initial fill after the water lines have been drained.

If it has the plastic plug it will be an Atwood/Dometic brand. It does not require the anode. Leaving the plug out over winter is fine. You need to drain it each year when winterizing, placing the plug back is would be optional - I leave mine out.
