   Interesting... I have never barbecued crab, but I seem to remember a restaurant roasting the crabs... think it will taste like burnt out seafood, unless you have a fantastic rub, but don't think applying bbq sauce will work well... but that's my opinion, haven't tried it yet.  You just gave me an idea to maybe want to try this out...

   I usually mariante the crabs in beer , chilli and garlic the night before .The next day just place in a wire rack and grill in the shell.The meat cooks to perfection in the sell then simply break open shell and scoop out flesh.

   Barbecued Crab is beautiful, as Simple Tim says keep it in the shell and just make sure you don't  over cook it,  a marinade without any sugar in it works well as is does not go sticky and burn.
