I'm moving to another state and have 50 lbs of live rock that i want to keep. How do I "boil" the rock so I can start from scratch when I get to my destination?

If you really want to start over by "boiling" your rock, you are saying just that. Throw your rocks into a big pot and turn up the heat. 10-20 minutes should be plenty to heat the rocks internally. However I would just let them dry and once wet again anything that had died will help start your cycle.
why do you want to "boil" the rocks. whats wrong with them? if you are already using them why aren't you just puting them in a container and keeping them damp. then just cycle them again

Sometimes there are bad things that get into the rock. Boiling kills all this and sanitizes the rock. Its quicker then letting the rock simply dry out.
