- Not worth the effort and doesn't get hot enough
- I bought my fryer two years ago. I'm an avid outdoor cook but could not get this thing to create the impressive fried turkey that everyone talks about. I think it's because my wife's oven baked turkeys are already done to perfection (juicy, dark brown on the outside, etc.) and are hard to beat. My expectations were higher based on how people rave about fried turkeys.
As for the product, I had a VERY hard time getting this thing up to temperature. In two years I cooked six turkeys in this pot and had the same problem every time. I tried adjusting the regulator, etc. without luck. The flame seems to be fine but it simply does not get hot enough. As soon as the room temp turkey goes in, the heat drops down and will never return back to appropriate cooking temperature. This could be due to the fact that my cooking always took place in the cold months of November and December in VT. If it won't work under those temperatures they should advertise it as such.
The product quality is good. Very sturdy and durable. It's just too bad that it doesn't get hotter to really fry that turkey right! - 2008-08-30, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Turkey Fryer
- worth the $$. read other reviews and was apprehensive about purchase, couldn't have made a better choice. Just fried up 2 Turkeys they were delicious, took about 30 minutes to assemble all parts and screwes were there, no short ones that were stated in previous reviews. All u need is a little common sence and just read directions and follow should have no problem. 3 1/2 minutes per lb. thats all u need to know LOL

- Works great, but paint burns...
- Bought this in anticipation of having a crawfish boil. Ended up trying it out as a deep fryer a couple of weekends before (fried a 16 lb turkey and some other random things). It worked great! We then had the crawfish boil, and again it worked wonderfully. As an outdoor cooker, I had no problems with it at all.
I had read some of the reviews about assembly problems and parts not fitting or breaking, but this went together effortlessly. I did end up using my own ratcheting wrench to put it together as the location of the nuts made it difficult to use the small wrench provided in the kit, but I imagine one could assemble it with their wrench.
My only complaint is the paint on the base. A good portion of it burned as we first fired it up, which gave off a horrid stench and some black smoke, which ended up staining the sides of the aluminum pot. After about 15 minutes it was gone. The base now looks like it is 5 years old and worn, as opposed to only 1 month, but what are looks when it works great? I'd still highly recommend this item. - 2008-04-14, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
