Can I use this to monitor my turkey while in a deep fryer

I'm not sure how well it would work. I've had trouble with this one getting too hot in the cable linking the probe to the monitor. That can destroy the connection. I don't know if the oil in your deep fryer would be at a higher or lower temperature than inside a grill. If it's lower, it may work just fine. If it's higher (I grill at about 350 degrees F) it would probably not work.

When deep frying a turkey or other item on the rotisserie make sure the oil covers half of the bird without exceeding the max level. Basket usage needs to be at least to the min level.

you can use this for frying plantons or you can use it for fish. I have never used this for deep frying. It can also go in greens or green beans or flavor vegetables when cooking

Yes. We use it for anything we fry. We bought this because our power goes out often and we must use our genersaterr. The generater won't run our range so we use this for any meal.

I never tried that. Can definitely be used for frying, but don't know how it works for deep frying

This is to shallow for deep fry--I suggest Presto Deep Fryer for fish and bone in chicken. This is great for boneless chicken and pork chops etc.

Yes. I also recommend that you purchase an instant read thermometer also. The reason why is that with cooking a turkey your thermometer could be off a 1/4 of an inch and get a complete different reading. One other tip...don't submerge your prob in water to clean, it will ruin.

YES, You can stir-fry and deep fry, but obviously the depth of the wok would limit what could be deep fried. You could deep fry some shrimp tempura, but I wouldn't attempt a turkey!

I don't think you can use it for turkey fryer I read it in the instructions when I received mine as a warning these are low pressure hoses I think you may need to find out more on the hose you need to replace before ordering it !

The instructions warn you not to fry anything in this pot. I typically take warning labels as a challenge, however, and proceeded to fry a turkey in it without any problems. I think wings would be fine. Just make sure your oil isn't getting too hot and the chicken is dry before you drop it in and you should be fine.

Should work . Husband even used it to check for heat / coldness of our house windows for drafts . Bit, the main use in our house is temp of oil for chicken wing and deep fryer for Turkey . When he gets it he's checking temps all over even my boobs... Donna lol lol

It's not really designed for that purpose, but if the turkey fits, I don't see why not. The metal might be a tiny little bit thicker than what you'd see on a turkey fryer, and a turkey fryer would most likely be constructed of aluminum instead of the stainless steel used here, but that's about the only real difference. Most people repurpose in the opposite direction, to use a turkey fryer to brew beer, so if that works, I think that tells you everything you need to know.

As others have said, it probably will not do what you are probably looking for since it will only provide a surface temperature. However, if you want to know the temperature of a frying pan, or the interior of an oven, or the inside of your freezer, theses are all things the unit can do.

Just my opinion. I would not attempt it. It says in the description "fry" but it lacks a temp shut off (at least my model does) that would prevent overheating the oil. The "fry" basket and pot are shallow, about 1/4 the size needed for a turkey. If you look at a decent turkey fryer, there seems to be more guarding around the burner and the hose to the propane tank appears longer. Nope, not me. Maybe shrimp, fish or fries, but not a turkey. Be safe. Please, buy a recent unit with updated safety features that is designed for frying a turkey. Good luck. BTW, this is a heck of a nice GRILL. Just my opinion. I would not attempt it.

I wouldn't use it for deep frying but it can be used for braising and browning ground meat.

This unit does not fry a turkey. The large fryer will do 12lbs and the xxl will do 14 lbs

The clip is adjustable. It slides up and down the stem/probe. The temp is just under 12 inches long. The entire stem of the thermometer is 12 inches, so length should not be a problem for you. My fryer is about 18 inches deep. The probe just needs to reach into the cooking oil. I've fried a half dozen turkeys of the past three years. Having an accurate thermometer was a big help. Because of your question I took the time to post my own picture with notes under the advertiser's picture. I hope this helps.
