A removable drip pan located underneath The Big Easy heating chamber catches all the bird's flavorful juices, allowing cooks to retain the essential ingredients of homemade gravy for further preparation on the stovetop.

this product does not work. i tried to cook a 4.5 chicken the bird never got golden brown oil does not maintain 375 it took almost one hour to reach 165 degree internal temp after the bird was put into the oil. temp never got past 295 degrees and i had to use the full 2.5 gallons pennut oil to cover a 4.5 lb chicken how can they say this will cook a 18 lb turkey. better test it before thanksgiving. i am using the old oven method

no...it's made for the outdoor Big Easy by Char-Broil, not an indoor counter top oil-less fryer by Big Boss

I really like this unit, it works great, frys like a champ. Make sure you use a thermometer to reach the proper heat, which I use 170-190 for my frying chicken, fish, & French fries. The drain is large enough for the cooled oil to drain properly, the heat element raises up so you can remove any large particles or peaces. I use a towel in the floor underneath. Cleaning is a project but it's quite rewarding when I cook for large groups. It makes fried foods crisp, and golden brown. I keep it clean when not in use, and cover it until I need it again... I love it!!!

I got this model at Lowes. Don't buy it. It sucks!! And is dangerous and Char Broil has horrible customer service.

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 !

Yes I did. Works well, last week cooked a 25 lb turkey in 5 1/2 hours. It didn't use much propane. The turkey was really juicy and the fat drains into a pan on the bottom of the cooker which the turkey does not sit in the fat. Cleaning the unit is a little time consuming but not that bad.

As a consumer I'm aware that the capacity of the fryer is a 12lb turkey. I would then assume that the wattage of the heating element, the watt density and the type of controller were adequately designed by the manufacturer for that specified capacity.

Horrible....before the turkey was dropped into the oil the temp was perfect....once I placed the turkey in the large oil 'container' the temp of the oil dropped quickly and NEVER got back to the proper degrees for efficient and proper cooking....I would recommend a gas propane turkey cooker, much better and will maintain oil temp.

this big easy oil-less turkey fryer as an inner cylinder that has a solid bottom there is a burner ring beneath it which heats the cylinder to the point that it transfers the heat to whatever you have within it (there is also a footed basket to place your turkey or roast in) the instructions as I remember them tell me that it cooks with infrared heat, I've used it and am pleased with the results. You cannot smoke anything with this item, but it roasts pretty well.

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 don't know. But. I suggest trying QVC or Homeshopping. In the last couple of days, Emeril was on one of the channels advertising a fryer. I was just flipping channels so the one on tv may have been a newer version.

I looked it up on 'Askville by Amazon'. There is a ton of good information there. Ikeep mine tightly sealed and in a cool dark area. It is still good but there is not much left. I have been frying more often than normal.

Can't help much, Catherine. I bought the rotisserie based on the 40# capacity mentioned in the ad. I have done 25# birds in both the kettle and gas Weber grills with pretty good results. Only the wingtips were fried crispy. Really didn't care about the wingtips. I bought this rotisserie in the hope that I could do a 20-25# stuffed bird for Thanksgiving. I would imagine that care will have to be exercised in balancing the load so as not to ask the motor to do too much, but can't see why this rotisserie would be overly taxed to do a piece that is only 66% of the advertised load.
