Can I expect to use this to boil over a standard turkey frying setup? I will sit on mine. My quesiton is will that fire be big enough?

I have used mine successfully on a Bayou brand fish cooker. I was concerned about stability but it worked fine. Great pot.

Yes you can it just depends on how many btu's your burner puts out, that will determine how vigorous your boil will be and how long it will take to get to a full boil with this pot

That Should be fine. You don't want your wort to come up to a vigorous boil too quickly. So the amount of heat should be ok.

Yeah - I use mine on a turkey fryer. If anything I have to keep it turned down as my burner is capable of producing more than enough heat. Hope that helps!

I have been using a turkey frier propane burner with this brew kettle without any issues. Although I have only been using about 7 gallons so far. I would imagine with more water you just may need to wait longer for the boil. The biggest thing I noticed is with the large diameter of the pot there is a greater surface area of the wort exposed so I had a lot more evaporation of water in the process.

Rebecca, If you plan on using this kettle to boil wort I would recommend a larger burner element than that found with a normal turkey fryer. On brew day you want to get things done as quickly as possible and heating a wort to 212F can take a bit of energy, and time. I personally use a banjo burner for this purpose, it has well over 100,000 btu. I use smaller 50,000 btu burners for heating mash and sparge water, the output is more appropriate for that purpose. Hope this helps.

I started with a standard 60,0000 btu burner, but found that it took a long time to get to temp on a 10gal batch. I recommend a banjo burner. 240,000btu. It was easy to keep a boil and bring to temp in half the time also it uses less fuel. Hope this answers your question.

I think all burners heat most effectivley on top of the burner that is the same size. If you want it to heat a larger pan it would be advisable to get a aluminum pan or a copper bottom pan to distribute the heat more evenly...........Ken

It would be too big for the average burner/stove. I use mine on an outdoor propane burner. Takes a while to heat. Very large pot

I looked at the turkey fryer and it looks like the hose is a standard hose. If you need a stainless hose, you should give it a try. You can always return it.

The floor of the insert is 13cm or 5 inches. But this pan is strictly for double boiling. I suppose given some butter or oil, you could set three eggs in it to poach over boiling water in the bottom pan, but I would not use it for frying.

No way will this little burner boil 5 gal of water. More because it would be too heavy and too large around. The burner sizer is not very big. I have a 5 gal bucket in my basement so I know the size of 5 gal. You will need to look for something almost industrial to hold that weight and size.

I've seen two other questions in the list that ask this, and their answers are both from people that use this for water bath canning with great results. Technically, because the burner is higher than the surrounding countertop, the kettle could be knocked over. However, if you don't have developmentally challenged folks in your home (or large animals that play on the countertop?), and are careful, I can't see why this wouldn't be a good solution.

I'd recommend going with a lower PSI setup for your gas grill than this. I use this only for my dual burner setup for boiling shrimp and crawfish in my 160qt pot. I suppose you could use this for a regular gas grill, but way over kill and could go with something else cheaper for your gas grill

Yes. Think of it as just a huge stock pot on top of a flame. I've used it for turkeys, low country boils, Brunswick stew....

It should work just fine with an induction plate, however it will certainly take much longer to establish a rolling boil. Using it over a direct flame source will be much more efficient for the volume of liquid that can be put in it.

I wouldn't try it. The issue I had with the pan was with my flat top stove. The burner heats the part of the pan that touches it so quickly and the part that overhang the burner stays cool causing the pan to warp.

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 !

My husband ground mine off, as it didn't fit on the configuration of my burners. He remembers they were about 3/4" tall. IF IT WORKS WITH YOUR STOVE, it should sit flat.

since it is a small double boiler I would say a half gallon would do it with out boiling over. I'm afraid it is too small for a full gallon. But it is just the right size for most cooking jobs, I love mine.

This pot is HUGE!! 32 Quart. It barely fits on our larger burner (electric). It is taller than it is wide ... which helps. And it distributes the heat over the entire bottom quite well ... even the part that hangs over a little. I don't know how much oil you'll need but a 20+ lb. turkey would fit in it easily. I wouldn't mind having the recipe/directions for deep frying turkey in this pot. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this pot!

I am currently using this burner with a 100qt (25Gal) pot for brewing. It can heat sparge water rather well (~168F), however using the 100qt as a boil kettle with about 15 gallons of wort produces only a rolling boil. With the lid on you'll get a vigorous boil, but you dont want to keep the lid on for boiling your wort. The 5PSI regulator and small burner dont put out enough BTUs to get a strong vigorous boil on a 100qt pot. For smaller 5 and 10 gallon batches in a 15 gallon pot this burner seems fine.

The edges are not high enough for anything with grease (Bacon, sausage) and you would not get good heat distribution between the burners. I would not recommend this for any purpose other than using it with the equipment it was designed for. Safety first.
