    I have had one of these for probably around 8 years now as I found a new one for under $100. If you go into it knowing it is not truly a fryer, it is more than worth the money. Not many cookers where you can get instant radiant heat all around your meat of choice. This thing does a great (and fast) job on whole chickens, wings, roasts, etc. it comes in very handy and is an excellent way to put a crust on some ham or re-establish bark in minutes.

    edit: I have never and will never do a turkey in it. Spatchcocked and smoked is the way to go. Though I have often crisped up chicken in it.

    My wife bought one of those ornamental fireplaces with the blue glass rocks for the lake. It runs on propane maybe I should replace it with the Easy Fryer instead!

    Infrared roasting is not frying.

    The Big Easy will set the sweet crust on a double smoked spiral cut ham in about 10 minutes. It is an awesome outdoor cooking appliance. Especially at the price point.

    Until I gave it away recently, we had the Big Easy smoker, roaster, grill... same as this thing but a bit bigger and you could add wood chips.

    Anyway, it works great. Sadly the basket is a bit cheap. I contemplated just using a turkey hanger instead, but then had a friend needing a cooker so I gave it to him in exchange for some beer. (home made stuff, it wasn't like going to the pawn shop for bud light)

    Great idea.
    One of the reasons I don't deep fry turkey, the oil throws my stomach for a loop, and people have burned down two houses around me in the past few years using fryers in the garage . Our houses are so closed together it wouldn't take much to take down a neighbor or two.
    Walking the dog two weeks ago someone had a real good blaze going in his garage, he managed to snuff it out but it sure looked like it was real close to going the other way.

The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
