Has anyone used the turkey fryer kits for boiling?

Me Three, or is that ditto squared? For extract and partial mashes the infamous turkey fryers work just great.

I do AG and I use a turkey fryer. However, I actually use the pot that came with it and do it inside on my stove usually. I like brewing in my kitchen.

But, I have a major stove that kicks butt. Most people can't boil 7 gallons on their kitchen stove. If I want to brew outside, I use the turkey fryer.

Another vote. The burner is good/great, my only complaint is that the 30qt pot is a little small. But if you watch it fairly closely you can avoid boilovers.

Nearly everone uses the burner, some even use the pot.

I use my Bayou Classic Turkey Fryer. I've done extract brews in it and I'm ready to begin AG batches (everything willing, this weekend) with it.

I can say this, versus a stainless steel pot on my kitchen stove it kicks butt. However, it's only slightly faster doing a full boil than doing a partial boil on my stove. If you're still trying to figure out if homebrewing is for you, grab a turkey fryer! You'll love it!

If you already KNOW howmebrewing is for you (I knew after batch three and 20 gallons of apfelwein I was going all the way) then spend some money in a high powered burner and a nice LARGE kettle (aluminum is fine!) because the speed and efficiency will pay for itself after a few batches.

Good luck! In the end the brewer, not the equipment, determine how good a beer is.
