Turkey Fryer Question

I'm looking to get me a turkey fryer. This looks like a good deal:

Does anyone have this? My concern is that if I choose to get a bigger kettle in the future, it won't fit on the burner. Thoughts?

 

thats exactly what I am using. Started out using it on the stand then built my brewing system. I now have 2 of them and they heat up my 15.5 gallon keggles just fine

 

Sweet, thanks. $60 seems like a great deal, they are selling for at least $90 on Amazon

 

My fryer is an older model but the pot looks just like that. It works fine for me and I do all grain with batch sparges. I am going to get a larger pot soon though. I should work just fine.

I recommend that you clean first, the pots can have an oil on them. Soap and water and rinse extremely well.

 

Surprisingly, a keggle with about 12G or 13G of wort boiled for us just as fast as with the 7G aluminum turkey fryer pot. The kettle does fit perfectly over the top of it though... it's amazing. Best $55 spent ever.

 

Hmmm wouldnt it be a better choice to get the King Kooker from Midwest? It's the same price, holds and size pot, and instead of 40,000btus it puts out 110,000btu max. This was the fryer I had in mind. $55

The Home Depot one comes with a 30 qt. pot.

However, this burner doesn't include a boiling pot.

 

Any idea whether the Home Depot pot is aluminum or not?

 

I would assume it's aluminum. If it were SS it would be the best deal ever.

 

while we are still on the topic, is this any good?

looking at it cause it can be shipped for another $50 overseas, oddly enough, making it cheaper than buying locally and comes with hose and reductor as far as I can see.

 

I have this one which looks really similar and it works great for my all grain batches. I am only doing 5 gallon batches. I use an 8 gallon pot and I start the boil with about 7 gallons in it. I get to a boil within 10- 15 tops and it stays at a nice steady roll for the duration of my boil.

The only problem is that you need to let it burn off the paint before you use it. It didn't taint my beer but as the paint burns off, it smells bad. I suspect that one is probably the same. a good hour or 2 would really do the trick.

 

I couldn't find that information on the page.

 

thank you!
