I have got a turkey fryer, aluminum pot and burner, that have been used to fry turkeys in the past.
I have used these to boil rinse water in the past, but I am wondering what people's experience has been doing wort boils in used turkey fryer pots. I am concerned that the pores of the metal might still harbor grease, and would release small amounts into my beer.
I have had bad experiences trying to reuse a coffee cup after it was used for storing bacon grease. Even after multiple rinses with boiling water, it would still leave an oil slick on top of the coffee.
PS: a search located a thread on this about stainless pots, but nothing on aluminum.
