Got the fryer today. Looks great! Packaged well, no damage, pot and burner look well made and sturdy. I haven't actually set it up or used it yet, but things are looking pretty good so far. Not bad for $30.00

Anyone thinking of *maybe* going all grain in the future should consider buying this. You won't find it cheaper anywhere else, guaranteed.

amen, I received mine yesterday and set it up within half an hour. Doesn't look sturdy but I filled up the whole put with water and put it on.. held up pretty damn well! :D
 
So about how long doest this thing take to boil 5 gallons, or does anyone know how many BTUs the burner is.
 
Took me 23 minutes to bring about 7 gallons to a boil on about a full turn open. This thing is sweet.
 
I still think for the next couple batches I'll be doing partial boils, just for the ease and quickness of cooling. If I eventually get/make a chiller then maybe I'll do a full boil but since I don't care about the color of the beer and have started to do late extract addition, I don't see a benefit.

EDIT: Price drop yet again. Now down to $30.72!
 
Wow, I can't believe they are even making any money on this. Goes to show you the mark up on things that we buy.
 
At $29 is there a better burner for eventual keggle use? I wasn't planning on doing any more beer purchases, but I might not be able to pass this one up.
 
in 4 one. this will be the first of many pieces for the start of home brewing
 
price went up big time. I was just about to order one this morning and looked at the price. $77.93 WTF!!! oh well...
 
Can anyone post how exactly they got the refund from Amazon. I didn't see a link in my shipping email or an easy way on their site that will go to the proper place?

Thanks.

Dang looks like I missed out on the pricematch.... oh well, glad everyone that got in before the price jump.

EDIT: Updated the original post marking as dead.
 
"Only 1 left in stock--order soon."

Probably trying to get one last buy to make up for all the deals and refunds lol!
Fun while it lasted and I did get my second/last refund since I emailed yesterday before the jump!

"Since your purchase shipped within the past 30 days, I've requested a refund of $1.54 to your credit card. "

:rockin:
 
Got it in one hour ago......already assembled No dents thank goodness


tomorrow gonna test for leaks and boil some water to put the oxide layer on.....thx again for posting this sweet deal :mug:
 
Got mine in yesterday. Thank you for posting this deal. Its already dropped back down from 77 to 69, so it may go back down. If Amazon is smart then they are adjusting price based on inventory / sales. No doubt our surge in purchases affected the price jump, lol.
 
Holy crap, glad I got in on this deal while I did! I even emailed and got 1.60$ refund when the price went from 32 to 30 :p

I got it a few days ago, looks good. I haven't had a chance to put it together yet, but I am excited. I think I will end up wanting to get a stainless steel pot though. At first I figured I didn't care about aluminum, but this pot seems to have a rough finish on it, I'd feel better about it if it were smooth I think.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll be using the aluminum for a while :p
 
Thought about it too long...missed the good deal...Went to Wal Mart, Paid $60 and got one that said it came with a side shelf, but none in the box. Also the pot is so chincy, I'm worried that it won't actually hold 7 gallons without blowing a side out. Seriously...I could crush this pot to a pancake with my hands.

Guess I have a POS Burner for $60 when I build my sculpture..:eek:
 
I bet it goes back down. It already has gone down a few bucks. I would keep an eye on this. It makes sense. They pay $25 (for example) they sell it for $72 and slowly drop the price to get more people to buy. Then when they are still selling it for money they jack the price. They build up a good rep with cheap cost and then get people to buy at $70 because they know the product is good, but just missed the great deal.

Edit: Oops, missed Farmers post. /idiot
