turkey fryer

Opened one of the Pale Ales that I brewed in the pot used for frying turkeys. It tasted fine to me, no off flavors that I could detect. I have used the pot twice for beer now and no longer smell the peanut oil.

I *just* bought a 28-quart electric turkey fryer at Home Depot, manager's special for $69 (regular is $99). .... I'll have to see how well it works, but it's designed to bring oil up to around 400 degrees, so it shouldn't have any problems maintainin a roiling boil for five gallons of wort!

Bird,

How did the electric fryer work to boil with? Did it get the boil going fast enough? I do not relish the idea of doing boils outside in the winter either.

Cheers,
Paul

I've got a Bayou Classic that I've had for years. I have no idea what the BTU rating is. It boils 5 gallons of water FAST, and that is at much lower setting than full blast. At full open (scary amount of flame), it sounds like a jet engine and sucks propane like crazy.
