I have a single tier but had a blichmann floor burner in the past....thinking about buying another just for cooking. Is that overkill?
who uses a blichmann to deep fry turkeys?

No. Buy what you want. It's your money.

Build a smoker instead, far better results than a fryer and more versatile.

Big Green Egg or a nice name brand smoker or a home built smoker or a Big Easy.

Im thinking once you use it for that its toast for every making beer in again. Buy a cheaper pot for cooking.

Think he's talking about the burner, not the pot, but regardless, I don't think frying a turkey would hurt a stainless pot.
Or at least I hope not.

The "Blichmann" burner is just a banjo burner in a fancier frame than the Bayou Classic offerings, which are the same burner casting. I've been using them for years to not only brew beer, but do all kinds of cooking. If you want an extra burner you can't go wrong with the KAB6 from Bayou, or the Blichmann.
The good thing is that the banjo style burners have a nice low simmer when needed, and they are quiet.

Maybe its just close to thanks giving but I was thinking oil and a turkey. If did oil and fish one time in a pot and never could really get the smell out.

Just my .02 but a green egg is a joke...no cooking surface and overpriced! I own a Southern Pride and a BQ Grill....the first is for quantity....the BQ is for quality! Check them out

I have a completely separate burner and pot for turkey frying.
