Anyone use the Charbroil Big Easy Oil-Less Fryer for their holiday turkeys?

I've been looking into these lately and it seems really easy and all of the reviews are positive. Is there any reason why I shouldn't get one?

Got one last year and it works great.

My dad has one. It works well, but not as good as fried, IMO.
One thing I was amazed by was how much heat that expanded metal lid reflects back into the pot.

Yes - they turned out great. I have the 3-n-1 Big Easy actually but the fryer chamber is the same as the one you mentioned. Was able to find mine at Target for $100 on sale too.

Buy one and the accessories rack and dont look back. I brine my turkey and it comes out great. You can also do

I've had one for several years and for a hundred bucks it's worth it. We normally stay at friends house in Watercolor for Thanksgiving and have a large dinner so I just put it on the front porch and let it cook since the ovens are used for something else.
I find it cooks faster than in the oven.

I just picked one up at lunch to do turkeys this weekend for Ole Miss. Any tips I should know about?

It's nothing like a fried turkey. It's almost on par with a good rotisserie. Probably like it a bit better than oven turkeys.

How did you cook it? Did you inject it? Rub down with peanut oil? Just trying to get an idea of what to do. I'm totally flying blind this weekend.

A few different ways. Injected, brined, rubbed and not rubbed. Just do it the way you like it, should turn out fine. I personally didn't find a big difference between rubbing down with oil and not rubbing it down. I like injected a bit better.

I've owned a Big Easy SRG 3-in-1 for four years and I don't believe there's an easier way to "fry" a turkey. Mine holds up to a 25 pound bird. I leave the lid on for the first 30 minutes then off the rest of the cook time. If I recall correctly, cooking 10 minutes per pound is the ticket.

This.
BUT, drop a prime rib in that bad boy and look out!
