Bought this unit primarily for brewing beer; the turkey fryer parts are a bonus for me. The burner delivers a lot of heat to the pot, and there is plenty of regulation available for the burner. However, I'm disappointed in the thinness of the pot material as I hoped for a more sturdy pot. Some apparent tousling during shipment caused a significant dent in the pot, but I was able to pop it out. Bottom line, though, this is a terrific value, about 40% lower than if I had purchased all components separately.

We use this product all the time to steam shrimp and king crab legs. It's perfect for this application and extremely durable. We tried an aluminum pot, but this one if far superior and not much more expensive.

Fryer seems to work fine. However, pot arrived with a small crack near the bottom that I only noticed while trying to heat oil and watching the pot leak onto the burner!
Amazon taking over 2 months to ship new one.

Just received this product and there is a visible & tangible seam in the pot from top to bottom. I have never seen a stainless steel pot like this.

We bought two of these for a large party and have used them 3x times since. They are easy to clean and are great for frying and seafood boils!!!

I purchased this product mainly for steaming blue crabs which,throughout the summer, we trap in the river in front of our house. For years I have steamed them in a pot on the stove and the steam and odor filled the house. Using this pot outside provided a welcome relief with the added benefit of being much easier to clean than the enamel steamer I used on the stove. It is very easy to use and it is just the right size for an average haul of crabs. I have never fried a turkey but I just might try it.

best cooker I ever owned. good started items and all stainless ! good and sturdey woued by any thing they guys make.

I've cooked several turkeys in this fryer and they've all been wonderful. I took first prize at the company Turkey Cookoff last year in fact. Here's a tip though. Be careful where you use this. I had it outside once and made the mistake of using it near some pine straw. Yeah. I set the woods on fires. I was able to put it out quickly with the garden hose though. But flare ups do happen really quickly. Definitely don't use in your garage or on your wood deck, etc.

Why would you waste your money on an aluminum piece when for just a few dollars more, you can get S/S? If you are into home brewing, stainless is the ONLY way to go. Heavy duty , too!

We have had this for along time now. It works great. It hasn't rusted or needed parts or repairs. If you are thinking about getting one but are concerned about the price . . . just buy this one the better product.
