Oil less turkey fryer

[kodis556]

Yep yep. Thaw, brine, dry, cook via oven, smoker or grill. Not really a need to dry in fridge if frying it. Mine's going in a sweet tea brine at 3pm today, out at 9am tomorrow morning, in fridge with a couple more flavor tricks and uncovered for 24 hours. Then it hits the pecan smoke at 325° at 9am Thursday.

I'm doing a duck again. I give it a good 24 hours (or more) uncovered in the fridge. Then only S&P and a 3 hour oven roast flipping it 3 times. Should get a mason jar full of fat in the pan. Duck is so delicious, it really doesn't need much else. Crispy duck skin is some good stuff...

I have been using one of these for the past few years. I generally coat the turkey in oil and just rub seasoning under the skin and outside the skin. I put it in and cook and the last little while I put the top on to crisp it up. I think this year Im going to brine using "Brine some turkey".

I usually deep fry turkeys but man oil has gotten expensive. By time I bought enough oil to cook the three birds in it was cheaper to buy the big easy charbroil.

Stuff butter, sage, and rosemary under the skin as well.

Better get to brining. I've found that a 72 hour brine is best.

Get one of these stands and it'll hold the turkey more upright and cooks more evenly. Plus you can put some beer or brine in it while cooking.

I had the same idea, skip the basket and use a traditional stand like when oil frying

Yeah I wont use mine for anything but poultry.

JSoko How big are your flames in there? I can not get mine to light using the igniter, I have to use a lighter every time and my flames are 3/8-1/2" long. I did fire it up Sunday morning and put my thermometer in the center of thew cook chamber and it got up to 450-460 degrees.

mine takes several attempts to light, I now keep the cooking chamber out so I can see the flames
Flames are same size 3/8" - 1/2"
it does get damn hot

I searched about cooking the ribs, your supposed to hang them from the side on the basket
I rigged a rod across the center to hang them in the center , one source said NO keep them out of the Center Vortex as it is not as hot
also wasn't sure how to hang them, boneside in or out so I alternated, they sure were crispy, if I had gone longer I would have had pork rinds

Okay great! At first I thought it was faulty but I guess it’s super effecient
