From the manufacturer
The Char-Broil Big Easy Turkey Fryer, with TRU-Infrared cooking technology.
Since 1948 Char-Broil has been America’s favorite grill brand. Yet somehow, it feels like Char-Broil is still only getting started. Perhaps it’s because we know that making our products better also makes your cookouts better. And as long as that’s true, it’s all the motivation we need to continue innovating and improving what we make.
Char-Broil Big Easy Oil-less Turkey Fryer
The Char-Broil Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer is the stress-free way to fry your turkey, roast, or other cut of meat. With no hot cooking oil to purchase, splatter, or dispose of, the Char-Broil Big Easy gives you a delicious, safe, and simple alternative to frying with oil. The Big Easy utilizes Char-Broil’s TRU Infrared technology, which eliminates hot and cold spots, and delivers juicy, crisp, and flavorful results every time. The fully-enclosed 16,000 BTU propane burners sit inside of a double-wall cylindrical cooking chamber, which generates infrared heat that circles the cooker to penetrate and cook the meat evenly, sealing in juices. The result is a turkey or meat that is moist on the inside and crispy on the outside, without the hassle or added fat and calories of oil. And because your food is cooked with infrared heat, not heated oil like others, you can prepare your bird or meat with seasoned rubs or injectable marinades- both of which are not an option with traditional fryers. The Big Easy allows you to safely cook a turkey (up to 16 lbs.) or chicken in about 8 to 10 minutes per pound, or use it to prepare a variety of other items including roasts, ribs, pork tenderloin, or other large cuts of meat.

But (and I never told any of them)--it's a huge hassle and expense. Figure $40 for peanut blend oil, only to find out 3 gallons isn't quite enough, add some more $ for oil to completely cover the turkey. And the waste--yeah, I would either store it until I'm sure it was rancid and then throw it away, or would wait half the day for it to cool down enough to pour back in the box and freeze it. Did you know it takes 3 days at room temp to thaw frozen peanut oil? I do--years 13 through 20.
Year 7 it started raining. Rain and hot oil? Booya.
And it was dangerous, all that oil and open flame...actually I enjoyed the danger part.
Whatever rub you use on outside of the turkey boils off and makes it way to the bottom of the pot. Last year instead of spending a lot of time scrubbing the inch of crude off the bottom, I just threw the pot away.
Present day--found out about this Big Easy, and I'm thrilled.
Did a turkey today to make sure know what I'm doing (don't want to experiment on Thanksgiving).
This thing is idiot proof.
Every bit as delicious and crispy as deep frying. Even more so because the legs can be eaten (deep frying fried the legs and wings to nothing). And unlike deep frying, was able to capture the drippings for gravy.
Sold!

- silicone gloves for grilling
- digital meat thermometer with at least a 3' probe
- AMOZO Beer Can Chicken Roaster Stand. This keeps the turkey upright and lets it roast evenly on all sides.

I cut them off when they are done and finish the rest of the bird. Everyone raves over the flavor.
The basket that came with it can be a bit difficult to take the turkey out after cooking. I bought a collapsible basket that made it a bit easier to put the turkey in and remove after cooking, but I'm not wholly convinced if it was worth it. Neither basket is all that easy to clean by hand. I put them in the dish washer when I cleaned them, but I still scrubbed them down with a brillo pad first to remove as much of the stick on food.

**UPDATE** after discussing with others on the Big Easy FB site - recommendations are:
#1- go by internal temp of meat - NOT by any time charts (temps and wind play a huge factor in cooking)
#2 - unless there is NO breeze outside - be sure to place the BE in a sheltered area to help with cooking temps staying consistent
#3 - if cold out - this will have an affect on cooking time - use the meat thermometer only to make sure it is done
