Now, obviously this unit does not deep fry. It's a roaster, smoker and grill. So if you have your heart set on deep frying something large, you should go and do that. Myself, I was concerned. One, because the oil needed was going to cost about $20/use, and then I have to dispose of all that oil somewhere. What a waste! Second, any splash-over could result in a major fire. I was hoping to cook the turkey on the deck, but thought that was probably a bad idea, so I'd have to go and do it on the back lawn. Depending on the weather, that might not be a lot of fun.
I bought the Big Easy, assembled it in less than an hour (directions were easy and straightforward, and it went together fine). I seasoned it. And then I tried a 7.5 lb chicken in it, just to get a sense of what it could do. Wow!! We figured it would take 10-15 minutes per pound to cook. So I put it in and checked it an hour later. The chicken was done - actually past-done - as the coldest part of the chicken was already 173 degrees. It took only 7-8 minutes per pound. Darn! But wait, it looked great!! And I used some mesquite wood chips in the smoker, and you could smell it! The result: this chicken was the moistest, tastiest, most wonderful chicken I have had in a very long time!! It was awesome!! Subtle, but not overpowering smoke. Flavorful throughout. Skin was crispy and wonderful. Even over-done, it was great!
Round two: 20 lb turkey. We put it in, and planned 2.5 hours for it to be done. It was almost done (temp 155 degrees) after an hour. I turned it down to low, and put some more wood chips in, and let it cook for another hour. It was done by hour 2, and pretty much perfect throughout. We pulled it, let it rest, and again - amazing results!! Best thanksgiving turkey we've ever had. Moist, juicy, a nice smokey flavor without being really powerful. We also took the pan drippings and made a wonderful gravy. Easy. Delicious.
The unit is pretty solid. It is simple to use. And the results are great. I can't wait to do some ribs, a ham, a roast, and even corn, in the Big Easy. If the results are anything like our two poultry items, I am so glad I went in this direction.
Again, if you want to deep fry, go ahead. Deal with the oil (cost, disposal) and the occasional call to the fire department. If you want to cook food easily and deliciously, this is a great way to do it.
We first did a dozen medium sized chicken legs using the leg racks. It took a little working with it to keep the legs from falling off the racks. The weight of the legs caused the rack to bend downward and the hanging legs slid off. A little upward bending here and there solved this problem. They took 50 minutes on the "high" setting to cook completely. They came out crispy on the outside and moist all the way through! Perfect with your choice of dipping sauce!
Next up was a 3 pound pork roast on the bottom rack with whole russet potatoes on the top racks (included with the unit) Used the high setting. Potatoes were done in 50 minutes, pork roast perfect in 1 hr 10 mins. Again crispy on the outside, moist inside.
I especially like the additional features of the smoker box and drip pan. This is not a true smoker for the purist but it's really nice to be able to add a little smoke to the items being roasted. The drip pan allows you to easily catch drippings for making gravy.
I haven't tried grilling a steak on the top rack (included) or a full chicken or turkey, but most reviews seem favorable.
With the help of only a meat thermometer, this is truly a "set it and forget it" unit that gives superior results.
Clean up is pretty easy. All the racks lift out and claim to be "dishwasher safe". The large cooking pot has a hole in the bottom where all drippings flow into a large removal drip pan. This pot is easily removed for cleaning. That's it!
This unit requires a fair amount of assembly when you receive it, but it's not rocket science. The included assembly instructions (with pictures) are easy to follow.
Char-Broil's web site also has a "community" area where you can get lots of tips and recipies.
Top reviews from other countries
Although you could try wrapping the woodchips in aluminum foil and poking a small hole at the top and putting it at the bottom of the barrel, I've done that with charcoal bbqs before but I'm not sure if it's okay to do that with the SRG.
Assembly on the other hand was such a pain in the !@#. I believe that there might of been some manufacturing defects or warping with my roaster because getting the holes to align for the parts that the SRG dials attach to was very difficult. The rails for the drip tray was also put in wrong and I had to adjust and fix it, fortunately that wasn't too difficult.
