I was one of the lucky folks to get one of the new Big Easy’s from Char Broil. Just arrived today and pulled it out of the box. Now, I’ve not used it yet or read the materials, which are sitting right here. The proof will be in the final product. We’ll get a turkey ready to cook on Saturday.
Though I think this could be an easy and safe way to cook a turkey, there seems to be a bit of marketing hype here, too. I wouldn’t call it a fryer. At first glance, it seems to be a gas oven. The heat source is a propane burner ring that wraps 360 degrees around the bottom of the unit. I’m not sure where the term “infrared” comes from. The turkey sits inside of an aluminum bucket, so to speak. The burner heats the bucket from the perimeter of the base. This is purely an indirect cooking method. The unit has an igniter on board as well as a thermostat of sorts.
The unit really has me curious. Will post results on Saturday along with other detailed pictures.

Dude!
Why do you have to wait until Saturday? Saturday is too late. I’ve got one to do tomorrow and another Thurday. Thanksgiving! DUH!
Thanks All the Same,
