• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Does anyone have that model ? Is the extra cost worth it to fry turkeys. Do turkeys fit in it well with the turkey basket?
 
I have a 4, 2 6's and an 8.5 but I have never tried to fry a turkey in any of them.I did not even know that they made a "Turkey" basket.I am gonna have to check that out.Thanks for the enlightenment.
 
I have a 4 gallon (18 months now ) --- I ended up buying two 12 gallon Cajun Jimmys from them for our men's club at church. ( we do fish Fries ). I have never fried a turkey in any of them, however when I ordered them I made sure to get the expanded metal grate that sits on top of the burner tube. They keep their temp awesome. One side note. I did use mine to crisp some wings I smoked. Wings were good, oil smelled bbq smokey for the next few cooks. No real boba taste to any of the fried food though.

I did start a Cajun fryer fan page on FB.
 
The 6 gallon is the smallest fryer they make that will fry a whole turkey but not over about 12-14 pounds. I have fried literally hundreds of turkeys in my 8-1/2 and 12 gallon fryers. There is no need for a basket. I use a good strong set of big tongs for turkeys. You do need the flat expanded metal to go over the burner though. I think it is about $15 or so.
