Bayou Classic 3066A Outdoor Turkey Fryer:  What the Reviews Say…

The Bayou Classic Fryer Kit seems to be a great option for home brewers and turkey fryers alike.  It makes for the perfect beginner’s beer brewing kit or an easy solution for those who want to enjoy fried turkey at home.  One of the reasons it works so well for both of these uses is because of how hot it gets.  High temperatures are needed for both of these two uses.

Several users commented on the paint on the outside of the fryer actually coming off during the first use, and one review said that it actually burned off, although it did not cause a huge fire.  A large number of those who reviewed this product favorably recommend burning the paint off before the first actual use.

Most people who reviewed this fryer kit gave it either four or five stars, although there were a handful of people who ranked with 3, 2, or 1 stars.   It is certainly quite interesting that so many people have taken to using this particular turkey fryer kit for brewing beer.  In fact, it seems like the beer brewers were even happier with the product than the turkey fryers were, although it should be noted that most turkey fryers also gave the product four or five stars.

Most people agree with this list of benefits:

  • Great for brewing homemade beer
  • Provides everything you need to fry a turkey in a single kit
  • Cooks the turkey quickly
  • Easy to set up and use
  • Heats up very hot

By far the number one issue had to do with the paint on the outside of the product, and most people didn’t seem to mind that it came off.  In fact, they felt that the product was much safer if you took the time to burn the paint off before the first use.  In general, this does sound like it would be a great product for both brewmasters and chefs.
