ELECTRIC turkey fryer

[HiT5500]

Hey I just thought I'd share this, since I haven't seen it anywhere else. Home depot has a 28 quart, electric turkey fryer. The best part is that it has a temperature setting from 80-400some(F). It's great and it has 3 holes already in the glass top for putting a copper pipe over, and sealing the others.

I didn't see it anywhere on thier website. I saw all of the propane ones that they have...and I saw this electric smoker... but that was it.

there you go!

it's that but all chrome and only $80.

BTW I just tasted my sugar, water, and bakers yeast mash, and it tastes a LOT like budweiser. Actually its fairly good. I used a strain from red star, I think I had 4.52kg of sugar, 55g of yeast and water in a 5 gallon fermenter.

Also at home depot they have these amazing plastic kerosene tubs. They look like kegs and are blue with a screw top and a handle. 5 gallons and are GREAT fermenting bins.

Wow,,that is a nice lookin fryer, and definitly would make a decent boiler. 55gr of yeast?? That is a lot for a 5 gallon batch, I usually use about 21gr of red star. That is why I hate budweiser....it taste like a fermenting sugar wash .lol

The electruc fryers have a loose heating element that hooks over the edge of the pot. Making one of these things vapor tight would be very nearly unmanagable.

No you just get some of the stuff called "Great stuff" It's airtight foam that you just spray on

nahh... cmon, that one was a joke.

had to be.

[Tater]

looks like the fish are biteing. lol

[HiT5500]

Yeah sorry the joke wasn't worded better, I just had surgury and was very tired. But yeah it was just that, a joke. Anyways my friend nows a lot about sealant. And the good part is the metal ring around the top goes inside the can, so just put a little plastic o-ring like thing around it and it'll seal.

An easy way to check for leaks is to get it to boiling temperature and check all of the seals with a BIC lighter. On second thought, maybe that's not a very good idea.

I've seen it done.
as far as I can tell it can't actually blow up the still to light up a vapor leak.. but since alcohol flame is invisible in sunlight and a serious leak can blow a six foot jet of burning vapor off to the side of your still... it can result in an explosion by setting fire to everything around the still.

the guys who I sat in with who checked for leaks with a burning stick insisted that a flaming leak was actually less dangerous than an unlit leak since an ongoing leak vents potentially explosive quantities of vapor into the air while a flame consumes the fuel as it escapes.

it made logical sense but it still made me nervous.

their process in any case was to go over the running rig with a fire to find leaks and then slap a big gob of flour paste on any jets they lit up.

needless to say they did not run in the sunshine.
