I’m doing a price check.

45 bones for three gallons at academy.

Any better deals out there.

Following this!

Big Easy

Sam's Club has 4.5 gal.(35lbs) for $62.

I second that motion.
Only way to cook a turkey.

Yep, for sure. Just got back from Academy. They’ve got plenty of them. Right up front, where you walk in the door.

I have both.

You can’t outdo fried.

It’s probably been five years since I fried one. Been using the big easy but I’m frying one this year.

I quit frying turkeys when CharBroil brought out the Big Easy. I always hated dealing with the oil and the risk it presents. Plus, the cleanup and disposal is a PITA. An the price of that turkey goes up a bunch when the oil is factored in. The BE uses just a bit of propane.

I used CharBroil Big Easy last year primarily due to the cost of the oil. Will never go back to fried. Cheaper to use, easier cleanup and does a very good job cooking turkey. Never used it for anything else.

All true…..

Actually it will come down to game day conditions as to witch way I go.

Big easy is great for that last minute backup plan.

Overnite brine and big easy the next day has always wowed them

My wife is from LA. It’s how they cook them. Over the years, I’ve had fried turkey 3 times. I did not like the taste, all three times. Cook it any way you want. No fried for me. YMMV

Old fashioned vegetable oil is cheaper and taste better IMO

What do you brine your turkey with?

Allen: The last one I used came from amazon, Oxley Gourmet Turkey Brine, previously I have used different ones from amazon.
