Bought mine at Home Depot 10 years ago for $25 because no one was buying them. Will never cook a turkey in the oven again because this does so well. Cooked a 19 pound bird at 49 degree outside temperature with a 12 mph wind in 3 1/2 hours. Cooks ribs very well also. Happy Holidays.

First time I used mine last year was for ribs. I made pork jerky with mine. Cooked a little long.

Recently cooked while 6.5 pound chicken and it took 2 hours 45 minutes. Outside temp was 55°, wind about 10mph. Burner on high but did not put the lid on except for last 20 minutes. Cooking a 16lb turkey today and hoping no more than 4 hours.

Must have been the wind, or its not burning right, on high mine cooks small birds like that fast.

Love it, got it for $40 on OfferUp. Was used a couple times. I’ve done a whole duck and turkey but I’ve only had it a month. Both turned out excellent. I do a non sugar rub on and under the skin. No injecting. Not sure I’ll try ribs but I’m eyeballing that drumstick rack..,

@YvonneWatson-ff5ex28 күн бұрын
If you use cooking twine and truss the bird you won’t have to worry about the legs and wings touching the side of the cooker If you inject it before cooking it stays moist and has a really good flavor.

Great videos. I've cooked so many turkeys on my big easy! Lately, I've heard people mention they cook with the breast down. They say the temperature is higher on the big easy top end so they cook breast down in the lower temp and the dark meat (leg thigh quarters) in the higher temp. Have you heard about this or tried it?
@JohnVHLifeАй бұрын
Thank you, I have never tried it, I loaned the big easy out once and they did it that way, the juices didnt come out, it fill up inside and they had to finish it in the oven. I am sure its possible, but we have zero complaints doing this way, as we have for many years, I think this may be the 7th year using a big easy!

How much propane does it use? I only have 1 20lb cylinder and was wondering if I should get a second one.
@JohnVHLifeАй бұрын
One is more than enough to cook a turkey. If its full, I have not tested how long it will run on one tank.

I am having an issue with the bottom part of my Big Easy not cooking as fast as the top. Basically the top(breast) of my turkey is at 165 degrees and the lower( thighs and drum sticks) are only 150. What am I doing wrong? (The skin and flavor are excellent otherwise, but I have to over cook it. I tried breast down with better results, but no one else seems to have to do that. )
@JohnVHLifeАй бұрын
are you pre heating it? I put the turkey in there without any pre heating of the unit. I cant say that I have noticed that with mine, is the fire uniform around inside?
@DL-mn6pg27 күн бұрын
You have to crack the propane valve open slower. If you just open it up fast the it produces a shorter flame at the burner. This is a safety feature at the regulator. Remember crack open valve you get the right height of flame at the burner. Happy thanksgiving and good luck 🤞.
