 great productJan 02, 2008
the picture and specifics such as the height and color was very useful, it came fully assemsbled and ready for use.
This is a nice burner.Dec 14, 2007
Nice burner for the price you pay. Plus you get free shipping from Amazon. It doesn't get any better. The product seems to be very durable. Don't listen to others say that the welds are cheap. I used to weld, and these are nice welds on the legs and surface.

 Bad Design or Did I Just Get a Lemon?Oct 01, 2007
I've owned other turkey fryers, and just received this one from Amazon. (Superb shipping and order handling, as always!) Two big problems with this unit -- bad design, or did I just get a lemon?
1. The knob you turn to increase and decrease the gas is BACKWARDS! Nope, I'm not losing my marbles -- on this one you turn the knob clockwise to INCREASE the amount of gas (and the height of the flame!) This is the exact opposite of any other knob you've ever used (such as a sink or spigot or other propane appliance). Who cares? Well, if you have a grease fire and rush to turn the fire off, you're probably going to give that knob a big yank in the wrong direction (based on every other knob you've ever used), thereby making the flame BIGGER, not smaller.
2. These fryers usually come with a simple air control valve -- it lets you adjust how much air mixes with the gas. This helps you make the flame a nice blue color (good) instead of mostly yellow (bad). On other units I've owned this is basic and easy to use. On this model the valve is very flimsy, and you seem to have a choice of setting the knob from Wide Open to Wide Open! (It never really closes much!) I was unable to set the flame to the right consistency, which is necessary for proper cooking.
I called the manufacturer's toll-free number to get help with both of these items and they didn't seem all that interested -- all they could recommend is that I return it to Amazon (and that's exactly what I'm doing!)
I DO recommend buying a turkey fryer -- it's a lot of fun if the usual safety steps are followed -- but I do NOT recommend that you buy this one!

Meets expectationsJul 12, 2007
I bought this gas cooker for those times when I need to use large pots or cook smelly fried foods. It is everything I was hoping for. The construction is tough and durable, and it will probably outlast me! The shipping was fast and free, it arrived in about 4 days only.

Typical Chinese qualityApr 24, 2007
This cooker is a typical example for Chinese made junk and lacking a final check by the originator. I'm a professionals myself and I learned in Germany, so I know what quality should be. I've been back in the States for about a half a year and what I've seen here so far is really amazing and at the same time scary. Just the fact that (and I'M guessing) over 90% of our products are made in China is unbelievable and of course some of the quality is accordingly.
This cooker has to be one of the worst qualities of craftsmanship I've ever seen, a novice handyman could get it done better. The sheet metal is not cut straight and therefor the joint fitting is way off which in turn lets two pointed edges protrude. The painting is of primitive quality, and therefor rust in all corners. The cast iron burner is of primitive quality similar to the beginning of this technology. The gas connector will screw into the burner but not leak proof because of the miserable casting, the threading wall is so thin that you have to be scared it will crack open.
To top it off the product isn't packaged correctly. The first shipment didn't make it to my front door because the box and it's contents fell apart in the hands of UPS as soon as he got out of his truck, of course no fault of UPS. The second shipment was more luck than intelligent, the cooker was not damaged but fallen apart where possible because of lousy packaging.
Does the cooker work ? Yes, after making necessary modifications.
Why can't Americans start making their products themselves again, with pride and then maybe automatically a better final check ? It can't be because of wages being to high because minimum wages in the States are about the same level as in "Eastern" Europe.
