    Never had deep fried turkey so I had to vote with what I know. That said, the girls stayed at school this year so our Thanksgiving is delayed until Christmas break. I took the wife to The Keg and had a steak. No matter how good deep fried tastes, it doesn’t beat a steak.

    Good steak is good. Fried turkey beats out most good steaks because fried.

    similar discussion as another thread on prime rib - I use a Char-Broil oil-less propane fryer. Char-broil calls it true infrared cooking. Turkey turn out great but the smell of a turkey roasting in the oven is missed. This year Mrs. Lebam did the turkey in the oven because I can't clean the fryer (shoulder surgery).

    This Christmas the prime rib will be done in the fryer. Pictures will be included if I don't get too drunk

    This is insane.

    Also, if I get you correctly, you ultimately want a deep fried steak...

    Mabel @LebamDawg I just don't understand the physics of the oil less fryer concept. Fried turkey is great because it's cooking in all the greasy, delicious oil. Prime rib is best done low and slow in a traditional oven for like 4 to 6 hrs at 225 and then cranked at the end. I'm not saying it can't work in your device but help me understand what's going here.

    Well @YellowSnow the unit is a cylindrical shape with a steel liner. Gap all the way around with a toric shaped propane burner unit on the bottom. Char-broil has their trademark Tru-Infrared cooking process. This puppy gets hotter than hell and the liner puts off the magical tru-infrared I assume. Cleaning is easy as per their instructions the liner gets seasoned and they don't recommend scrubbing. I only scrape out the think stuff, wipe down the liner washing just the bottom where all the good stuff gathers and drips into the grease pit.

    The prime rib (usually about 6-8 lbs) cooks evenly all around the outside and nice and juicy inside. Turkey is crisp evenly all around the bird and juicy as hell. We do brine the bird. I have done a pork loin also and it turned out great. It is easy to lift up and check the temp as it cooks. Can't stuff the bird if I remember correctly per their instructions
    here is their website and I can't find anything where they discuss how the tru-infrared works.

    I use mine all year under cover on the patio - do prime rib, turkey, chicken, pork roasts

    btw - I always did prime rib the opposite way - heat then turn it down.

    I enjoy a good steak, don't get me wrong.

    Fried turkey done right is just more tasty than "most" good steaks. Perhaps it's because I've had far less fried turkey ... But that's where I stand currently.
