Oil less fryers

[Ol' Smokey]

I have one of these...

It works very well on turkeys and chickens.

I was wondering if anyone has ever put a smoker box in one while cooking a turkey.

I might try it, but dont want to experiment on Thanksgiving day.

I have that one and always loved the results. Since they are open for air flow I wouldn't think smoke would stay at all.

They ARE a true hands off cook to a perfect bird without doubt. I seem to remember them being pretty quick as well.

Ya, im thinking they run so hot, the chips or pellets would just burn. Im going to give it a go on a chicken after the holidays.

I agree, they cook a bird quite well. I love the thing. Was just thinking outside the box....we shall see

I used to have one that came with a smoker box. I would put would chips in it. I believe it was Butterball brand. Worked good when I had it for chickens and turkeys.

Outside the box was where I went with mine but never fully sorted out a slower cook.

I took stainless steel wire about 1/8" Dia. (Tig welding rod) and cut it just smaller than the Dia of the inside. It was longer than the basket so it would sit on the basket. I skewered half a brisket and hung it inside.

I got a very tasty cook but was not slow enough to get fall apart tender although I had a lot of temp dial to back down into for a longer cook.

I haven't persued this since I have a smoker now but I think it could be made to work.
