Ta, that is a great find.  Bet the guy thought with the price of oil going so high it was a good time to get rid of it.

I'll help y'all out: it's a propane-heated turkey deep-fryer. It was a fad about three years ago to deep-fry turkeys instead of roasting them. South of the Mason & Dixon line, it's used as a redneck washing machine.

  i bet it will do crabs too . i am making a bottom rack so to lift the basket up off or the bottom.

There is and old post on here somewhere, with pic's, that shows how to raise the basket.. If I remember correctly, the guy drilled some holes and put SS bolts in as feet..

Use 3 or 4 ss bolts, washers and nuts.  Mount them through he bottom to make legs out of  them.  They will outlast the aluminum pot and basket.

don't even need to drill holes.  3/8" or 1/2" bolts

Try to use round-headed carriage bolts instead of hex-heads.  The hex heads will scratch the pot up pretty good.

Thanks buddie , i will.

hey tat - was that trash sitting on the guy's patio in his back yard 

nah - probably got it as a gift and really didn't want it.

I got a brand new Movado watch that way - they got it as a wedding gift and they didn't want it. brand new in the box 


PS - my HOA is having a dumpster drop off to clean up the neighborhood. and these folks around here will toss $500 tredmills etc. Guess who is going to be there with his pick up truck

I hear you , people throw out alot of good stuff. good luck with your dumpster dive , hope you find some great stuff.

throw a couple of blocks of wood in the bottom of the pot with the water. works perfect!
