Would this be suitable for boiling maple sap in a turkey fryer?

I don't think so. Took a long time to just cook a hamburger on a small cast iron pan. Seems you really have to watch this thing, not just stick the wood in, let it burn and walk away. It wasn't what I had expected for emergency use at home for boiling large kettle of water, that's for sure. Watch the Youtube video with cooking eggs and spam.

No requires constant attention and would require a truckload of small sticks to accomplish such a task

Just my opinion. I would not attempt it. It says in the description "fry" but it lacks a temp shut off (at least my model does) that would prevent overheating the oil. The "fry" basket and pot are shallow, about 1/4 the size needed for a turkey. If you look at a decent turkey fryer, there seems to be more guarding around the burner and the hose to the propane tank appears longer. Nope, not me. Maybe shrimp, fish or fries, but not a turkey. Be safe. Please, buy a recent unit with updated safety features that is designed for frying a turkey. Good luck. BTW, this is a heck of a nice GRILL. Just my opinion. I would not attempt it.

It can be used with any heat source. The neat thing about the kettle is that you won't need liquid fuel if you can find leaves, wood pine cones, paper, etc... If you are above the vegitation line then alcholhol burner may make sense

I bought this thermoter, but i had user yet. But in the strunction you need a mininum of liquid (2" ) to work with accurracy. For deep fry is a not a problem but for syrup, is a real problem.

I'm sorry, I don't use it to make syrup, so I can't help you there. I use it in my oatmeal & love the true maple flavor. I think it is a very good extract.

Yes. Think of it as just a huge stock pot on top of a flame. I've used it for turkeys, low country boils, Brunswick stew....

It depends on what size of item or itemsYou're frying. Your best bet is to fill it withWater to judge the amt of oil you need toUse

I wouldn't recommend it. Any liquid that's thicker than syrup, for example, would probably pour very slowly or not at all, especially with small bits of garlic.

Yes. Definitely. It's good for cooking, it's not my favorite for frying food, it's slow and not hot enough.

I actually bought it for brewing beer. It is taller and narrower (about 16" tall x 13.5 dia.) than most 9 gallon pots. This is good for me because it fits on my stove top. Obviously, that's not a factor in frying a turkey. It's good quality and has been great for me so far. It would probably fit a medium sized turkey. You might want a shorter, fatter one (maybe 15" dia.) for a big turkey.

Maybe, but I'm not sure how safe that would be. If the oil was only 1/2" deep it might be okay. The temperature should go high enough, but it is not designed for it. I would look at a dedicated deepfryer instead.

The basket does not sit directly on the bottom, but it's not too far from it either. We've used it for frying a turkey, but we're looking forward to using it for crab/shrimp boils this summer. I would say you could steam in it, too, if you wanted to, but you'd have to refill with water fairly often I think.

yes, it is designed as a turkey fryer and should have no problems for deep frying. The valve on the bottom is nice for draining oil

You could use it for if you DO NOT leave any sap in the pump overnight to freeze ! Drain the pump, might even suggest to rinse it since the sap can also harden to sugar. Good luck.

It takes more maple sap to produce grade B than grade A. I think it has more flavor and use in making granola etc. I mix a little with cheaper syrup for pancakes.

Likely. I deep fry and reuse filtered oil. Larger top prevents spills. Tube easily fits in 1 gallon vegetable oil containers.

I really don't know. I would look up a turkey fryer and compare the pot dimensions. It certainly is heavy enough.
