Char-Broil

The Big Easy Outdoor Air Fryer

Char-Broil's signature oil-less propane air fryer/roaster, able to cook a whole turkey up to 16 lb using infrared heat instead of oil.

$150Approx. MSRP

Great for someone who wants a safer, oil-free way to "fry" a whole turkey or chicken, but not a substitute for a real smoker if low-and-slow barbecue is the goal.

Pros

  • Produces genuinely juicy results without needing a vat of hot oil, popular for holiday turkeys
  • Simple to use compared to traditional deep frying
  • Gets a crispy exterior on food effectively
  • Easy on the wallet ($150)
  • Light enough to move or store

Watch-outs

  • Heavy and has no wheels, so it's awkward to move or store
  • Uses more propane than some owners expect for the cooking time
  • Doesn't reach the same nooks-and-crannies crispness as true oil frying
  • No side burner for sauces/sides

Known niggles

  • Stock thermometer reported breaking as early as the second use
  • Lowest available temperature setting still runs about 25°F hotter than ideal for true low-and-slow smoking
  • Interior chamber discolors and stains quickly from heat
