We used to use the large fryer until we decided to switch to the XL several years ago and we won’t ever use anything else to Cook our turkeys. We use the large size for other things. Husband has an XL Green Egg and tried to smoke a Turkey but we still love the fryer more than anything. The outside is crisp and the inside is moist and tender every time. Husband fries a 20 lb for us and two 15 lbs for friends. DOESNT take that long to do all three birds one at a time. Thank you Masterbuilt for great long lasting quality fryer.
