I was super happy with this the final product.  After a few hours I had a 16 pound turkey sitting on the table that my family loved.  I've tasted fried turkeys before and this is just as good and with a fraction of the labor and mess.  I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because I thought putting the assembly was more of a headache than I thought it should. The machining on some of the parts was not well done so I struggled to put it together. Other than that I'm looking forward to my next meal!
