I bought this fryer about 3 years ago and have experimented lamb, roast, ribs, chicken, turkey, ham, pork shoulder, chicken drums, etc., etc... It cooks very fast and does not dry the meat. The only thing Char Broil can do to improve this super cooker is to improve the material used on the drum to increase its resistance to rust. I keep my fryer covered all the time when not using it, and the rust has been inevitable. Other than the rust, all works well and have been happy with it - for that reason only I scored it 4 stars. If the drum is improved in the future, I will rate it 6 stars. LOL
