Turkey fryer setup on sale from HH

Looks like an alright deal to me, 30 quart post with a spigot, propane burner doing 38,000 BTUs for $80.

Just be sure that that safety timer can be overridden, otherwise you will have to stand by the pot and turn it on again every 5 minutes or so.

A quick Google of the model number indicates that you can indeed bypass the timer.
"Side note - easy way to bypass the stupid safety timer is posted on youtube and other places online. Well worth your while to do this before you even finish putting it together. It's as simple as connecting two wires and is very straightforward. Trust me, bypass it right out of the box and don't look back." http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-S ... /10211714/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I've been looking at these for a while, looking to make the jump to full volume boil and 5 gal BIAB in the future. Do you guys think this set up would work for a while for me?

It will definitely by too tight. Started with a 30 qt pot as my boil kettle and I had to watch it like a hawk. Even still, boil overs were common. If you are planning on BIAB mashing in this it is way too small.

38,000 ain't a lot of but's either.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
