First Look: Char-Broil's The Big Easy 2 in 1 Electric Smoker & Roaster

The other day a package arrived at the door. I opened it to find the new electric version of Char-Broil's Big Easy cooker. When the original propane version of this unit hit the market four years ago it was called an "oil-less turkey fryer". Since then fans of this infrared cooker have imagined so many more things it can do. Now, Char-Broil has introduced an electric version of the Big Easy which promises even more versatility with better temperature control.

This is basically an infrared metal bucket. Food is lowered inside where infrared heat cooks it. The promise is even heating and an easy and quick way to cook those foods that are more difficult on a standard grill, like whole chickens, turkeys, or roasts. In the next few days I will be putting it through its paces to see how it compares to the propane powered version and how it works as a backyard cooker. Check back to see if this is the better way to prepare your turkey this all.
