Well, we got our order of Big Easy's in so of course I am getting one for myself :)
I plan on trying it out this weekend. Does anyone have any tips for using this thing? Oldman gave me probably the most important one. Don't stick your arm into the fryer if it is on to check the meat temp. Be sure to use the hook and pull the food out or you will lose some arm hairs!
Has anyone tried doing wings in their Big Easy yet? I don't remember seeing a post with wings.

Bryan,
There are a couple posts with wings. I'll see if I can find.
I have only used mine a couple of times and have not mastered yet. Haven't lost any arm hair but I do Know that it is hot in there ;D , I too advise pulling out the basket before using the thermapen.
Deb
Bryan,
Here are some threads that come up in a quick search, I think the first one has wings

Hi Bryan
Here are some pics of the ones I've done. This was my first batch. I done them a number of times now. I usually give them a light dusting of corn starch now which makes them unbelievably crispy.

Hey Bryan,
When doing forum searches, don't forget to go to the home page or your search will only look inside the thread you currently have open.
Brian, don't forget to season it first before the first cook. I have hinged basket they offer and it works well. Makes whole birds easier to handle. Well worth the extra 20 for me.
I smoked chicken quarters for 2 1/2 hours and than in the big easy to crisp up the skin for 20 minutes and they were great.
The BE really is a nice addition to smoking Savannah! ;)
I use mine a lot... I'm kinda a "wing" nut! :D
Mike
Well put up some more of your wing recipes for us Mr Walleye.
Hey Bryan,
I've done some wing parts - drummets - and oh yeah - it's turkey but still great results
