Home Depot is currently offering the whole she-bang for $59. It comes with 
the propane burner (I think it said 130,000 btu--wow), the big stainless 
steel pot (and it is a heavy sucker, not like the aluminum pot I first tried 
this in. What a mess), the rack for the turkey to be lowered in, and the 
strainer. All you would need is a propane tank. I understand it cooks the 
whole turkey in 3 minutes. Takes 3 gallons of oil.

You could always use the pot for other things (lots of chili comes to mind), 
and I suppose the burner for something, too. So, wouldn't be a waste if you 
decided that cooking turkey this way is not for you.

My only question is: What do you do with 3 gallons of oil after?
