Charbroil The Big Easy Oil-Less Outdoor Air Fryer, Black – 16,000 BTU Propane Cooker for Turkeys and Large Roasts

Charbroil The Big Easy is an oil-less outdoor air fryer and propane cooker designed to roast or crisp large cuts like a 16 lb turkey quickly, safely, and with minimal cleanup.

Built around Charbroil's patented infrared cooking system, The Big Easy delivers evenly browned exteriors and juicy interiors without the mess or hazards of hot oil. Its portable design, piezo ignition, and front-access grease tray make it practical for backyard meals, tailgating, or camping. Capable of handling turkeys, whole chickens, roasts, and pork shoulders, this propane-powered cooker aims to speed up large-piece cooking while simplifying cleanup.

How quickly will The Big Easy cook a large turkey?

The infrared burner concentrates intense heat directly on the meat surface, cutting cook times compared with many conventional ovens. Exact times depend on weight and starting temperature, but a typical 16-pound turkey takes significantly less time than oven roasting while producing a crisp outside.

• High-output 16,000 BTU infrared burner for concentrated heat
• Patented system promotes even browning without flare-ups
• Cook large cuts faster than many household ovens

What makes The Big Easy safer than traditional deep frying?

The Big Easy eliminates hot oil by using infrared heat, removing the risk of oil splatter and difficult oil disposal. That means fewer burn hazards, lower operating costs from skipped cooking oil, and a simpler, less-smoky cooking experience outdoors.

• No oil required—reduces burn risk and cleanup
• Infrared heat prevents flare-ups for more controlled cooking
• Front-access grease tray captures drippings for easy removal

How portable and user-friendly is it for outdoor activities?

Lightweight handles and a compact footprint make The Big Easy easy to move to a backyard table, campsite, or tailgate. The integrated piezo ignition starts the unit with a twist—no separate lighter needed—so it's ready to run when you are.

• Integrated handles for lifting and transport
• Piezo ignition for quick starts with the turn of a knob
• Powered by a standard liquid propane tank for easy refills

How simple is cleaning and maintenance?

Because there’s no oil bath, cleanup is straightforward: remove the front grease tray and dispose of collected drippings. The cooker’s surfaces are accessible for wiping, and its straightforward design reduces time spent on maintenance after cooking.

• Front-access grease tray collects juices for easy removal
• No oil to filter, strain, or dispose of after use
• Accessible interior surfaces for quick wiping and rinsing

Who is this for? The Big Easy is well suited to someone who wants the flavor and texture of roasted or fried large cuts without handling hot oil—home cooks hosting family meals, tailgaters who need portable high heat, and campers wanting a robust propane cooker. It fits households that prepare whole birds, roasts, or large shoulders and value faster cook times, straightforward cleanup, and a safer outdoor cooking option.
