Jeana Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) I want something that holds more than a Presto pot. Commercial wax melters seem to be over $500, and that's not in the budget right now so I'm looking for something in between Presto and commercial. What would be the next step up?

Stella1952 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 A turkey fryer or another Presto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Is there a particular brand or type that is common for wax melting? When I do a search, it seems like there are many different types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) You might run a search and find a Masterbuilt Turkey Fryer on ebay. Mine is wonderful. It melts 30 lbs of wax in less than 30 minutes and has a spout for pouring. There may be some folks who would recommend a water jacket melter but they are usually expensive. Hey thanks, I just bought a new turkey fryer at Amazon. Look up Cajun Injector Electic Turkey Fryer. There is one available for $109.00. I bought the $117.00 cause it is free shipping for me, so about same difference. There was only one left, so you better hurry and order. You will not regret it.

CandyinVA Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Make sure the turkey fryer has a spout at the bottom. I have 2 materbuilt but the new models are made different and square and do not have spouts. Look for the round ones. EBAY or Amazon is best.

beekeeper_sd Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I used two electric roasters for several years. They work pretty good and are "water jacketed". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
