Emerald 360 air fryer

Thank you sir, you too.

On a different note, when I was in Wichita over the weekend we went to a specialty spice shop that I absolutely love!! Saw a few things that just screamed STEVE NEEDS THIS!! I picked up a few things and they went out in the mail this morning heading your way. USPS says it'll be there Friday. Be afraid...be very afraid my friend

Robert

Oh boy....! You didn't have to do that. But I have a feeling I'm going to like this! Thanks again my friend!

I know I didn't have to but I kinda wanted to. Even Tracy was seeing stuff and saying "I bet Steve would like this also". It'll be some really fun stuff for you to play with, especially if you're looking to amp up the heat in some of your brines

we have had a show time for 15 years. I bought it in the middle of the night during a bout of insomnia. DW was pissed at first. Then, after a few birds, she gave me her blessing ;~). Favorites are boneless leg of lamb and 3-4lb chickens. I do spatchcoack chickens on my traeger but DW prefers the the showtime chickens. 1.25-1.5 hrs for a chicken. Nice thing about the showtime is I can cook the lamb outdoors to prevent the greasy smell from over whelming the house.

I loved my Showtime for years!
Then I noticed the cord started getting really hot, so I stopped using it.
I never got around to getting a bigger cord for it. Would you believe that used to be where I used to make my Best Prime Ribs, until I started my Method of Smoking them, about 30 Prime Ribs, and 8 years ago.

You didn't happen to run into Wyatt while you were in Wichita??

I got the standard size.

I got the Standard size too, because I don't trust my Kitchen circuit to handle anything bigger than 1500Watts.
Actually I wish I had about 4 separate circuits in my kitchen, so I could use more than one of my New Toys at once. Last night I used my Smokeless indoor grill, and Mrs Bear had to make the Taters Au Gratin in the big Oven, because all the outlets in the kitchen are on the same circuit, and that one is only a 15 Amp circuit.

I have five separate 20 amp outlets in my kitchen. I know because I installed them. But, when we bought the house. I had the same problem. I couldn't use the coffee maker and toaster at the same time. I got the standard size because I felt this was enough for us.

LOL--It was worse, but I fixed it----
We didn't used to be able to vacuum the living room carpet, without first turning the Kitchen lights off. So I ran a separate 20 Amp circuit to the Living Room, specifically for the Vacuum.

That wasn't good. I don't worry about the vacuum anymore. We have the Shark remote thing. It goes out looking for trouble. And comes back on its own.

Do most of you have a fan system to help suck out the smoke and heat that these devices put out?

Funny thing is that I've been thinking about getting one of these but have been torn between the standard and XL. I have plenty of room for the length and depth but an additional 3+" in height is a mental concern indeed, mental I say......

I could have used one today . Spun a half slab of ribs as a test . Got pretty smokey in the house .

I plan on using this next to the stove where the vent is. There is also a window close that can be opened if needed. I'm wondering if you use the drip try over the bottom elements if that should reduce the smoke?

I haven't seen any Smoke from mine yet, but I haven't used the Rotisserie yet.
I don't even vent my Microhood, because I don't like to send my heat & AC to the outside.
I would however worry about any extra height, because these things really get hot on the Top, Sides, and Back. We even take our cord around a vase to keep it away from the back of this thing, to keep it from melting!!!

Which is why I was wondering about the smoke. The picture Chopsaw posted shows the heating elements exposed. And can easily get drippings on them. In the manual I thought it stated to never use without the drip tray in place.

Yesterday, I was watching a you tube on the Emerald 360 and the person doing a chicken on the rotisserie was complaining about some smoke in the beginning.. Just something to consider.

 

[Steve H]

Interesting....

Same specs. The Power Airfryer cheaper. Hmmmm

You have to make sure you put the Baking Pan under anything that will Drip on the element or drop crumbs & pieces. The Drip tray actually goes below the Bottom heating element.

I often see drippings in the Baking pan "sizzling" & "Splattering" because the element is right under it, but I never noticed any smoke, so far.

Ah, I see. I thought it went over the elements. Thanks for setting me straight.

The Drip Tray goes under the element, but the Baking Pan goes above it if something might drip.
Also, you have to put the Pizza rack in first, so you can put the baking pan on it, because the baking pan won't reach the side support slots.

Ok, thanks Bear. Can't wait to give this bad boy a try!
