I don't see why not. Hell you could even squeeze a full wort boil for a five gallon batch out of them, and they don't cost too much more than a high quality-name brand stainless steel brew kettle of similar volume. Cool.
looks pretty cool. at a 7 gal capacity i dont see why it couldnt be used for 5 gal batches. I wouldnt mind hearin some reviews from people who bought one.

The element in that fryer is, near as I can tell from looking at other sites, 1650W. With 1650W, you're looking at around 82 minutes to go from 65 to boiling...
If your using it as a BK, then your already starting with your wort at 140+, so theres the majority of your time cut down. Using as your HLT might be a bit longer, but just get up a smidgeon earlier and plug it in.

I just bought this I was walking in Canadian tire in Canada here and it was on sale. I used this to get my sparge water 170. It has a thermastat and a spigiot with works awsome.
I used my 3 gallon kettle to get my strike water ready. I let the wort site for an hour in my mash tun by that time my sparge water was ready in the turkey deep fryer.
I used the deep fryer for my hlt and sparged into my 6 gallon bucket and then put about 2 gallons into my kettel
then transfered the hot wort back into the fryer and cranked it up to boil.
the wort that wouldnt fit in the fryer I simply boiled in my small kettle.
So far it's been nice it does take awhile to get boiling but im patient
