> I fry it all in a searing hot wok
That hibachi has a 30,000 BTU burner. Your kitchen's stove is at most half that powerful. So there's more steaming instead of frying in your kitchen as compared to the commercial hibachis. So less browning (flavor and texture).
You can try it on a larger cast iron skillet/griddle over one of those turkey fryer propane burners (outdoors of course). Like this: https://www.amazon.com/King-Kooker-1265BF3-Portable-Aluminum/dp/B00B4BN9PM. That one does 38,000 BTUs, so plenty.
I have an old unused charcoal grill, built in. For years now I've been wanting to pull it out and replace it with something like this and a 1/2" thick stainless steel plate. I'd have to vent the living hell out of it, and install a fire system and hood, but it'd be fun as hell to actually be able to cook a real hibachi dinner at home. And of course I'd have to master the little steaming onion ring stack with the train noises. I'm about 99% positive such a thing couldn't be permitted.
The Turkey Fryer pot also comes in a smaller Fish Fry size.
Granted this is for the whole rig but I've seen them at the big box stores sold by themselves.
I've fried 3 turkeys in my house, on my counter, with this thing. Never once had any issues or felt unsafe. Downside is your house smells like the back of a KFC for a couple days.
I got one of thisoutside burner for when I want to boil crawfishs and sear fry my beef. A Vietnamese dish called Bo Luc Lac.
At my gramps house he built an outside kitchen disconnect to the main house then another outdoor stove complete with a shed and two powerful burner because you don't want that smell in the house. Food comes out on point and hot.
I have a new in the box All American double capacity 930 pressure canner and Eastman Outdoor Cooking set , also new in the box, (ie. Outdoor LP burner to fire the oversized pressure canner on, plus fish/turkey cooker pots) + (3) cases of (12) new quart jars, (1) case (12) pint jars, lids, blocks of wax, book Complete Book of Home Preserving, possibly other related books and a box of previously used canning jars. If needed, I could throw in a used LP replacement tank for an extra $25. I'm thinking $300 for everything less LP tank or $325 for everything plus LP tank delivered in Orange or Durham counties. PM me email address, and I'll attempt to send photos.
Not sure about the mudbugs, but a complete cook setup can be had for $90 from Amazon, with a burner, two pots, strainers, a cover, thermometer, and other accessories.
My family deep fried a turkey one year for thanksgiving and it was actually really good. Not greasy at all if done properly (or not as nearly as greasy as I thought it would be).
It's done using one of these:

40qt/10gal pot on amazon for $41 and free shipping listed there (or on amazon for ~$50). Its not stainless, and theres no fancy thermometers or spigots, but its bigger than 6gal.
If you don't have a propane burner, maybe pick up a turkey fryer and burner together. a quick search brings me to this one for $50 though the burner looks kinda flimsy to me. Also this one for $80 which looks to have a burner thats a bit more sturdy. Both those have approx 7.5gal pots
If you're trying to do biab using paint strainer bags though, they almost certainly won't fit around that pot's circumference.
Opening all the vents should get the temperature up. Usually you can get higher temps with wood as opposed to charcoal.
You want to cook the best turkey? Cook it in one of these. The big easy makes great turkey. We will smoke it in the smoker four about an hour then in the big easy it goes.
I've deep fried several turkeys over the years and I've never had one spill over on me, I'm assuming they used too much oil. Also people don't use a fully thawed turkey sometimes and ice or water remains inside the turkey it needs to be completely dry even going as far as wiping down the turkey with some paper towels. Side note: I recently purchased an oil-less turkey fryer from Lowe's which uses infrared heat to cook the turkey and it came out just as crispy and juicy as an oil fryer.(here's a link to the one I used https://www.amazon.com/Char-Broil-Oil-less-Liquid-Propane-Turkey/dp/B071VT9RRR/ref=asc_df_B071VT9RRR/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198061703654&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6346154936237572412&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=200574&hvtargid=pla-551092360552&psc=1). Just some recommendations. Happy Thanksgiving everybody be safe if your frying.
I cannot say enough good things about the ButterBall Electric fryter i got myself last thanksgiving.
It can cook a 20 lb turkey in about an hour, and can take all the potatoes and other glorious foods at once unlike those smaller fryers. You should be able to get one for <100$ i would think.

Yup. I think you were trying to link this, and I have the same one, it's great! Even if OP doesn't think so.
