That is JUST scary.

Yep. Fire departments respond to more than a thousand fires a year caused by folks attempting to deep fry a turkey. Physics in action: displacement, hot oil, and the slightest amount of water or ice make for great "hold my beer and watch this" moments.

That is what I always envisioned if I was to use a turkey fryer, so have stayed clear of it.

That's a misspelling...
Supposed to be "Fired Turkey".
LMAO!

Looking at the pic, I'd say they likely weren't doing turkeys, but instead were doing Cracklings.

It’s not really a Smoking topic but with American Thanksgiving coming up thought it was appropriate.

My friend fried one last weekend. His comes out the best. Brines with a spicy brine. He uses lower temp then most. 300 degees and 4 minutes a lb. He been doing them for many years and says the lower temp works better.

I was wondering if you know anything about his brine (or injection)? I'm going to try the 300 degree method, but mine is injected and has rub. Happy Thanksgiving--count your blessings. Thanks, Charlie

I think he does 300. He been busy processing deer and making sausage today and can't get a hold of him. He does some kind of Tony Chachere he makes himself.

I just talked to him and said drop turkey in at 350 then hold at 300 for 4 minutes time actual weight. They come out perfect and really nice color. He says elevation can effect that.

Actually I think he does 330. He been busy processing deer and making sausage today and can't get a hold of him. He does some kind of Tony Chachere he makes himself.

I REALLY appreciate your reply--------Thanks so much., Charlie
