HAPPY THANKSGIVING FOLKS

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

I've done it for years. The Turkey taste great if you know what your doing and you inject it with some good spices.
3 hrs is way to long for a Turkey.
3 to 4 minutes per pound.
I'm pretty sure that Turkey didn't way 45 lbs cleaned and ready to cook.
If the turkey you purchased at the store weighs 16-24 pounds, then it's a tom, if it weighs 8 to 16 pounds, then it's a hen.
Most the Turkeys we deep fry are about 12 to 15 lbs. Takes under an hour. He burned the fk out of the Turkey you ate.

Imagine the size of the pot of oil for a 24# bird, how much free board would be required and how long it would take to get the insides up to 165F in 375F oil.

After we got the pot of oil up to 375F at my son's, besides the turkey, we did pork chops and alligator afterwards. I've haven't used ours here since the last time my daughter and grandkids visited. Hard to justify the cost that much oil unless you use it before it goes rancid or have a good place to store it cold.

We actually had two boiler setups, but I used one of the pots to hold the ice-water for a still, so have two burners and one pot. We use ours more for boils than fries. Like a crawfish boil lakeside straight from the traps.

Approximately 96 mins if its ready for the oil.

Cut in quarters and thrown in the smoker. Not too bad and doesn't take too long. Ever since we started quartering before cooking, we have never gone back to doing it as a whole.

My burner serves double duty by heating a cast iron dutch oven to melt wheel weights and lead pipe to cast ingots.
