      Also make sure the bird is frozen totally solid before slamming it in

      Don’t forget that it always tastes better when the turkey is fried while frozen solid

    Make sure the turkey is fully frozen before you put it in.

      And throw it in quickly! Wouldn’t want it to cook unevenly.

      Also, since there will be a bit of oil splattering, make sure to quickly secure your lid with clamps. Hope you have a blast!

    Just go ahead and call the fire department now. It’ll save everyone time.

        I’m sorry but all of the county’s fire trucks and both ambulances have been booked. Would you like to go on the waiting list?

      Make sure to have plenty of ice to cool down the oil

    Such a setup would make me leave the premises faster than a bunch of MAGA-brain uncles could do.

      Propane is mostly gonna be releasing H2O vapor and CO2. But also some other shitty contaminants that the gas industry doesn’t like to talk about.

      Now a charcoal barbecue on the other hand is my preferred way to cook a turkey, and would also kill the family if I was dumb enough to do it indoors.

    I like how you’re taking precautions by making sure your floor doesn’t get damaged from the oil splatter. Great job!

    I’m just so glad all the comments have such useful advice for folks. I second the tips suggesting throwing it in frozen and adding more water when things get spicy.
