Have to say that you did inspire me; using a KB5 burner on the widest stand I could find with the largest Zebra pot from Makro, rice bran oil and a very homely but sturdy home made lifter, roasted up a wonderful turkey for Thanksgiving recently. Did try a few ducks already and they were scrudiddlyumpous (scrumptious), the first time seemed to attract dogs all the way from Chiang Rai.
Outside large sized deep frying is common in the great white north; but here there is a very serious safety issue. Clothing! Whilest frying we at least wear boots, jeans, heavy jacket (not fleece), and of course a toque. Here shorts, maybe flip flops.
Canadian dress outdoor fry up;
How long do you keep used oil? I store it after a little screening in a sealed container in a dark cupboard. Have 5 fry's into the oil and it just darkened noticeably after the big bird.
