I did a quick deep-fry for the Thanksgiving dinner this evening. I had to work today so we got a late start. No problem though, an old lantern helped out nicely, besides why limit yourself to only one pressurized container of highly flammable liquid?

It was injected with butter and Cajun seasoning, and turned out great.

I have a good friend near London Ont. who has a real nice set-up. I believe he purchased it up there.

In fact he is comming down this weekend.  I hope he brings some of the good beer!

It is good done that way.

Couple of tips regarding deep frying.

If the oil is not at the upper limit of temperature then it will cool down when you put the turkey in and the turkey will absorb the oil. If it is hot the oil bubbles on the surface of the bird and does not get absorbed.

Always leave the lid off so the moisture can escape. If you leave a lid on the moisture condenses on the lid and drips back into the deep fryer wasteing heat and slowing down the cooking.

One saftey tip I did not see mentioned. Turn off the flame before removing your bird from the oil when it is done cooking.

And have something ready to put the hot turkey into when transporting it to the house.... Grease on the floor will eliminate all perks earned by cooking and will quickly bring up wife-ack like you have never seen.

Deep fried one today also. Injected it with butter/garlic, rubbed Tony Cacchere Cajun stuff all over it. mmmm, mmmm good! Just heat the oil up to about 375, then when you put the turkey in give a bit more gas until it gets back up to about 350.

Glad somebody's turkey experience went better than mine. I cooked 2. 1 deep-fried. 1 oven roasted. Both had 1/2 a tub of country crock butter (each) + alot of cajun seasonings injected the day before. Between somebody melting my thermometer by putting in the oil, running out of propane as soon as the oil was at 350 degrees, the small patch of grass I set on fire, and the trip to the hospital I very, very narrowly avoided when somebody tried to walk *through* the gas line :eek: ... well... mass chaos. At least both birds came out really good in the end.

I'd give some tips... but I don't think I'm qualified for that anymore :( Wait... I do have one... the more people in 1 group, the further the collective IQ drops. Cook alone.

Looks awesome, Goaly, you certainly had it all planned out nicely with the containers and such.
