Fried Turkey

[Smokey_Joe]

I did 2, 15lb birds on thanksgiving. Fried both of em in less than 2 hours total. Good thing I live in an area where I can go out in the field and dump the 3 gallons of oil.......what did you do with your oil??

If your using peanut oil, it's biodegradeable and you should have no problem dumping it out back.

When it's finally time to "dump" my oil I put it in a 5 gallon gas can. From that can I constantly fill quart oil bottles & drill a small hole in the center of cap. It makes a great fire starter... just squeeze bottle all over the wood before lighting. It kinda makes some black smoke if you squirt it directly into an already burning fire...but it sure smells good!

I suppose I could just dump it on the ground.... except my lab would probably spend the next week eating the ground it soaked into...LOL

I'm sure you could jug it up and take it to any local garage...most of them now have waste oil heaters.... they'll just dump it right in with their used motor oil.
