Now to get the deep fryer set up and see if I bought enough oil to envelop a 15 lb turkey.

I see you have it in the fryer already, but with the pot I have, I usually use 3 1/2 four litre jugs.

First step in using the turkey fryer: Disable the safety features.
This thing has a 15 minute timer on it that will shut off the propane if you don't reset it. Forces a person to be right there with the thing. Safer that way I suppose, but it's rather inconvenient when a person has other things to do. Right now I have zip ties holding the button down. In the spring I want to use this thing to boil down sap, it will need to run for a few hours at a time.

Wow, would that ever be a pain! While I do keep a diligent eye on the fryer at all times, I don't sit right on it, especially while it heats up to near the 400° start point. I have done probably 3 dozen fried turkeys over the last dozen years, and I ain't burned nothing down yet. I do always fry outside.
). Note the windscreen, and the observation throne where I perched myself, while I safely monitored the turkey (and had a cocktail, or two 
).
