I just saw this thread as I gave yesterday the day off. I have fried maybe 100 turkeys with no incidents. Done as many as 11 in a single morning-‘course I have a big pot. A really big pot. I can fry three 20lb birds at a time no problem. Just thaw them good, pat dry, use a good cable to lower them in and wait. Never been close to burning down the house, lol.
