And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
For what it is worth, the fancy turkey and outdoor fryers are pretty and easy to clean. In the late 60s my Texarkana, Texas relatives and their buddies all had outdoor deep fryers that were made from old hot water heater burners, welded bases and stainless steel pots. They were solid and easy to use. Toss your battered fish or anything else into the pot and in a few minutes it would rise to the top ready to be eaten. Dave
Pro tip: Just before immersing the bird in the oil TURN OFF THE FRIGGIN FLAME!!!. After the sputtering and over flow have stopped, you can re-ignite. That way you don’t have an uncontrollable oil fire on your hands. You’re welcome.
Place Turkey in EMPTY large pot. Fill with water until Turkey is covered. Remove Turkey & mark inside of pot where the oil level is or measure and mark outside of pot. BTW, those large pots are ideal for making huge amounts of Beaufort Stew or gallons of chili.
I've been using mine for decades and have never had a problem.
I'll have to keep this in mind for the future.
