I fry in a regular old pot. I guess I could have gotten a newer one with the spigot at the bottom, but I like my old setup. I don't mind frying 2 or more turkeys, but to do just 1 twelve pounder is kind of a pain, with 2 boxes of oil that I only use once a year. I love fried turkey and I like that it frees up the oven to cook all the other stuff, but I think it was time for a change.
I might fry again next year, but will see if some neighbors want to bring down a bird also. I had a friend out in Piru that had a 6' deep pit that we would wrap turkeys in foil, place in tubs and lower into the pit of burning lemon wood. Place a steel plate and cover with dirt. Show back up in the morning and you had some MOIST turkey that fell off the bone. We would have 20-30 turkeys, pork butt and ham in there. Good times.
