Turkey Fryer Public Service Announcement

About a month ago we started toying with the idea of frying a turkey for Stray Monkey article and doing a Stray Monkey version of fried turkducken was mentioned. We didn’t end up doing it though because, well, Ray only knows how to make tequila meatballs, and frankly, deep frying can be dangerous. In fact, Thanksgiving day across the country has become a very busy one for rescue services because some yokel always thinks he knows what he is doing and doesn’t need any directions when he breaks out his new turkey fryer. This is why things like this happen:

While researching some videos of said yokels setting fire to their property and ruining dinner, I came across this spectacular spectacle of public access television PSA’s.

Take a look, and for Pete’s sake people be careful, be smart, and be prepared if you are going to deep fry your bird this year. Check out the video below thanks to the Cobb County Fire & Emergency Services team:
