    Turkey Fryer

    I had a brand new turkey fryer given to me, and will be using it to melt down lino type and lead to make ingots. Does anyone know how to over ride or disable the 15 minute timer?

    I had to gut the whole system to get past it, dang thing never did work worth a dang either, went back to the old one and threw the new one in the trash.

    There are a bunch of videos on this.

    Price is up since I bought mine.

    You can throttle it down to where it just trickles along, or crank it up till it roars. Whatever you need. No timers, no bs.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    That's where I learned the proper term for those is called a 'speed wrench'.

    Speed wrench, I like that. I worked on a ranch in Montana many years ago in my late teens. The foreman called them "clubs". If something wouldn't break free he'd say "bring me a bigger club"

    You can't fry a turkey or boil a pot of crawfish in 15 minutes ... why a 15 minute timer ?
    Bayou Classic Jet Burners used to do the job ... but I live in Louisiana and they will sell us all sorts of dangerous cooking stuff !
    Drinking lots of beer while frying a turkey is a great pastime around here .
