I'll bring a bag of taters.

Don't those sound good? I'll put you down for 'em.

YES it would be my pleasure to donate instead of bringing chips. Can I mail it, or send it to you via PayPal? Please PM the info to me.

Sweet. I'll change the first post and let you and DiveDive sort the rest out.

Hi all, checking in with turkey info...

As far as I can tell.. there looks like about 40 attendees... so far. Figuring 3/4 lb raw bird per person means at least 2 15lb birds, maybe 3 if they are smaller. More if the crowd grows. I have secured 2 fryers and need to pm truck1 about his for a third.

Guidelines for turkeys to be fried... (VERY IMPORTANT)

1. DO NOT BUY BUTTERBALL turkeys... they are injected with alot of water... not good for frying. Buy cheap "young" turkeys. It's ok... they fry the best. I saw 79 cents/lb today for Publix generic birds. Those ALDI birds are OK... just try to buy the bigger ones.

2. 13-15lb size is best. This weight is the size that will max out the fryer's capacity... therefore most "bang" for the buck (and cooking time).

3. The birds must be thouroughly defrosted... no exceptions. Please make sure the giblits are removed and the cavern is completely thawed. This is the number 1 reason for splatter, burns, and fires.

4. Anyone else that wants to donate oil (or to the oil fund) (Cottenseed only), please pm me. BassPro has 3gal jugs on sale for about $20. Each fryer uses 3-4 gallons. I will be running 2, maybe 3 fryers. I have 2 fresh jugs of oil, a couple more jugs would be appreciated.

5. The oil will preheat for almost an hour to reach the right temp. The birds cook 3.5 min/lb. 15 lb bird cooks in about 55 minutes. Please make sure the birds arrive in time to cook properly.

Thanks,
Scott

Thanks for the info on the turkeys. The one I am bringing will be slightly smaller, I think it is in the 10-12 lb range. If you want me to pick up another, I will.
And the fresh french fries sound wonderful!
Shall we try some fried Twinkies for dessert?

As it stands right now, I am able to make the event so we will have a 3rd fryer with oil. Blondeambition and I willl bring a extra turkey also.( In the unlikely event we cant make it, I will be more than happy to supply the name and address of the reason why.)

EKremer & FossilBabe, based on divedivedivecfl post (137), how about donating $12 each to be given to him for oil? Actually DebbyDiver do you want to do that as well instead of chips and stuff?

You got it. Just pm me with details and such. Is that all? I also have a tent here with some extra large cots if anyone needs a place to stay overnight?

The response to this dive at the Florida Dive Show has been spectacular. I wish I had made some fliers!!!
