It's not like a big tub of super heated oil in your garage could start a fire or anything, right?

Found one, 80K in damage!    Hold My Beer...

A deep-frying turkey is to blame for a fire that caused $80,000 damage to a Crystal Lake garage, officials said today.

Firefighters with the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department were called to the home on the 700 block of Windsor Drive at about noon, fire officials said.

When they arrived they found smoke and flames coming from the garage of the home, officials said.

Only pussies cook in the garage.  Real men do it in the living room so none of the game is missed.

Is there something about a frozen turkey that makes it explode worse than a regular turkey, or are the legends just caused by overflowing the superheated oil?

I live on a busy road that leads to a bunch of large neighborhoods. Beginning yesterday evening the fire trucks have been rolling by with lights and sirens about every hour.

Yeah...this isn't quite rocket science.



Thoroughly thaw turkey. Dry turkey off.



Problem solved.



Deep frying a pound of bacon in the oil first is my preferred method, btw....
