FasterThanU90 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 was with family today down by the river and noticed a small fire next to a house, thought it was a campfire and it got alot bigger and started up the side of the patio and just took off from there across the roof, and in kno time the house was engulfed with flames propane tanks starting goin off it was crazy. The family stood outside frantic watching there house burn down it was soo tragic and to watch the whole thing happen without being able to do anything was even worse. Flames were a good 3 4 stories high the roof/patio caved in it was insane we could feel the heat from across the river. Ive never seen a house burn down that close and that fast makes u rethink alot of things in daily life. Hell of a Thanksgiving Day for them hope they have good insurance I guess they were deep frying a turkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animalman294 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Yeah, I heard it is a good way to cook them, but damn it is also extremely dangerous if you don't do it right.............. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 deep fried turkeys are delicious, made them a few times.. Hot oil does not like water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabass Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I saw a special on t.v. about that. They demonstrated by putting a frozen turkey in the fryer near a model house. The thing went up in flames as fast as you describe it. If anyone's thinking of doing this, go far away from the house! By the way, it does come out really good.
