using two big pots at a time, but I'd rather be outside with everyone
instead of being in the kitchen.
Any recommendations? I'll be using a 60-quart steamer a neighbor has.
Thanks.
The burners they were selling with the turkey cooker setups are what
you want. Watch the garage sales and craigslist. These things show up
real cheap now and then. I suspect a lot were thrown away when the
"boil your turkey in oil" craze faded.
There's an idea. I'd only use it a couple times a year. I have a smaller
"indoor" crab and lobster steamer that's fine for the stovetop, although
the smell of shellfish cooking drives the cats crazy. If I had an
outdoor cooker, I could leave the smell from the shellfish...outdoors..

Never understood cooking turkey in oil when it is so easy to just roast
it in a pan in the oven, and avoid the grease and oil.

Not to worry; none of them are invited. I've been considering renting a
yard tent this year, what with all the damned rain.

It's always good to have a yard tent at a seafood tent party.

Of course it is nice. Especially the type of party that Herr Krause
would host for his invited friends, such as the House fool Robert
Gibbs, the lying Pelosi, and the PMS infested *SENATOR* Boxer.

Neither blazing sun or torrents of rain should foul this gala event.
