One last piece of advice do not stuff the bird unless you want to see hot oily stuffing shooting 30 feet in the air. From what I hear.
What it does is boil over and you get nice oil running down the pot and on the flame!! Happened to me last year (minus the flame). Lucky that it did not hit the flame.

There was just too much oil in my pot and the turkey was not completely dried. Two critical elements in deep frying turkey.
