The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) joins the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to demonstrate the fire dangers of turkey fryers in this live burn. The NFPA strongly discourages the use of turkey fryers. Turkey fryers that use cooking oil are NOT SAFE. These fryers use large amounts of oil at high temperatures, which can cause devastating burns. If you want a fried turkey for your holiday meal, purchase it from a grocery store, restaurant or buy a fryer that does not use oil.
