Picked peanut oil over canola for my first turkey fry and the smoke alarm in my Brooklyn apartment is still mad at me

Peanut oil smokes around 450 degrees, canola taps out closer to 400, so yeah, that jump makes a difference when you've got a 12 pound bird hitting hot oil. In a Brooklyn apartment you're basically frying inside a shoebox, so even a few degrees of extra smoke sets off every alarm on the floor. Next time crack a window, aim a box fan out, and pull the battery on the alarm before the oil even heats up. Or just do it on the roof like half the neighborhood already does.
