turkey fryers... use propane. you probably know somebody who has one.

waste oil is the big issue.. you are taking a lot of equip and supplies for one meal/side dish...

"KETCHUP" AN ART PROJECT WILL BE GIVING AWAY FRENCH FRIES EVERY EVENING ON THE PLAYA 4:30 PLAZA

look for the 32 ft tall ketchup bottle.

bring mo taterz and they will fprob. fry them for you.

thanks for the tips, guys! (sorry i didn't check this thread earlier, guess i still haven't figured out if i can get post replies e-mailed straight to me... i thought i had!)

i'll deffo check out trader joe's, i didn't even know about wisconsin's cheese curds until i looked more into how to make them. (if this works, whew! 'coz i was thinking of making cheese curds myself using milk x_x)

i'll probably be using the camp's deep-fryer and will figure out the propane problem. but it's not a very large deep-fryer, so i don't think i'll be making poutine on a large scale.

gonna start the hunt for delicious veggie gravy this weekend :) wish me luck!

I'm sure this or a similar question will come up again for 2009.

I'd definitely recommend propane. Costco sells propane deep-fryers for $99. As for the leftover oil, I'm sure you could reuse it a couple times for frying other foods. Then comes the fun part. Vegetable oil is handy for anything flame-related ... as lamp oil, to really get your trash burn barrel started, in tiki torches, etc.
