Transporting Fried Turkeys for 2-3 hours

Thanks, that thread reminded me I needed to ask. I can actually be more specific, is foil over a roaster pan enough or should I also wrap in towels and use ice chests?

If it was just a short car ride I would say that is fine. But 2-3 hours I personally would put down a towel, the covered roasting pan, and another towel in an ice chest. If you don't have an ice chest that will hold it, at the very least put a towel or 2 over the covered roasting pan to provide some insulation to keep the heat in. I always use old big beach towels.

Hope that helps.

No matter what you do, it won't be the same as fresh. I always bring my gear and fry on site. Whiskey and frying birds. Fun times.

Right. If he just tents it though for 2-3 hours, his bird won't be warm when time to carve. I think he is trying to avoid reheating.
I would sacrifice the skin for a warm juicy bird. But that is me.

Right on, this sounds like my plan. Also to the poster who said he would just do it on site I would LOVE to bring my stuff and do it there. But the timing doesn't work, plus with other family stuff in the car these days not sure how much space would left for my "cooking toys".
