Preferably one of those cheap thin paper kind. That should just about do it.
As someone who has dealt with burns in the ER, I recommend one of the plastic ones that have the fussy side so it won’t scratch the plywood so you can use it again the future.

Plus plastic just looks nicer.

I always set my rig up in front of the Christmas tree so that I have more lighting and so that I don't miss any of the game. Also it just takes up too much floor space in a kitchen that appears to be similar size of mine.

Just a suggestion.

As long as your grease is filled comma to the top, then you’re good.

I’m not ruining a sheet of plywood just to fry a turkey. I just use a big cardboard box torn at the seams to put under the burner. Other than that, looks like a good setup.

Are you looking to make a fire insurance claim?

As long as that plywood is pressure treated I think you are good to go.

You've been here long enough to know better than to ask for legitimate advice

He could also seal it with an oil based paint.

Looks good and just a few safety reminders...the long shank bic lighter you use to light your burner for crawfish and shrimp boils can also be used for indoor fried turkey ignition.

Those cheap plastic Harbor Freight face shields are good for keeping the occasional grease splatter off your face. Indoors with no sun, run the bathroom's electric heater early to help keep your grease at the optimal temperature.

Can't be too safe when frying turkeys indoors.

Think it's too small, need bigger burners and a bigger pot. If you're gonna do that though may as well fry the neighbors turkey too.

Just make sure the turkey is frozen.

Wait why does the turkey have to be fried whole? I get oven roasting it whole but frying in oil can’t you just cut it in pieces like making fried chicken?

I’d probably move that towel and mat out of the way. Wouldn’t want to start a fire.
