Bad ROO for processing

[aart]

I heard a turkey fryer is great because you can set it to 150*

Never heard of a thermostatically controlled turkey fryer.

That's what I use. Outdoor propane Turkey fryer. Have a plastic table with folding legs, easy to clean.

To the OP... post him on Craigslist. Someone will purchase for processing.

I never knew there was a specific temperature... DH grew up butchering chickens and goes by the feel of the water. He nails it every time. The skin doesn’t scald and the feathers practically wipe off.

How do you heat the water...and keep it hot?

I use our outdoor/camping stove. I set the whole thing up over by the dreaded killing cone. Camping folding table, stove, gloves and kitchen shears and several buckets for the bits and feathers. It helps, I think, to also have access to fresh water either right there or at least close by to rinse stuff off.
