Those 3 reasons (besides being too cheap to shell out for the cooker,
pot and 5 gallons of peanut oil) are why I've never done it myself.

A guy at work does do it, and he always does at least 2 turkeys and
several chickens just to make it worth the time to set it up, and the
use of the oil.

I can't help but wonder, if you strain then freeze the oil, can it be
re-used?
