[TheForge] Quenching Oil

[Stephen McGehee]

A new resource y'all:  Turkey Fryers use about 4-5 gallons of oil,
sometimes Peanut .  If they just cook one bird and let the oil cool off,
it cannot be reused, and is just thrown away.  Two jugs of that stuff
and you will be set up to heat treat almost anything that is oil
tempering.  I have used it a little so far with excellent results and
when you do, it makes your shop smell like cooked turkey, not the toxic
stink of used motor oil.  Kinda like using beeswax for a burnt oil
finish versus paraffin, the next morning your shop smells so nice...
So call up your brother-in-law and ask him for his discard oil.
