7 gallon round bottom iron pot

[Cappy]

About oil cost most any cracklin place sells lard for cheap and if ya frying a bunch it taste good too. The trick is to look at the color. Ole guy by my house sells his lard like 10$ for 5 gallons but it is burnt ya can tell by the dark color he likes to pop his cracklins too hot. Another guy a lil further away same price but when ya look at his lard it is golden in color not dark brown and its MUCH better. it taste great and is economical to use lots of. The more oil ya use to fry the more stable the frying temp is and the better and less greasy ya product will be.
