I get so frustrated with fryers. It just takes so LONG to fry enough of anything to feed my crew. I cannot imagine how long Devon and his friends run it to fry enough of whatever to feed them.
HAve him get a job at Long John Silvers. He won't fry ANYTHING for quite a while - AND he will have a paycheck! My bro worked there for a few months in high school. He couldn't even stand teh smell of something frying in a small amt of oil on the stove!
Make it a rule that he can't use it when it is snowing or raining, and that he can only use it outside. It really isn't fair of him to smell up the house with something that lingers for several days when 2/3 of hte household is sickened by it. He would be more than welcome to fry anything he wanted when he has his own place.
Do you have a garage or carport? That might be a place he could fry. Or let him take it over to a friends. One of those friends who enjoy it at your place. "loan" it to the friends' mom - long term?
PLEASE do not knock it into a sink of soapy water. ESP not with oil in it. It iwll kill your pipes and could hurt you very very badly.
If I think of anything else I will let you know.
