Deep Frying Fun
Turkey fryers have taken the country by storm, but they’ve gotten bad press for being associated with house fires. King Kooker has developed a turkey fryer with an automatic gas shut-off. When the cooking oil exceeds 475 degrees, the cooker will shut down and can’t be relit until the oil cools back down to 350 degrees.

Kidde Wireless Smoke Alarms
The Kidde Wireless System is the next level in fire protection. It gives families an earlier warning of a fire by linking together smoke alarms and accessories so that when one alarm sounds, it will trigger all others to sound. Families have on average only three minutes from the time a smoke alarm sounds to escape a fire so the sooner they hear a smoke alarm, the sooner they can get out safely. The Kidde Wireless System is available at Lowe’s home improvement stores.
