We've a consumer version of the one Coddy has, cost about £25, does a pretty good job.

Open a window! Seriously, if you keep filtering the oil then there is little smell while cooking and after.

Yorkies should be made with beef dripping, never oil

Damned right!

And having eventually tried cooking chips in lard, I am never again going to use oil.
