Deep fry turkey a day ahead?

Looks like a rainy Thanksgiving in NC, so I need to figure out alternate plans for a deep fried turkey. Read some posts about frying a day early and reheating.
Anyone have experience with this?

Not sure what your house is like, but do you have a garage? Not going to say this is the safest way by any means, but have some years under my belt and it’s not a problem, because I take lots of precaution other than the fact it’s “technically” in the garage. Just keep my garage door open and position the fryer toward the opening, still under the cover of the roof and garage door. Fan behind it, blowing outside. Big flattened box under it for accidental drips. Fried many a turkey and lots of boiled peanuts this way while it’s raining.

Northern Indiana here. Deep fried turkeys for many many years. Most years I deal with snow or icy winds. I've performed in the garage 90% of the time. Dry your turkey AFTER it is FULLY defrosted. I've always just taken the pot off the burner onto cardboard, and after the bird is in and settled, back on the burner it goes. People over- complicate frying a bird.

Use one of those 10x10 pop up canopies and cook on.
