Has anyone ever deep fried something with bacon grease?

You have to be careful when getting animal fat to a high temp. It does tend to smoke and flame. If you keep the temp down or if you are rotating what ever is being fried with new going in at intervals, both will keep the grease from flaming up. I use salted lard with just a bit of butter crisco, about an inch deep to fry frybread.

I deep fried battered bacon in bacon grease. Yes, really. Just be carefull when heating up the grease. It'll smoke/burn at a cooler temp than crisco and veggi oil.

Bacon grease is great for frying up crab cakes! I do mine in a cast iron skillet.

How about getting super lean hamburger (or grind your own) and cutting it with set-up bacon grease instead of suet. The consistency would be different, but I think you'd retain some bacony goodness in your burger...if it doesn't fall completely apart.

Eggs. We would always save the hot bacon grease in a cup for frying eggs. Please be careful and don't put the hot grease in a coffee cup. I have heard horror stories of people thinking it was their morning coffee. Owch!

I know some high-end restaurants will use duck fat or a blend with other oils to cook fries. I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use pork fat. Fry up a few pounds of bacon, filter the grease, and blend it with another oil or fat.
