Who’s got one setup for frying up some fish.. ? I’m in the market but don’t really wanna buy a piece of schidt setup ? Thanks

As I write this,,,,,



Using the 8 1/2 gal. Cajun cooker. Well old son is anyway. Im here to eat.

Man oh man! I need to be at your house kaywoodie.

Jak se mâs texczech!

Im at his place. Drive on down.

Edit!! Bring more pevo!!

You really need two fryers, my Cajun fryer takes 2+ gal of oil. The one I made from a 24" disc blade takes 1qt of oil. We always use the disc one unless I'm cooking for 5 or more people. Just place whatever you cook first on the outside of the the SS ring and it drains the excess oil and the food stays warm.

I just use my big dutch oven on a propane burner.

How do you maintain your youthful physic the way you eat? That looks great!

Im usually the last one that gets to the feed bucket. Not much left., Mark!

LOL
Everybody here is a dumb ass, then you ask them for advice. Classic

Ok I’m gonna nip this in the bud now. The Fire is a Pro American organization. GFY

My wife is looking at them now. We are building a covered outdoor kitchen and she is getting ideas for things to include. Prices for building supplies have really put a crimp on the project. Pavers have doubled in price.

Waring double basket deep fryer ain’t too shabby.

Ran 3lbs of Rock Fish and taters for 8 people in 40 minutes last night.

I buy the cheap Basspro fish fryer kit and use the burner with a Disc like KW posted. Uses less oil and is more versatile. I’ll fry a batch of fish and potatoes in it one night and the next I’ll slap a dollop of Manteca lard on it and make elk or deer fajitas with fried corn tortillas.

Kaywoodie's setup looks like the one my son built. It's a copy of the Bayou Classic I think. Uses propane and holds about 4 gal. of oil. Fries quick and well. Just have to watch your temp. You can fry a lot at one time. For just the wife and myself I use an old furnace for melting lead and an old pot full of oil to fry enough for us to eat. Keep it at 350* and they swim pretty fast.

More pevo. Da!

Here’s my next one. Been cleaning 125 years of ‘patina’ off of it

I will just cradle it in an older burner stand for a peanut boiler I had.

19th century cast, pig iron from Cumberland Furnace iron works.

Look at the Bayou Classic. I have the 4 gallon double basket. My son bought the 2 gallon single basket.
We use the 2 gallon more than the big one. We can cook comfortably for 6 to 8 quickly doing Catfish filets, fry's, and hush puppies quickly. We use the big fryer with larger crowds. We like both, just have to decide how big of crowd you will be cooking for.

I use one of these sitting on top of a big turkey fryer propane burner:

This isn't the burner I've got but mine's similar, get one that puts out a LOT of BTU's:

Propane Burner

Get one of the infrared thermometer guns. Since I bought one of those I don't mess around with a thermometer in the oil, just check it with the gun. It's 1000X better.
