All you need is a burner, a frame to hold it, and a tank. You don’t need anything fancy or expensive. Academy sells one for about 40 bucks. Cooked a buttload of fish on it yesterday.

I use a cast iron pot on either the side burner of my home grill or a cheap basspro fryer stand. Kent ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/85zh4XDb/20170405-182426.jpg)

+1. The real one, made in USA. Not the Chinah made one. Cajun king or something. Up front it’ll cost. $350-400. Over time you’ll be money ahead. Cooking with it is a breeze. Get that dude hot (350*) amd roll on. Almost no recovery time like a kettle / pot fryer. No temp swings. Plus the 2 basket model lets you run 2 things at once. Oil lasts awhile. Just add some, crumbs stay on bottom.

I have a 2 burner propane rig that is a little over knee high. Use a cast iron dutch oven to cook in. Have used 2 on it when cooking for a crowd. The cast iron and powerful burner keeps the temp even for deep frying.

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. This.

I agree 100%. Everything else is second best to the Cajun Fryers.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Big Jim,
I think that’s the model I’ve got.
It’s not big enough for a turkey though.
That takes one size bigger ( if indeed i do have the 6gl. Model)
Maybe i have a 2 basket 4.5 gal model. I’ll have to check.
I buy the cheapest oil Sams club has. Liquid shortening. Peanut is for the pinky in the air crowd.

![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/MpwjfJ3L/IMG-20210620-125623582.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/PxWgxZC9/IMG-20210620-125552060.jpg) 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. They're all good,but I'll second the discada. That is, by far the most useful outdoor cooking utensil I know of.

You fuggin cheapskate….. poor bastards had to run through the McDonalds drive thru on the way home. Laffin Sounds like a small amount...Cutting each filet into sized chunks for fish & chip made a huge pile. Of course we also had 31 fresh Dungeons crabs we caught in the morning, homemade chowder made with chopped up razor clams, and 2 doz oysters I did on the grill with butter, white wine, and garlic. We finished off the meal with 2 homemade apple pies, ice cream and lots and lots of beer and booze. Nobody goes away hungry from a Beaver house party, ever...Unless you’re a vegetarian - then life is gonna suck for you. LOL 🦫

Good plan...I was under gunned with one fryer. Thankfully, we had a lot of food going off at the same time. Nobody minded having batches of fish & chip coming out every 7 minutes or so. 🦫

Just use your turkey burner stand. Swap out that BS jet burner for a banjo $12. And get to work. Dutch oven, disk, skillet. Depending on volume
