Default Fish Fryer

I plan to purchase a propane fish fryer. I see the King Kooker Portable
Propane Double Burner Cooker on Amazon for about $75 but they don't give the
BTU rating, they just say it has high-BTU cast burners. Does this mean an
output in the 160,000 BTU range? Does anybody have any other suggestions
for a two burner fish fryer? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Take a look at Cabelas and Bass Pro Shop web sites. They have tons of
this type of stuff. Don't forget you can use a turkey fryer as a fish
fryer with a smaller pan and basket and have the best of both worlds.
If you have never tasted deep fried turkey you will be amazed at what
you have been missing.

Default Fish Fryer

I do not have a suggestion on a good fish fryer. The fish/turkey
fryers seem to be very similar. Many models will probably suit you
fine. I do have a very important tip for you though!

Plan on what to do if you have a boil over! I have a propane fryer.
I followed the directions carefully. However, the first time I used
it the oil suprised me by being much too high once food had been
inserted.

If I had been in a kitchen instead of on the back porch I could have
easily handled the situation. However, I found myself balancing the
fryer tray in one hand and scooping oil out with a pot in the other.
Thank goodness for the pot. There was no place to put the oil so I
resorted to cooking the nearest flower bed! I was in a near panic
when I saw the first rush of peanut oil drip down the fryer toward the
propane flame.

Had I put some forthought into this I would have grabbed an old paint
can, etc., to put oil in.

Back to the subject of buying your own: I have noticed that more and
more places seem to be carrying propane fryers. As a result the
prices seem competitive (as well as the actual size of the fryer).
So, maybe shop around a little. Despite the "open" flame on the fryer
I have been suprised at how long my propane tanks have lasted. Good
luck!
