From the manufacturer
With ever increasing popularity of outdoor cooking and backyard entertainment, the 4-gal Bayou Fryer feeds a crowd. Perfectly fry fish, shrimp, chicken, fries, hushpuppies and onion rings with this innovative 4-gal stainless outdoor fryer. A fryer that heats from the “inside out”, not the bottom, so cooking oil stays clean and food always tastes great! Heating from the “inside out”, a horizontally mounted rear jet burner blasts intense hot air through inner vent tubing under the oil, then exits safely through a rear exterior vertical exhaust. Heat transfers through the metal tubing into the oil. The fryer V-Bottom collects loose batter below the heat source to prevent scorching. Cooking oil stays cleaner and lasts much longer. Stainless construction and bottom Drain Valve provide easy clean-up. Make your backyard a Wild Life refuge for food, fun, and fellowship with a Bayou Classic 4-gal Fryer.

Pros
- very inexpensive
- when baskets are not over-filled, oil temp doesn't drop much, if at all (stayed at least 350F)
- drain valve makes for easy cleanup
- relatively efficient, used most of a 30lb propane tank for about 11 hours of use
Cons
- thermometer is somewhat delicate, so just handle with a bit of care
- oil temp can be difficult to keep low during idle times, even on lowest valve setting
Now let me just qualify those two cons - if you are rough with this unit, the thermometer will break, but with care, it should be absolutely fine. I can see people complaining that it is easily broken, but if you just finger tighten the nut and not bump it, you should be just fine. Also, on the first day, I had the oil temp reaching 390F, so I ended up shutting it off and relighting it several times. The second day I realized that if you just turn the flame down and throw a small batch of fries in, you can easily keep the temp at 350F.
One last thing - I saw some other reviews state that the jet caused the propane hose to get hot and melt. I was really concerned about this, so I placed a large metal binder clip on the nut at the end of the hose for extra surface area and cooling, and there were no problems at all. In fact, it never got hotter than I could touch, so perhaps those units had a defect.
Bottom line is that I would definitely purchase this fryer again.
This year, we decided to make a change. We purchased two of the 4 gallon fryers this past Monday, they were delivered on Wednesday. We simply threw the boxes into our trailer and headed of to the campout on Thursday. Friday morning, we tossed the chicken into a sweet tea brine, and left them in the cooler with a bit of ice. We then proceeded to unpack and build the fryers. They give you most of .the tools you need (except for a adjustable wrench to screw in the burner and the temp gauge). Assembly took only about 15 minutes per fryer. We set everything up and sat around drinking a few ice cold beverages. The dinner started at 6:15PM. About 4:45, we filled the fryers with vegetable oil, fired them up on full high, and it took only about 10 minutes to bring up to 350. I have to say that it held that temp VERY VERY well. A few adjustments here and there on the gas output, and it stayed pretty rock solid. We simply removed the chicken from the brine, drained them on a rack, and dredged them in our flour and seasoning. We could fit 10 thighs in one fryer and bout 16 legs in the other fryer. we simply would keep the temp at about 350 degrees and once the chicken was golden brown, the internal temp had almost always hit 160/165 degrees. They chicken came out perfectly. Crispy, delicious and not oily. The inside was piping hot, and super juicy. Amazingly, the oil stayed super clean, and all of the excess flour fell to the bottom of the "V" in between the heating tube. No more needing to skim the oil. Also, the temp at the fry station was nice and cool. All of the heat is exhausted out of the back vent. Once we finished up, we let the oil cool, drained it into buckets, and sealed the buckets. We simply poured the used oil back into the fryer and pushed out all of the sediment down the 1" Drain tube. It worked perfectly. Cleanup was a breeze and we simply wiped down the inside with a cotton rag.
If you are on the fence about buying one of these fryers, don't hesitate. They are well built, and perform flawlessly. I have been cooking for most of my life, and these guys are the real deal. ENJOY!!
