Product description
Sure, that raw vegetable medley on a bed of organic straw is the right choice some times. But let's face facts - sometimes you want a little bit of indulgence, a little deep fried goodness. When the time comes, this Bayou Fryer will help you go deep. This sturdy freestanding unit is large enought to handle a turkey and features a V-bottom design that keeps the base oil temperature cooler than the frying oil on top, minimizing burns and keeping oil cleaner. Includes temperature gauge, 10 PSI preset regulator and a stainless steel braided hose. 4-gallon model includes 2 baskets. Propane not included. Additional baskets and accessory cart with tank storage and side shelf sold separately. Item is factory shipped.

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.

- Reviewed in Canada on January 20, 2021Verified PurchaseWe just love frying now! We have a large family and this unit cooks food perfectly and fast! We have to make sure we open the garage door to fry so there is air flow. Heats up in 10 min. We use peanut oil and are SO happy with this purchase. The cart is an essential to make the moving of this unit around easy and clean.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 27, 2018Verified PurchaseI bought this fryer to be able to cook for our large family gatherings. It has a great oil heat recovery I can drop both baskets of frozen frys in and turn the burner up and the oil dose not drop like outher fryers the drain valve is great for draining oil and the burner flue placement is great no burnt crumbs in the bottom. If you are wondering about the stainless Steel... it is true stainless Steel verry well built fryer 10/10 would recommend it

- Reviewed in Canada on November 10, 2020Verified PurchaseCooks wings to perfection in 10 minutes. Would recommend a splash guard under your fryer as the grease spatters over and will stain your deck or concrete. This went on sale by almost $ 200.00 so if you want this item i would say to keep an eye out for the best price as it fluctuates

4.0 out of 5 stars Freidora doble
Verified PurchaseEs un buen producto, se necesitaba ya, la única observación es que al terminar de armarlo y ponerlo en superficie firme quedó un poco manco, o sea, un pata más corta que el resto.
- DonnieReviewed in the United States on April 13, 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, easy to keep heat regulated and cooks fish very fast!
Verified PurchaseI’m here to tell ya, if m not a big fish cooking person, but I cooked 3 huge pans today with this cooker, you better be on your toes, this sucker gets the job done so fast it’s unbelievable. The heat was easy to regulate and held very well even after adding frozen fries and hush puppies to it. I’d give 10 stars if I could. Thanks for making a great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars From someone who has burnt a lot of chicken - this is the best design for a gas fryer you can buy.
Verified PurchaseI've been cooking chicken for many years. When I saw this design, I knew immediately they had fixed a problem I have complained about and experienced for years. Whether it is a household fryer or one of the other outdoor fryers with burners on the bottom, the breading accumulates on the bottom and burns. The electric heater in indoor fryers gets covered in batter and when the batter gets high enough, you will start seeing black chunks in the oil, bubbles of smoke coming to the top, and whatever you are cooking will taste burnt and not worth eating.
The exact same thing happens to oil cookers that have the propane burners under neath. The batter on the bottom will burn, the oil will be ruined, and there's no way to filter out that nasty burnt taste. There's nothing worse than having a bunch of people over to have your fresh fried chicken and fish only to have it ruined by a terrible burnt taste with black specs all over your food. Truly embarrassing.
As soon as I saw this design, I knew immediately it was a winner and a problem solver. It uses a heating chamber that runs through the oil about three inches up from the bottom. The batter can collect at the bottom and not get burnt like all the other fryers. Do yourself a favor and get this type of fryer. I love it. It comes with two individual baskets. I bought a large single basket also for when I'm cooking large batches of the same thing. Now everyone at the campground looks forward to coming over and having good, fresh fried chicken, fish, and French fries every Sunday. I'm going to buy another one for my house.
I read several reviews complaining about it being bent up or broken on delivery or used. That's not the manufacturer's fault. If it is, refuse delivery and get another one. Don't blame Bayou Classic.
I've also seen reviews complaining about it catching fire or blowing up. It doesn't have a temperature regulator on it but that should be clear if you read the directions. You have to watch the temperature and adjust it just like every other outdoor fryer. Read the directions, apply some common sense, and you will love this fryer.
If there's one complaint I have, it's that it should come with some kind of scoop you can use to get the breading out of the bottom. You can buy them but they are a little pricey. Maybe they will read this review and start including one. Other than that, it is so much better than the other designs. I'll never go back.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you fry, you will not find a better way to do it. If you don't fry, you should start here.
Verified PurchaseThe best fryer I have ever used, bar none! Gets to temp fast, and maintains temp through the cook with little to no touch at all.
One item of notice. We placed our unit outside on the patio deck. The deck is not covered by a roof. The first morning after a cook I noticed that the temperature gauge had enough moisture in it to make reading the temp difficult.
Have now had the fryer for about a month and my opinion is the same. This is a great fryer! If you can put up with the cloudy gauge. You may not get a gauge like this one, but as for frying, buy it now!
This frier will change how often you fry and how well your food taste when you do. I say that because it is so easy to clean up, ease of use, and just how well your fried food will taste.
Buy it and enjoy!
