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.

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 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
- Reviewed in Canada on October 7, 2018Verified PurchaseLove it! Easy to use and not bad to clean up. Oil holds heat great as it holds close to 20 litres of oil. Also love that’s its propane, can be used anywhere! Have done 2 events now with 30-40 people and had no problem keeping up with this deep fryer cooking wings and fries!
- Reviewed in Canada on October 6, 2020Verified PurchaseI can not recommend this product. When you open the lid, there are large warnings that you can not leave the unit on and walk away. This propane unit does not regulate its own temperature at a 'set' point. Therefore, the warnings on the inside lid instruct the user to be checking the unit minimum every three minutes and to turn fryer off if temp exceeds 400 degrees or oil begins to smoke. (Catastrophe could ensue.) Not being able to SET a temperature for the oil is a huge safety risk. I returned the unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THE FRYER!!
Verified PurchaseFirst off, I hardly write reviews, but I did feel the need to write one about the Bayou Classic 4 Gallon Fryer. My wife and I have been in charge of cooking food for an annual Friday night dinner for our church campout for over 5 years. We have used the standard fryer basket setup over a propane burner for the last 4 years. I'm a very good cook, and even so, it was difficult to keep the temp at 350 degrees, and toward the end of the night, the chicken was picking up all of the burn batter that had stayed in the fryer. We constantly had to skim the oil to pull off the dirty oil. The fry stations were hot and sweaty because of the burners, and it was an over all chore. We cook about 250 individual pieces of chicken consisting of legs and thighs.
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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely an excellent fryer and a great value
Verified PurchaseI purchased this fryer for my Boy Scout troop who fries French fries twice a year at a local hill climb race. The race is a big event for our small town, and previously we were using two turkey fryers to do the job. Unfortunately, the turkey fryers were just not efficient enough to keep the oil at the proper temperature to ensure that we could fulfill demand. I did a lot of research on replacements, considering smaller 35-40lb commercial units, as well as units from other manufacturers that were this size or slightly larger. The only thing that concerned me about this fryer was the lack of specifications anywhere on the web, including the manufacturer's website, so I emailed their direct store to inquire about the specs. They promptly responded, saying that the BTU output of both this 4 gal model as well as the 9 gal model were about 50,000-60,000 BTU, and armed with this info, I purchased the 4 gal model. After using this fryer once at my house to fry 10 lbs of French fries and for two days straight at the race, I can definitely say that this unit is a terrific value. We fried about 175 lbs of potatoes the first day (about 6 hours) and just about 100 lbs the second day (about 5 hours), and the unit ran perfectly.
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just buy it!!! Perfect patio fryer!!!
Verified PurchaseBought two of these to do a fish fry for a company gathering of about 70 people. Used one for fries and the other for fish. Both worked flawlessly. Solid build quality, heats great. About 15-20 minutes from room temp to fry temp. If you have room get the cart. Worth the extra money. If you are setting it and not moving it, no cart is perfect. Fryer gets 2 solid thumbs up. Rotten tomato would give it 100%!!!
One downside though. The temp gauge has fogged over. Seems after a couple uses you can hardly see the needle.

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!
