How do you cook your critters?

This is my lil gittyup... Anything fried gets cooked in black iron on gas. My house is all electric, electric stoves just don't cut it.
I prefer yellow cornmeal mix, add black pepper until visible, add Lawyrs seasoned salt until salt can be tasted. Perfect! I love Orida shoestring fries but I recently bought a fry cutter. Cut em', soak em' (removes the starches) fry em' up, throw the Lawyrs to em'. I VERY rarely reuse fish grease. I refuse to cook fish without thermometers, I get ridiculed by folks but my cookin is consistent!
Where the smoker comes in "Big Daddy's Cooker" we cook a hog once or twice a year. Nothin but pure Hickory! Who's heard of "Oak Smoked BBQ"? Not me!
I make a "Carolina" sauce which is mustard base. We like to eat good, feed lots of folks, and drink lots of beers, wash it all down with some Arkansas Apple Pie

not the pie you eat.....

Two words for frying - Cajun Fryer. Add 5 gal of Riceland rice bran oil evry six months. We cook once or twice per week year round - fish, frog legs, taters, anything. Oil is like new if you strain it bout every 10 cookings. Best $ I ever spent.

How many $$ ?

Got mine for $304 after taxes. It's the 4 gal model. That's a lot of $ for a cooker, but I promise it's worth it. You can cook for two people or a ton of people with about the same amount of effort and no clean-up!

I spend twice that much a year on oil. I was just telling someone today I hate when the meat burns on the bottom then sticks to the fish.
How does your cooker work? What is different?

You'll never have that problem again. Check em out at cajunfryer.com. They have good explanation of the design on there - it's definitely one of those 'why didn't I think of that' type deals. R & V Works out of near Shreveport makes them. Quality product.
