I have another (cheap) thermometer that I check the built in one while heating oil. I have had the built in one to go bad and it is not a pretty site when you over heat.

I know it cost a little more but it is a nice fryer. I used the same oil for a 2 years and I use it at least once a month.
You will love it.

Right on crappie14. Years ago i was using a turkey fryer to fryfish. And i had it heating up on the deck while I was cooking some other things in the house. I couldn't get the oil to heat up. every time i checked it, it still wasn't 350 yet. Well I turned it up all the way and was standing there looking at it when POOF it went up in flames. I was in shorts and sandels I went to the truck and put on my fire gear and yelled to the wife to get me a pizza pan preferably one you don't want anymore. I did burn a spot on the deck but I saved the house. So yes check the thermometer!
