    I have 2 cajun fryers and I think it would be tough to find anything to beat them. Just put the needle in the green and the fish will turn out perfect every time. I have cooked for over 120 with the 4 and 8 gallon and they do a great job of holding their heat. You can even cook a turkey in them, but it needs to be a small turkey.

    I have a Cajun fryer and I bought a two burner outdoor kitchen on clearance from Tractor supply last year. It stands at roughly countertop height. It does a good job and saves your back.

    Guess it depends on how many you are cooking for........ If I'm cooking for more than 3-4 people I use this Carolina Cooker Deep Fryer Cooker Outdoor Propane 52509 | Agri Supply

    If I'm only cooking for a couple 2-3 I Just use my masterbuilt electric turkey fryer.......... Although I tell you for small batches it's hard to beat a cast iron pot with basket and simple burner...........

    I use a gas burner with a cast Iron pot that holds a gallon of oil with plenty of space. Heat oil to 350 to 400 degrees. The old heavy cast iron holds heat well and less likely to burn oil.

    I would love to get Cajun fryer. Got a buddy down the road that has a commercial fryer I can use when I have a big group to feed.

    We bought a 4 gal Cajun fryer last March. We cook for the kids and grandkids (8-14) and it is great. We cook for just then 2 of us most of the time, is it overkill maybe. We cook outside and there is no fish smell in the house. You can cook fish and hush puppies at the same time. We cook at 325 degrees holds the temp great. We changed oil in Dec just because it had turned dark, but there was no burned taste. I drain and filter the oil after each cooking and store the oil in the basement. I clean the cooker every fifth cooking. If you cook a lot of fish the Cajun fryer is something to look at. Worth the money
