Buy this.. it last a lifetime….the burner is in middle of oil, it lets flour or cornmeal settle at bottom and not burn..
Fish fry is gonna settle at bottom of pot and burn of your crawfish pot…

Highly recommend IF you cook a lot but pricey for limited use. I have the 4 & 6 gallon, church borrowed my 6 to cook for the Easter egg hunt today.
If OP lived close to LC I would def let him use one of mine.

If you are gonna spend that much I highly recommend checking out a used commercial fryer like what is used in a restaurant. They are easily found for sale on FB market place. I paid $200.00 for mine. Set the temp and forget it. Most come rigged for natural gas but the jets can be converted to propane.

Learned this other day watching the Food channel. Don't let the fish get covered in grease, so use a skillet and cook em with the grease about 1/2 way covering the fish. Way less greasy than letting them drop into grease and submerge them. So, I use a cast iron skillet and cook up to four fillets at once. And I cook em whole.

I (stupidly) did this last week on a jet burner and damn near ruined my aluminum pot with soot. Had other burners in the shed just was being lazy and figured it was worth experimenting. I was aware that if it was too hot I would melt the pot, so I kept it pretty low and by the time everything was finished cooking, I had 1/8" thick layer of soot more or less engrained into the bottom of the pot. Buy that $50 academy rig and don't look back.
