Bayou Classic Turkey Fryer Kit

The 30-quart aluminum stockpot is designed to accommodate a whole turkey weighing up to 18 pounds. It is important not to exceed this weight to ensure there is enough room for the oil to displace safely without overflowing.

The integrated timer is a safety feature that automatically shuts off the gas flow every 15 minutes. You will need to manually reset the timer during the cooking process to keep the burner running, which helps prevent the oil from overheating if left unattended.

Absolutely. While it is optimized for frying poultry, the large capacity makes it excellent for boiling seafood, steaming vegetables, or preparing large batches of chili, soups, and stews.

Yes, the burner delivers 32,500 BTUs, which provides plenty of heat to bring large volumes of oil or water to a boil relatively quickly, even in cooler outdoor temperatures.

Always use the kit on a flat, non-combustible surface like concrete or dirt, never on a wooden deck. Keep a fire extinguisher rated for grease fires nearby, monitor the oil temperature constantly with the included thermometer, and ensure the turkey is completely thawed and dry before lowering it into the oil.

The kit includes the stockpot, burner, stand, poultry rack, lift hook, thermometer, and seasoning injector. You will just need to provide your own propane tank and the cooking oil of your choice.
