I saw your cooker! That thing was puttin out some fish in a hurry.

I got on YouTube and did a little research last night. What I found there matches all your responses, there's tons more information about the Cajun Cooker than the Bayou Cooker. I can't even find what guage material the Bayou Cooker is built with. Advertising along with satisfied customers sells products!!

IronMan, if I cooked for groups larger than 20 on any regularity, I would go with a bigger model, but most of what I do is for groups that range from 5-15. Once in the past 5 years have I had to single handidly cook for a group larger than 25. I think that 4 gallon will do the trick!!

I appreciate all the responses! That some good information you guys put out. I said something about deep frying turkeys as Handi and a couple others suggested to the wife last night and she told me she would rather me debone the breast, wrap it in Wright's bacon and grill it! That pretty well decided the 4 gallon model!

Just let me know when the first fish fry is!!

Been following the post, I have been tire kicking an new fryer as well. This post pretty much sealed the deal....I'm buying a Cajun Cooker ;-)

Isn't the Bayou Cooker the one made in China. That would explain the lower price.

Kent, for what its worth now i have a 4 gal. Cajan Cooker. I do cook for 25-30 people every month and it keeps up fine. Its a good choice.

This is what I'm looking at. King Kooker V booton at Amazon for about $250.00

Amazon.com : King Kooker 2292 "V" Bottom Deluxe Multi-Purpose Portable Propane Outdoor Cooker Package : Outdoor Fry Pots : Patio, Lawn & Garden

If this is the case, I'll buy the American made product. I'll try to verify where each of the cookers are made.

Thanks for pointing that out!!
