Know where a used one is for sale. But it in Ga. That will also be my next cooker.
Thinking about just welding one up. Its not that hard to build one like them.

Best fryer I every had I built using an oil pan from a Mack truck engine (Iam a diesel mechanic) Used the full metal pan not the cast stuff. Built legs for it and a bracket to mount a burner from an old tobacco barn. I put expanded metal over the shallow end of the pan and made a drain rack. The oil would run back into the pan. When finished cooking and oil had cooled just turned the ball valve I installed into the drain plug and drain grease back into jug. Worked so good somebody decided to relieve me of one night. Working on building a combo smoker fish frying trailer setup that will have gas, wood and charcol heat. Bout got it laid out.

We mostly use it when camping but occasionally use it in the backyard for shishkabobs or BBQ cabbage. That day we made BBQ cabbage!

I have to laugh at the irony. Fryer with extended legs and old gas grill on the ground used as a charcoal grill. :D D@mn I'm weird!

That made me laugh... I am mao:D

How do you store the oil between uses. I hear it goes bad. Can you freeze it?

If you use peanut oil and strain it after each use it will last along time, over a year. It doesn't need to be refrigerated. The grease doesn't spoil, the impurities in the grease will spoil. Just pick up a small metal mesh strainer at Walmart.
