Cheap turkey fryer propane burner at Wally World

[columrick]

Stopped by local location to get something else, and saw a display of turkey fryers for under $40. The burner appears to be the same one as what I'm using. I paid a few bucks more online, so it may be a darn good deal for someone looking for a burner with more btu's.

Better pay close attention to how well the stand is made, a few BTU's either way won't make any difference when that cheap Chineese frame collapses under a heavy pot full of Pb.

I have a wally world fish fryer, square with straight legs and it has handled better than 100# Of course I gave the dear wife the cheap aluminum pot that came with it.

I have had that dutch oven totally full of lead


Closer view, the rusty cross pieces are just some angle iron I drop in to use the burner with small pots. The legs are cross tied together by braces that are welded to the burner pan and ring.


I also think it helps that the burner is on a very solid and stable surface. No twisting or uneven weight distribution to the legs.
