New Propane Deep Fryer with One Basket

The Hike Crew Outdoor Propane Deep Fryer turns any backyard, campsite, or tailgate into a professional-grade frying station capable of feeding a crowd in a single batch. Built around a 3.44-gallon oil capacity and 57,000 BTU maximum output, this stainless steel unit is engineered for serious outdoor cooking, not just casual snacking. A horizontal rear burner system channels hot air like a tunnel through the fryer body before it exits through a rear exhaust vent, delivering faster, more even heating than a standard vertical burner. Oil reaches the optimal 325-350°F frying range in under 10 minutes, stays cleaner for longer, and produces consistent results from the first batch to the last - golden chicken, crisp fries, shrimp, onion rings, and more.

Precision control comes standard. A weatherproof push-button igniter lights the burner instantly, a color-coded built-in thermometer keeps oil temperature visible at a glance, and a dedicated flame regulator valve lets you fine-tune heat output with accuracy. The large stainless steel fry basket, fitted with a cool-to-touch handle, makes loading and serving large portions simple and safe, while a built-in drain lever with flexible hose makes emptying oil for changes or seasonal storage fast and mess-free.

Setup is engineered to be frustration-free. All hardware and an Allen wrench are included, and clear markings on the fryer body pair with a detailed illustrated manual to guide assembly step by step - no separate tools required. A CSA-approved gas regulator and hose assembly connect securely to any standard 20-lb propane cylinder, sold separately.

For those building a complete outdoor cooking setup, an optional side shelf assembly adds instant counter space at either or both side handles, and an optional wheel assembly - which replaces the left-side legs - adds rolling mobility with locking stoppers to keep the fryer steady while in use. Both accessories are sold separately. Adult assembly is required.
