Outdoor Deep Fryer

Hey everyone, looking for some help in picking out a deep fryer. On cooking issues, Dave Arnold frequently talks about deep frying as being "God's way of cooking". He also frequently laments indoor countertop deep fryers as being terrible, as they lack heat capacity, are underpowered, and don't have an oil cool zone for particle collection.

He talks frequently about his outdoor propane deep fryer being "awesome", but for some reason has completely refused to answer my emailed question as to what kind of fryer he uses. I think he hates me. I try to make him love me by buying everything he makes, but alas.

Anyone have experience with these? The two that seem more popular 'pro-sumer' include this and this.

Do you use twitter? I find that Dave typically responds to a short tweet. I have no experience with backyard fryers, but from listening to Cooking Issues, it appears that they both "check all of the boxes". In either case, I don't think you could be labeled an "enemy of quality."

"I try to make him love me by buying everything he makes"

It just occurred to me that I've bought everything he's made. Spinzall included. You're not the only one.

As far as getting in touch, twitter seems like the best bet (@cookingissues)

I don't know anything about fryers, but Ed Lee recently added the Spadius H2Oil deep fryer to his kitchen and seems to love it as far as I can tell. You pour oil on top of a layer of water, which sounds crazy but it allows particulates to drop out of the oil during cooking, so your oil stays clean.
