R&V Works 8.5 gallon Cajun Fryer

I wouldn't spend the money on a unitasker.

I'd buy a large cast iron pot and burner that can be used for frying, jambalaya, gumbo, pastalaya, etc.

I have a 5 gallon, 2 basket rig. I don't know what your model looks like, but these things are beasts when it comes to belting out fried food fast. You better be interested in cooking large volumes.

I am looking for something when frying for 300-1000 people.

Ahh, yeah. That certainly changes things.

Have the four gallon, love it, mine was the first generation and things I hope they have improved on is having a bigger drain, mine has a 1 inch line/valve and a 2 or 3" would be better to get all the crunchies out,also wish it had better bigger wheels to make it easier going over rough terrain, the ones on mine are fine for concrete but a bitch on grass ( usually have to go on grass to clean out)

But for the intended purpose they are great, they will regain temp in no time, even after dropping two baskets of frozen fries
