I’m going to fry some shrimp and catfish and would like to get an outdoor burner. What can/should I get and where in Baton Rouge is the go to?
Update: Catfish, shrimp, hush puppies, fries all came out great! Temp is a bit of a challenge but I got a rhythm going.

Absolutely beautiful... I'm dreaming about the fish tacos I could make with that.

Nice! the fish too.
Check out the Loco two burner rig. Great for all outdoor cooking.

If you are wanting to spend money go to Goodwood hardware or Shenandoah hardware - basic set ups go to academy

I’m in the “buy once, cry once” philosophy on this. I’d rather buy one quality setup that will last a lifetime, rather than buy crap several times.
As has been previously mentioned, go to Ed’s or Goodwood depending on what part of town you are in to get a quality rig.

IMO .... If you will mainly be using this for at home / small gatherings, I would get something small. 37,000 GTU's max.
I bought this burner [LINK ] a few years ago. For just frying some fish for my wife and I, it is too big.
After using it a few times and struggling to adjust a very low flame to control the temperature, I came up with an idea. I got a bunch of small nails and put a nail in about half the burner holes. This blocked off about 1/2 the gas flow, and I could better control the grease temperature.
FYI --- this size burner does good for boiling small batches of shrimp or crabs. I have the larger size burner for boiling crawfish.

If you’re frying fish, just remember that you don’t need 1 pound of fish per person.

Check Galvez Hardware before Goodwood, they probably have the same thing and may be cheaper. Ed’s doesn’t have much anymore. If you’re close, go look, but don’t go out of your way.

If you just getting into cooking get a 5 gallon jamabaya rig. You could fry fish in it, cook a stew, gumbo, spaghetti, jambalaya, pastalaya, fry whole chickens. You will have to watch your temperature a little closer but you will get more use out of it than a stand alone fryer.

If you are just frying for a small family, you might consider a small electric fryer like the Presto 5qt dual basket fryer. It can turn out a decent amount of food. I keep mine outside and use it often.
For larger groups, consider a Cajun Fryer by R&V Works. They are built like tanks.

This is what I went with. I took all advice into consideration. Yes, it’s limited but I will know more about what I want next time in a year or two.

Get a banjo burner instead of a crawfish burner.
