Floor fryers stand on legs or casters and hold 40 to 80 lb of oil, heated by gas burner tubes rated 90,000 to 150,000 BTU. Most use millivolt controls with a standing pilot, so they need a gas line but no electrical outlet. The heat per pound of oil sets how fast a full basket comes back to temperature, and a full-port drain valve and a deep cold zone make the daily oil filtering easier. They need a commercial hood and a gas connection installed by a pro.
