Gas One Outdoor Propane Deep Fryer
Score: 68/100Rankings
The R & V Works Cajun Fryer delivers high BTU power and an oil-saving V-shaped tank, making it fast and efficient for outdoor fry events. Assembly difficulty and missing detailed specs are notable drawbacks. Best suited for tailgate hosts and outdoor caterers who need volume and efficiency.
The GasOne B-5850 is a CSA-certified commercial-grade propane fryer with removable 16 qt baskets, built-in thermometer and regulator, suited for heavy-duty outdoor cooking. Its substantial weight and lack of wheels or disclosed BTU rating reduce mobility and make performance assessment difficult. Suited for permanent outdoor setups or commercial venues.

Professional reviewers and editors praise the Cajun Fryer for its high BTU output, innovative V-shaped tank that cuts oil usage, and portable wheeled stand, emphasizing its suitability for outdoor fish-fries and large gatherings. However, they criticize the sparse assembly instructions, outdoor-only limitation, and missing dimensional data, which can hinder planning and first-time setup.
Everyday users generally appreciate the quick unboxing, rapid heating, and ability to serve large groups, especially for tailgates and patio events. The most common concerns revolve around the tricky burner-angle adjustment, the extra step of lighting a pilot, and the time required to assemble the unit.
“easy unboxing, effective flame in jet tube, and quick readiness after oil fill (9 gal for 8.5-gal model), but flags steep initial burner angle risking issues if unadjusted.”
