IMPORTANT NOTE TO CONSUMER
In addition to regular cooking, this stockpot can be used for frying whole turkeys or chickens on outdoor gas cookers. It can be used on most brands of outdoor gas cookers which have far greater heat output than traditional kitchen stoves. Same as kitchen stoves, outdoor gas cookers do not have automatic thermostat controls so must be attended and monitored at all times during use. Never attempt frying whole turkeys or chickens on indoor kitchen stoves.
Carefully read, understand and follow these instructions and warnings along with those on your cooker. If you no longer have your cooker instruction manual, in most cases one can be downloaded from the brand’s website. If you do not have or cannot obtain your cooker instruction manual, this manual does contain generic gas cooker instructions and warnings. If you are unsure or have doubts about how to properly ignite and operate your gas cooker, then do not attempt any form of outdoor cooking or frying!
This stockpot can be used for frying whole turkeys/chickens on Bayou Classic® cooker models SP10, SQ14, 1114, SP1 having gas pressure ratings of 10 psi and cooker height below 14" tall. Do not use this stockpot to fry whole turkeys/chickens on Bayou Classic® cooker models KAB4, KAB6, SP2, SP40, SP50, B135, B159, 2212 as they either have pressure ratings above 10psi or have a height above 14" tall. Bayou Classic® cooker Instruction Manuals can be downloaded at www.thebayou.com.
WARNING
Do not fry turkeys larger than 18-lb in this stockpot. Turkeys above 18-lb can increase the chance of an oil spill over and fire which can cause severe burns and/or property damage.
This stockpot is designed tall and narrow so that it can be used for frying whole turkeys while minimizing the use of cooking oil. However, safely inserting and removing a whole turkey from a tall stockpot requires a low profile cooker frame.
WARNING
Do not fry whole turkeys on cookers taller than 14" (inches) high. Use of a tall stockpot on a tall cooker frame increases the risk of tipping and spillage of hot cooking oil when inserting or removing a turkey, which could result in a flash fire and severe burns.
This stockpot can be used for frying whole turkeys on high pressure gas cookers having a pressure output ranging from 5 psi to 10 psi (Pounds per square inch).
WARNING
•Do not fry whole turkeys on outdoor gas cookers having a pressure rating above 10psi.
Frying with this stockpot on gas cookers having a pressure rating above 10psi can accelerate the possibility of overheating cooking oil to the point of spontaneous combustion and fire.

WARNING
COOKING WITH OIL OR GREASE
•Outdoor gas cooker appliances do not have automatic thermostat controls so must be attended and monitored at all times during oil heat up and frying.
•The maximum size turkey for frying in this stockpot is 18-lbs.
•The maximum amount of oil for frying in this stockpot is 3.5 gallons.
•When cooking with oil/grease, the thermometer provided must be used. Follow instructions in this manual for proper testing, installation and use of the frying thermometer.
•Follow instructions contained in this manual for proper positioning of a cooker and
gas leak test, determining proper amount of oil to use, heat-up and frying operation, cleanup and storage.
•Cooking oil pre-heat up to over-heat times can vary significantly with relatively small adjustments to regulator; variable wind, ambient temperature, altitude, starting oil temperature, and type of cooking oil used.
•Due to varying heating and cooking times, check the provided thermometer every 3 minutes to ensure cooking oil does not exceed 400˚F (200˚C). Gas cookers are an ATTENDED appliance. DO NOT leave appliance unattended while heating oil/grease, cooking food or cool down period after use.
•Do not allow cooking oil/grease to exceed 400˚F (200˚C) which is the FIRE HAZARD zone on the thermometer. Cooking oil/grease will ignite and catch fire at 550˚F to 700˚F (287˚C to 371˚C).
•DO NOT use a lid when pre-heating or cooking with oil. Using a lid when frying greatly increases the potential of over-heating the oil to ignition and fire.
•Smoking oil is an indication that the oil is too hot and may ignite. Regardless of thermometer reading, if the oil/grease starts to smoke, turn OFF fuel supply to the burner and
STOP COOKING IMMEDIATELY. This indicates the thermometer is not working properly. Discard the thermometer and call 1-800-864-6194 M-F 8am - 5pm CST for assistance. Replacement thermometer Model #5025.
•Never overfill the cooking vessel with oil/grease or water. Follow instructions in this manual for establishing proper liquid levels for cooking.
•When frying with oil or grease, all food products MUST be completely thawed and towel dried to remove excess water. Failure to completely thaw and dry foods may cause oil or grease to overflow from cooking vessel. If ice is present on the food, it means the thawing process is not complete and may cause a boil over when placed into HOT oil causing a fire and severe burns.
•Never drop food or accessories into hot liquids. Wear protective gloves and S-L-O-W-L-Y lower food and accessories into cooking oil in order to prevent splashing or overflow. Be careful when removing food from oil. It is hot and could cause burns.
•In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other form of precipitation while cooking with oil, cover the cooking vessel and immediately turn off the burner and gas supply. DO NOT MOVE cooker or cooking vessel.
•When cooking with oil/grease, have a BC or ABC type fire extinguisher readily accessible.
•Never attempt frying whole turkeys or chickens on indoor kitchen stoves.
•The cooking vessel remains at scalding temperatures long after cooking has ended. Allow appliance to cool below 115˚F (45˚C) before cleaning or storing. Cool down period varies with amount of oil/grease used, wind and ambient temperature.

WARNING 
GENERAL OPERATING WARNINGS for Outdoor Gas Cookers
•Outdoor Gas Cookers do not have automatic thermostat controls so must be attended and monitored at all times during use.
•Gas Cookers have an open flame. In sunlight or other bright light, the flame may be almost invisible. Use extreme caution keeping hands, hair and clothing away from the cooker. Do not lean over the cooker when lighting burner. Loose hair and clothing can catch fire during lighting and operation.
•Gas Cookers are an ATTENDED appliance, DO NOT leave gas appliances unattended while heating oil, grease or water, cooking food or when hot after use (oil, grease or water above 115˚F: 45˚C). Heated liquid can remain at scalding temperatures long after cooking has ended.
•When cooking with oil/grease, the provided thermometer must be used to monitor temperature. Check the thermometer every 3 minutes to ensure cooking oil does not exceed 400˚F (200˚C) which is the fire hazard zone on the thermometer. Oil/grease heated above 400˚F (200˚C) will ignite and catch fire causing property damage, personal injury or death.
•Even when burner is set at a low flame, never leave a gas cooker unattended. Cooking oil/grease will heat up quickly and ignite at 550˚F to 700˚F (287˚C to 371˚C).
•Keep children and pets away from the cooking area at all times. Carefully monitor all activity around cooker to avoid burns or other injuries.
•Gas cookers and stockpots will be extremely hot during and after use. Use insulated oven mitts or gloves for protection from hot surfaces or splatter from cooking liquids. Always wear closed toe shoes while cooking with any gas appliance.
•Use caution when walking or standing near cooker as splattered oil may have created a slick surface. Do not walk between cooker and propane tank as this creates a trip hazard. Tripping over the hose could overturn the cooker.
•Avoid bumping of or impact with the appliance to prevent spillage or splashing of hot cooking liquid which can cause sever burns.
•DO NOT move the cooker and stockpot when in use. Allow cooking vessel to cool down to 115˚F (45˚C) before moving, cleaning or storing.
•Should the burner flame go out during use, turn all gas valves off. Wait 5 minutes for gas to evacuate before re-lighting. Follow your cooker’s Instruction Manual for lighting and re-lighting your gas cooker.
•Never overfill a cooking vessel with oil, grease or water. Overfilled cooking vessels can boil over and cause a fire. Follow instructions in this manual for establishing proper liquid level.
•After a period of storage or nonuse, check the cooker for gas leaks before use. See instructions in this manual for correct procedures.
•DO NOT place an empty cooking vessel on a gas cooker while in operation as it could melt. Use caution when placing anything in a cooking vessel while the cooker is in operation.
•Children can fall a into cooking vessel and drown in even a small amount of liquid. Keep cooking vessel out of reach of children. Do not store your cooking vessel with liquid inside.
•When cooking with oil/grease, have a Type BC or ABC fire extinguisher readily accessible.
•Combustion by-products from the use of gas cookers contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
