Greetings RT family, I cooked some Cod this weekend, I wanted it fried so I put a cast iron skillet on my Blackstone. I was going to use my Bullseye, but after my wing ding last week, I was terrified of another fire. It worked ok, just very slow getting oil to temp.

We really don't fry that often and don't like to inside as it creates a mess, smoke etc, but may want to occasionally.

What do you guys do for the occasional fry?
 
I do it in cast iron on the Weber grill. Just need to check the temp as it'll burn if I'm not careful. Heats up faster then the electric stove.

We have a frydaddy? Since it takes a large container of oil to fill up we then use it to fry anything and everything before the grease gets old. It is only a couple of times a year so we don't really worry about doing it inside. My wife bought 4 packages of LA crawfish a few weeks ago so we will be having fried crawfish soon I'm sure along with catfish. You can really tell the difference between the LA crawfish and the stuff they import from Asia.

I've been really interested in getting the Blackstone with 2 air fryers built into it. Just not sure the price justifies the use we will get out of it. I honestly don't think I would use the griddle part that much and that is a lot of money just for an air fryer. The wife and I also watched a video on youtube showing how they cook fries in the airfryer. It took almost 20 minutes. It doesn't take near that long in a real fryer so that kind of turned my wife off on the air fryer idea.
 
If I'm doing a fair amount of frying, I whip out my fryer. It makes the frying easy, but it uses a lot of oil and requires a fair amount of cleanup. If I'm doing a small amount of frying, I have a dedicated small stock pot that I just park on the stove. I started using a higher walled pot to minimize the mess and be able to use more oil to allow the temps to recover faster.

Now that I have a Blackstone, I guess I could try putting the pot over one of the burner zones and do everything outside. Thanks for the idea!

I modded the Bull to take a SideKick which has a +900 degree grill or a stove top. Works great.
