Fry standing up. The leg extensions lift the 18 QT to about 41 inches, so you're not hunched over hot oil in a parking lot. Drop the tailgate, set the rig, fry.

The speed is in the pot. Hand-welded Tunnel Tubes on the bottom spread the burner's heat across the whole base, so the oil hits 350° in as little as 5 minutes and burns up to 75% less propane getting there. Fish, fries, wings, okra, hushpuppies. Game day now, Lent fish fry later, the driveway in between.

4mm aluminum, hand-welded in Louisiana. Patent No. 11,844,459. Full 2-year warranty on everything. Limited 5-year warranty on residential pots 120 QT or smaller.

What's in the kit

  • 18 QT Fish Fryer / Brazier Powered Pot, your choice of drain valve and basket — $285.00 to $340.00
  • Cooker Leg Extensions — $119.00
  • 5-inch stainless steel fry thermometer, the one that fits this pot — $15.99
  • 20-inch heavy-duty chrome wire mesh skimmer — $9.99

Kit price: $404 to $455, depending on the pot you pick. Every version saves about 6% against buying the pieces separately, between $25.98 and $29.98. The 1/4-inch valve with basket kit is $455; bought separately it is $484.98, so you save $29.98.

The kit price already includes the saving, so most discount codes won't apply to it. Welcome codes still work on everything else in your cart, and military and first-responder discounts still apply.


⚠️ Warning - California Prop 65
⚠️ WARNING: Since all of our products connect to propane tanks, they can expose you to chemicals including carbon monoxide and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, visit "https://www.P65Warnings.ca.gov":https://www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

HPC products come with a Full Two-Year Warranty covering all parts and labor for defects in materials or workmanship under normal residential use. Additionally, residential cookers 120 quarts or smaller include a Limited Five-Year Warranty on select structural components — including pot bottom tunnel tubes, powered cooker stands, and all welds on the entire pot.

Coverage does not include damage resulting from negligence, accidents, improper use, or cosmetic wear such as scratches, discoloration, or rust. For warranty service or replacement parts, contact HPC at support@hpcookers.com or 985-260-1505. For complete details, view the Full Warranty Information.

  • Tunnel Tubes hand-welded on the pot bottom: they spread the burner's heat across the whole base, so the oil hits 350° in as little as 5 minutes.
  • Up to 75% less propane: the pot absorbs more of the burner's heat instead of wasting it, so one tank goes further.
  • Leg extensions, about 41 inches: you fry standing up, not bent over hot oil on the pavement.
  • Powered pot, 4mm aluminum, hand-welded in Louisiana: the burner is welded on. Nothing to bolt together in the parking lot.
  • 5-inch fry thermometer, the one that fits this pot: you know the oil is at temp before the first basket goes in.
  • 20-inch skimmer: pull the stray bits out between batches so the oil stays clean for the next one.

Shipping Policy

HPC builds most orders custom, so typical ship times are 2–5 business days (or 4–10 business days during the busy season, March–May). Shipping costs generally run 10–15% of your order total — if your calculated rate exceeds that, contact us at support@hpcookers.com, as there may be a calculation error. For complete details, view the Full Shipping Policy.

Return Policy

HPC accepts returns within 30 days of receiving your item, provided it is unused, in its original condition and packaging, and accompanied by proof of purchase. To initiate a return, contact us at support@hpcookers.com — items sent back without prior approval will not be accepted. Non-defective returns are subject to a 12% restocking fee to cover return shipping and repackaging. For complete details, view the Full Return Policy.

Can I use a discount code on the kit?

Usually not. The kit price already includes the saving, so most codes won't apply to it. Military and first-responder discounts still do, and welcome codes still work on everything else in your cart.

What burner comes with it?

It's a Powered pot, so the burner is welded to the pot. There's nothing to bolt on.

Which pot options can I pick?

Drain valve or no drain valve, and with or without the fry basket. The kit price changes with the pot you choose, and every version saves about 6% against buying the pieces separately.

Can I put the leg extensions on a different pot?

Only three products take them: the 18 QT Fish Fryer, the 4-Way Fryer / Pasta Cooker and the 40 QT. They don't fit anything else in the lineup.

How fast does the oil heat up?

The 18 QT hits 350° in as little as 5 minutes. The speed is the Tunnel Tubes on the bottom of the pot, not the burner, and they're the reason it burns up to 75% less propane.

Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat. It distributes heat evenly, which helps to prevent uneven cooking. It reaches optimal boiling and frying temperatures quickly and stays there. Unlike the flimsy aluminum pots on the market, ours are twice as thick.

The general rule is to cook the turkey for 3-4 minutes per pound. After reaching the temperature in approximately 10 minutes and inserting your turkey, lower the PSI on your regulator to less than 1 PSI. The unit will hold the temperature perfectly for the entire time needed for cooking. Contact us if you have any questions.
