As I mentioned in my origianl post, I have
considered getting a turkey frying to use with my wok. I keep looking for
one on deep clearance that has the pot missing. I wouldn't be afraid of
using the burning with the wok on my deck which is right outside my kitchen.
It wouldn't be at all inconvenient except when it is raining or snowing.


The problem with most generic turkey fryers is they are designed to sit
low for stability and have the tall cooking pot at a convenient height
to add the turkey or ingredients if you do a seafood/crawfish boil.
This makes it an inconvenient height to stir fry, unless you find a
table of suitable height to bring it up to a convenient level.

So if you add the cost of generic discounted fryer + heat resistant
stand/table it equals the cost of a unit that is at a more convenient
height for wok cooking. I bought my unit mainly so the height was
convenient for wok cooking which was my main intended use. Seafood
boils etc are less convenient because the pot is now quite high on my
set up.

It looks like several manufacturers make units that are somewhat or very
adjustable for height and some even have an invertible burner set up so
that you can use flat bottomed pots for say seafood boil/turkey fry and
invert the support system to use a round bottomed wok.

Good point about the height.
