The Nexgrill 18 QT Aluminum Fish Fryer is a heavy-duty outdoor boiling and deep-frying pot with two strainer baskets, a 58,000 BTU burner, and CSA-certified safety features for fast, controlled seafood cooking.

Built for backyard cooks who want restaurant-style frying and large-batch seafood boils, this Nexgrill unit combines an 18-quart aluminum pot with two removable strainers, a high-output propane burner, an accurate thermometer, and a sturdy steel stand. It’s designed to heat quickly, drain simply, and hold up to high-temperature use outdoors, whether you’re frying fish fillets, boiling shrimp, or crisping fries for a crowd.

How does the dual basket design speed up cooking?

The included double strainer baskets let you cook two different items at once or stagger batches without cross-contamination. Each basket lifts independently for fast draining and reduces oil or water contact between batches.

• Two removable baskets for simultaneous frying or boiling
• Independent lift for easy draining and less mess
• Saves time when preparing mixed seafood and sides
• Helps keep flavors separate when needed

What makes the burner and heat control effective for outdoor frying?

The propane burner delivers 58,000 BTU to rapidly bring oil or water to the target temperature and maintain it under load. A CSA-approved 10 PSI regulator and a clear 5-inch thermometer give straightforward control to manage heat without guesswork.

• 58,000 BTU output for fast boil and steady frying temperatures
• 10 PSI CSA-approved regulator for consistent gas flow
• 5-inch thermometer mounted on the pot for instant temperature checks
• Stable flame control helps reduce oil temperature swings

Is the construction suited for frequent outdoor use and safety-conscious cooks?

The pot is forged from heavy-gauge aluminum to withstand high heat, while the pot sits on a rigid, knockdown steel stand with pot guards and tip protection. The package meets CSA safety standards, giving added assurance for outdoor events.

• Durable 18-quart aluminum pot for high-temperature cooking
• Rugged KD steel stand with pot and tip guards for stability
• CSA-certified components for reliable, approved performance
• Removable parts simplify cleaning and storage

How easy is setup, operation, and cleanup?

Assembly is tool-friendly and the knockdown stand packs away for storage. The baskets lift out for draining and the aluminum pot’s smooth surface wipes clean; the thermometer helps avoid overheating and wasted oil.

• Quick assembly with a compact footprint for storage
• Two draining baskets cut post-cook prep time
• Removable thermometer and regulator for safe transport
• Smooth pot interior reduces sticking and simplifies washing
