Available Options
The Tb-Fr16 is a 16-litre LPG gas fryer designed for outdoor street food operations, market stalls, gazebos, and outdoor catering events. It uses twin 8-litre tanks with 2 wire mesh baskets and manual gas valve temperature control — there is no built-in thermostat. A flame failure device (FFD) cuts gas supply automatically if the pilot flame extinguishes, supporting safe operation and insurance compliance for outdoor commercial use.
Commercial Application
This fryer is built for outdoor commercial catering — market stalls, gazebos, and outdoor catering event setups. It operates on bottled LPG without requiring mains electricity, making it suitable for locations without fixed utility connections.
Oil temperature is adjusted by turning the gas valve — operators learn the correct valve position for their product through experience. The FFD ensures that if the pilot flame blows out in outdoor conditions, gas supply cuts automatically before unburned gas can accumulate. This is particularly important for insurance and risk management in outdoor catering environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this fryer suitable for indoor use?
A: The Tb-Fr16 is designed and manufactured for outdoor non-domestic commercial use — market stalls, gazebos, street food events, and outdoor catering setups. Operators who choose to use it in enclosed commercial premises do so at their own discretion and must comply with local gas safety regulations and ventilation requirements.
Q: Does it have a thermostat?
A: No. The Tb-Fr16 uses manual gas valve control only. There is no built-in thermostat. Oil temperature is managed by adjusting the gas valve position. This is standard for outdoor LPG fryers in this category.
Q: What is the flame failure device (FFD) and why does it matter for insurance?
A: The FFD is a thermocouple safety device that monitors the pilot flame. If the flame extinguishes — for example due to wind in outdoor conditions — the thermocouple cools and automatically shuts off the gas valve, preventing unburned gas release. This safety feature is typically required by public liability insurers for outdoor commercial catering events.
Q: Does this run on LPG or natural gas?
A: LPG (propane) only in standard configuration. Conversion to natural gas requires replacement of the burner injector orifice and regulator adjustment. Contact TurcoBazaar for natural gas conversion enquiries.
Q: What oil capacity does the Tb-Fr16 have?
A: 16 litres total, configured as 2 × 8L with 2 baskets. Each tank operates independently with its own basket.
