Overview
The Bayou Classic 1118 is a stainless steel outdoor cooker, roughly 11.6 by 11.6 by 15.4 inches and weighing 27.22 pounds, built as a standalone burner unit for outdoor cooking tasks such as boiling and frying.
Bayou Classic's outdoor cooker line generally targets high volume cooking like seafood boils, turkey frying and large batch canning, and the compact 11.6 inch footprint paired with a 27 pound weight fits a sturdy stand mounted burner rather than a full kit with pot included. Stainless steel construction is intended to hold up to repeated outdoor use and sustained heat.
