Overview
The Bayou Classic 700-185 is a propane-fueled outdoor cooker with a stainless steel build in a silver finish. At 25.75 x 16 x 9.75 inches and 10.2 pounds, it is light enough to carry to a patio, tailgate or campsite setup.
Bayou Classic's outdoor cooker line covers everything from turkey fryer bases to compact camp stoves, and the 700-185's stainless construction is aimed at resisting rust better than painted steel alternatives. At just over 10 pounds it reads as a portable single or dual burner unit rather than a full outdoor kitchen piece.

Who it's for
Anyone who wants a propane cooker that can move between the yard, a tailgate and a campsite without needing a cart. Less suited to cooks who want a permanent, built-in outdoor cooking station.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Stainless steel resists rust outdoors
- Under 11 pounds, easy to transport
- Compact footprint fits tight patio or camp setups
- No stated BTU output or burner count
- No cover or storage bag mentioned
Performance notes
Propane gives faster startup and more consistent heat control than charcoal or wood, which matters most when boiling large pots or frying at a set temperature. Stainless steel resists corrosion better than the painted steel used on cheaper cookers, an advantage outdoors where units sit exposed to weather.
