Product Description

The Dukers DCF5-LPG is the highest-capacity fryer in this liquid propane range — 70 lbs of oil heated by five tube burners for a combined 150,000 BTU/H, in a 21-inch wide floor cabinet. It is the model for LP sites running genuine volume: festival kitchens, large catering operations and remote locations without a piped gas supply.

Liquid propane only

The DCF5-LPG is built for propane at 10" W.C. and is not a natural gas appliance; the NG version is the DCF5-NG. At 150,000 BTU/H this fryer draws meaningfully on a bottle supply, so size the tank and regulator for continuous operation rather than intermittent use — an undersized LP supply will frost the bottle and starve the burners exactly when the fryer is working hardest.

70 lb reservoir, five burners

Five cast iron tube burners at 30,000 BTU/H each run through the oil. The reason to move up to a 70 lb tank is temperature stability under continuous load: with more oil in the vessel each basket of cold product pulls the temperature down less, so the last order of a rush comes out the same as the first. Larger volume also means each pound of oil does less work, stretching the interval between filtering and replacement.

Dimensions and delivery

The cabinet is 21" wide, 32-7/8" deep and 45" high — the same depth and height as the DCF3 and DCF4 but 5-1/2 inches wider, so verify the gap in an existing battery before ordering. Net weight is 220.46 lbs and shipping weight 246.92 lbs in a 37-5/8" x 23-3/8" x 35-3/8" crate; arrange lift gate access and help for final placement.
