Giles GBF-80G (71788 / 71872) — 21-3/4" Gas Floor Fryer, 80 lb, 80,000 BTU
The Giles GBF-80G is a high-efficiency gas floor fryer with an 18-inch square vat that holds 80 lbs of shortening, in a frame only 21-3/4 inches wide. Its 80,000 BTU patented heat exchanger (U.S. Patent 10,928,140) cooks evenly with rapid recovery while producing significantly lower flue stack temperatures, and Giles reports efficiency in the top 95th percentile of gas fryers tested by California's Energy Wise program. Each load cooks 26 lbs of 8-way cut chicken without baskets or 5 lbs of fries, and a deep cool zone helps limit crumb carbonization. The computer controller stores 50 presets with Cool Mode, Force-Filter, Low Oil, Boil-Out, password protection, and a multi-language display, and an on-board filtration system with a 1/2 hp pump can extend oil life by 50%. It is built in Montgomery, Alabama, as item 71788 (natural gas) or 71872 (LP gas).
