The Comstock-Castle CDFL-F-1 Corn Dog Fryer
The Comstock-Castle CDFL-F-1 is a 16-inch floor-model corn dog fryer, built for concession stands, fairgrounds, sports venues, and high-volume corn dog programs that need a unit holding production temperature through full service without losing performance. The CDFL-F-1 is engineered for frying battered corn dogs at high production volume on a floor-stand chassis.
In a real kitchen, the 80,000 BTU output drives the 16-inch cooking surface at production temperature through service, with heavy cast iron components that hold heat between batches and recover fast when fresh product hits the unit.
This is the right call for tight-counter or single-station operations. If you need to handle higher product volume per service, the wider siblings in the same series carry more capacity.
80,000 BTU of Gas Output Driving the Cooking Surface
The unit fires 80,000 BTU across the 16-inch cooking surface, using cast iron burners or radiants that hold heat through wave after wave of cold product. Brass valves with standing pilot let the unit run on gas alone, no electrical hookup needed.
Welded Stainless Steel Body on Adjustable Legs
The CDFL-F-1 body is welded stainless steel with an angle iron and aluminized steel inner frame, set on adjustable stainless feet so the unit levels on any countertop or floor. Welded construction holds up under hot-cold cycling and daily pan abuse where bolted construction works loose after a season of service.
Brass Gas Valves with Standing Pilot, No Electric Hookup Required
Each control runs its own brass gas valve with a standing pilot, holding up against grease ingress where plated-steel valves pit and seize after a year of line service. No electrical hookup means the unit keeps running through a power outage as long as the gas line stays live.
About Comstock-Castle
Founded in 1838 in Quincy, Illinois, Comstock-Castle is America's oldest stove manufacturer still in operation. The company grew from a frontier hardware shop into a grey-iron foundry that helped make Quincy the nation's stove-production hub by the early 1900s. Seven generations later, Comstock-Castle still designs and union-builds commercial cooking equipment in the same Quincy facility, with ranges, griddles, charbroilers, fryers, and modular cook lines configurable from 24 to 72 inches to match your menu. Built to outlast the kitchens that put them on the line.
