Description
The Cookline CF40-NG is a 40 lb. natural gas floor fryer with 90,000 BTU of heat from three 30,000 BTU cast-iron tube burners. It is sized for restaurants, diners, quick-service kitchens and food trucks running fries, wings, onion rings and breaded appetizers all day, where slow oil recovery would back up the line. Three facts matter most: fast recovery from 90,000 BTU, millivolt controls that need no electrical hookup, and a cold zone that helps your oil last longer.
Why it holds up on a busy fry station
- 90,000 BTU through three tube burners: baffles inside the tubes improve heat transfer, so the oil climbs back to temperature quickly after a cold basket drops.
- Millivolt thermostat, 200°F to 400°F: no electrical connection is needed, which simplifies installation and keeps the fryer running if the power goes out.
- Cold zone at the bottom of the fry pot: crumbs settle below the cooking area instead of burning, which protects flavor and stretches the life of each oil change.
- Safety controls: a standing pilot with a safety valve that shuts off gas if the pilot goes out, plus a 450°F high-limit switch that cuts gas if the oil overheats.
- 1-1/4 in. full port drain valve: oil drains fast for filtering or disposal at the end of the night.
- Stainless steel fry pot, front and sides: resists corrosion and wipes down easily.

Before you order
- Gas type: this is the natural gas model. It is not set up for propane, so confirm your building’s gas supply before ordering.
- Gas connection: the inlet is 3/4 in. NPT. A licensed gas installer should make the hookup and check for leaks.
- Ventilation: fryers normally sit under a hood with fire suppression. Your local code and fire marshal have the final say on what is required.
- Space: plan for a 15.5 in. wide by 29.9 in. deep spot, with 47 in. of height on casters.
- Two fry baskets come with it. Oil is not included.

Common Questions
Is shipping free, and is liftgate delivery included?
Yes. Shipping is free to the lower 48 states and DC, with nothing added at checkout. Larger items ship by freight truck with liftgate delivery included, and the carrier calls ahead to schedule. Smaller items ship by parcel. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
Do I need a gas hookup or installer?
Yes. Gas equipment must be connected by a licensed gas professional. You will also need a flexible gas connector hose, which most equipment does not include. We sell a commercial gas connector kit with quick disconnect.
Is it natural gas or propane?
The specifications above show which gas type the unit ships for and whether it can be converted. If you are not sure which you need, call 877-558-2253 before ordering.
Can I pick it up instead of having it shipped?
Equipment like this ships directly from the manufacturer's warehouse, so pickup usually is not available. If you are in the NJ/NY area, call 877-558-2253 and we will check for you.
