Abstract
The present invention provides a deep fat fryer separating the flue from the splash back panel and with a flue opening directed not upwardly, but rearwardly from the flue. By arranging the flue opening on the rear wall, the opening is protected from grease fallback (e.g., dripping from an overhead exhaust hood) or other foreign objects falling into the opening. The splash back panel further provides a seamless curved design that is easy to clean and also insulated from the heat of the flue. A baffle installed within the flue allows the combustion products to mix, cool, and slow upon exiting the baffle opening and entering the atmosphere reducing the exit temperature and also reducing the heating of the splash back panel.
