We looked at several aspects when choosing the best stands, from objective measures such as physical dimensions and design to subjective considerations of look and feel. Though we have a variety of recommendations across various styles, all of our picks satisfy criteria that suit most people, thereby reducing the confusion of choice.
While you may find a stand for any aesthetic preference, we looked for stands that had simple, elegant designs - ones that would appeal to most people - rather than models that adhered to specific aesthetic choices.
Note: It doesn't mean that the stands that aren't mentioned here are bad. We picked these because these will help most of the people. If you have very specific preferences, we suggest you consider one of the below-mentioned products as a starting point before finalizing your pick.

The king kooker propane turkey fryer stand is suitable and reliable and fits well with your daily usage. This works great outdoors but you have to use a fryer thermometer to regulate the heat, it heats up very rapidly. It comes with 2 frying baskets, a low profile frying pot (not a turkey fryer), thermometer, and propane supply hose. It cleans up and stores quite easily.
The pan provided fits perfect in the burner base and it does have a little lip so what pan you use would either have to fit in the lip or completely cover the lip so it stays flat and even. It is perfect for frying hush puppies and egg rolls. The stand and burner are made well.

The king kooker turkey fryer might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year. It is made of heavy duty welded outdoor cooker. It includes pots that are heavy duty and one lid. There are 2 pots/pans, lids, thermometer and the burner/ gas hose itself is over-the-top. It comes with an electronic igniter switch.
The pot is made of good quality. The pots are aluminum and a bit thin, so. It is made for propane you would need to change regulators and flame orifices. It comes with a lot of extra pots and strainers that most people will never use.

Worked great and provided a delicious thanksgiving dinner
Worthy purchase, avoids the house smelling like grease
