i have a fryer similiar to this......i love it. but me and joshdomingue cook at at charity golf tournament every year and fry fish...the dang thing is loud. anyone ever came up with something to muffle this thing. its too loud to cook and have a conversation. we have 3 of them and can weld just wondering if i could weld something on the outlet tube to muffle it that wont look stupid

Adam, I have a 4 gal and never hear the noise since I am almost deaf anyway. The noise comes from the jet blowing fire into the square tube so if you want to decrease noise it would start there. I would build an open muffler around the holes you light the fire at (square tubing twice the size going into the fryer). That should help with the noise.

never paid that much attention to it I just assumed it came from the outlet end

I have the one on top right. Sound has never really bothered me. But when we're frying fish it's usually around a bunch of loud drunks so maybe that's what drowns out the noise.

Don't get yo ear too close to the flame but that's it.

lol

Fryers
 

I've used the 8.5 gallon 3 basket & 6 gallon 2 basket, and they both noisy. I think, to me at least, most noise comes from the exhaust tube outlet. Maybe if you could weld an attachment and funnel the noise towards rear of the fryer ( away from you ) it probably would help some. ???

Change the jet out for a normal stove top burner, unless you need the jet for fast heat. I've had both and the stove top burner is quiet.

Change da regulator
It might help
Full on to heat an turn down to maintain.
Never used it but have changed out regs to get better controll over gas

There's a baffle for air intake, right? Open it to heat the grease then close it (not all the way) to cook. That'll quiet it down drastically.
