Frying apparatus of the invention includes a vessel for containing deep fat in which the chicken or other foods are cooked, surrounded by an annular heat exchange chamber and a gas-fired burner. The gas-fired burner is positioned at an inlet into a combustion chamber communicating with the heat exchange chamber, and ignited gas-air mixture enters the heat exchange chamber and is directed in a substantially horizontal flow path by turreted, elongated flanges attached to a wall, preferably the inner wall, of the heat exchange chamber. Gases leaving the heat exchange chamber are channeled through an exhaust system in which the air flow is monitored so that if the exhaust pipe is obstructed, the apparatus will shut down instantaneously and will not restart until the obstruction in the exhaust pipe is removed. The apparatus will then reignite automatically. The gas burner has a plurality of spaced apart slits for flame emission separated by tapered grooves.
