Deep fryer combustion burner system

A burner assembly system for a deep fryer, comprising:

• an aperture disposed in a side of a bottom portion at a rear of a fryer cabinet of the deep fryer;
• a self-cleaning burner coupled to and disposed proximate to the aperture at the rear of the fryer cabinet of the deep fryer and receiving fuel from the aperture, the self-cleaning burner disposed at the rear of the fryer cabinet of the deep fryer and comprising a cleaning tube including a plurality of perforations;
• a controller periodically controlling the flow of fuel to the cleaning tube;
• an ignition source disposed adjacent to the cleaning tube and igniting the fuel flowing to the cleaning tube;
• a flue disposed within and at the rear of the fryer cabinet, behind a frypot, that extends to a flue exit of the deep fryer immediately above the self-cleaning burner, the flue including at least one channel conveying heat through the cabinet;
• a heat exchanger disposed at the rear of the fryer cabinet of the deep fryer and disposed within the flue, the heat exchanger conveying heat from a flue gas traveling from the self-cleaning burner through the flue, to a cooking fluid passing through the heat exchanger;
• and
• a housing disposed at the rear of the fryer cabinet of the deep fryer, housing the self-cleaning burner, the flue and the heat exchanger;
• wherein an outlet of the self-cleaning burner, the heat exchanger and the flue are disposed completely behind the frypot.
