Hurricane Bay is HeberMade's fish fryer line, built in a Heber Springs machine shop. The HB-4 starts with a V-drain pot that fixes the tipping problem on every fryer on the market. Twelve-gauge steel, twin prep tables, made to last a generation.
HeberMade is a small Arkansas maker turning American steel into kitchen and outdoor goods. Hurricane Bay is the fish fryer line. Both brands share one shop, one team, and one stubborn refusal to ship a product they would not own themselves.
The HB-4 fish fryer started with a problem every fryer cook knows. Old designs have a flat-bottomed pot and a side drain, so you have to tip the whole thing to clean it. Hurricane Bay slants the bottom and drops the drain underneath. Oil leaves on its own, the basket drips back into the pot, the prep tables let two people work at once.
The brand sits in the Americana lane on purpose. Charcoal, orange, Old Glory blue, brick. Storm-named hardware, hand-set type, the kind of catalog feel buyers at Walmart and Cabela's already know.
The slanted bottom plus a downward-pitched drain means used oil leaves on its own. No tilting a hot pot, no two-person cleanup.
Built-in resting bar over the pot. Drain a basket of catfish without losing the oil to the deck.
One for raw, one for done. Two people can work the same fryer without colliding, which is half the reason fish fries get backed up.
Welded, powder-coated, and built in Heber Springs to outlast the rest of the gear in the garage.
Nine recipes to start. Catfish to lead, plus frog legs, hush puppies, and the rest of the lineup any Southern fish fry expects.
Open the regulator for more flame, close it down for a softer simmer. Standard tank, no special hookup.
