When we turn on the fryer flames are shooting out of the exhaust. Is this normal?

my friend it looks as if you have a leaking frypot. Do not use this fryer untill the frypot is replaced it is dangerous to use in this condition.

The things you will want to check and correct are the burner venturi, this is where the gas and air mix (where you see the flame when it backfires), this being dirty or clogged will cause this problem, your burner at the top being dirty can also cause this. Also, be sure the orifice is clean. If possible you should also check the gas pressure and set it accordingly. The other thing to check is the burner tubes themselves, these are the tubes that go through the fryer, many times with this scenario the tubes are getting clogged. These tubes being clogged will not necessarily cause this problem, but you may as well clean them while you are there.
SOURCE: burners are bleeding gas causing rollout flames
multiple problems can be causing this: 1.burner orfice restricted 2. make up air 3. blower motor or relay defective 4.gas pressure to high 5. not enough gas pressure 6. restriction in gas line 7. defective gas valve 8. defective control or ignition module........recommend qualified tech. to look at

Hi there.
You should inspect the fire tubes, it is a tunnel under the fry tank where the burner flames suppose to travel to heat up the oil. Your fire tubes may be clogged with soot or carbon that's why flames cannot go thru the fire tubes. Fire tubes must be free of soot or carbon deposits.
Soot build up on fire tubes can be prevented by keeping the gas pressure at standard as much as possible, low gas pressure produce yellow flame or poor flame quality and in turn will produce soot.
Also, make sure that no air or ventilation is directed towards the flue riser, otherwise, the same will result, flames rolling back towards the door.
Regards.

Hi there.
The soot or carbon have probably build up inside the fire tubes, better check and have an authorized service technician clean them.
Make sure that the fryer is receiving the rated gas pressure and correct gas type as stated on the nameplate, this way, carbon or soot formation on fire tubes can be prevented
Regards.
