I have a americian turkey cooker, basically a bloody big gas burner under a bloody big pot. Deep fried turkey ( 30-40 mins all done) is great. Have done a leg of lamb, and was brilliant. Chicken wings, chips, bacon, bread etc... All great.
Havent tried oysters (as like them raw with nothing), but would cook them well for hethens.
The big key is the power of the burner. Ie you need to keep the oil temp up when adding stuff. If it drops to much, you get gresey food.

Then swap the oil for a water based mix (potatoes, chillis, salt, etc... ) and all kinds of stuff in it. Bloody great device
