Caravan BBQ Options

I like my Cadac Safari Chef LP. Only annoyance is the piezo ignitor which has never been reliable despite Cadac sending me some ‘fixes’ in the early days. Quite a few others I’ve met had similar problems - maybe improved now? Otherwise a great bit of kit, very versatile, very portable and well made. 

Out of all caravan gadgets and accessories I have purchased over the years,the Cadac safari chef 2 has got to be the best and most used with value for money.

With all its different 4 cooking surfaces, and even the lid can be used as a wok.

Mine is an early version,with out the piezo ignition,when it come to replace it,I will be looking to replace with the same.

I do cover the cooking surface with foil for easier cleaning and possibly small if cooking for 4 people.

It’s probably just me, but I can’t help but think that the Cadac is nothing more than a fancy frying pan, on legs. 😉

We have owned Cadacs for about 20 years, swapping our original family size one for a smaller Safari Chef, perfect for just the two of us about 5/6 years ago.

I do not see it as a BBQ, for me a BBQ needs charcoal. It is excellent though for cooking outside, if you can get it level and out of the wind.

We use this and/or the Remoska every day when away.

To add to the versatility of the CADAC Safari Chef, I purchased a LP to HP cartridge assembly from Hamilton Gas Products. Makes it ideal for a beach BBQ etc.

How insightful-yes it is just you!!

Not in the BBQ set up with open grill and divert plate it isn't.

Or with the pizza stone.

I have Cadac BBQs but what ever gas BBQ you choose always cook on silicone sheets which can be easily cleaned with soapy water after use and put in the dishwasher when you get home and they last for years.  Saves all that messy cleaning.

I can see the point in using silicon sheets if using in frying pan mode. However, the main use for ours is in BBQ set up and silicon sheets would rather defeat the object of using an open grill.
