Cadac - tips please

I bought the paella pan to use with mine as it's non stick and use it for most things.done full breakfasts and all kinds of meats veg etc. It's basically  a gas grill rather than a bbq but it suits my usage requirements 

Clairenizzi, the Cadac Is not really a BBQ its just a gas hob with a selection of cooking surfaces for use outside, you will never get a BBQ taste with it. You will only get a BBQ taste with a charcoal BBQ.

i have a Cobb and use it with different wood chips to give a lovely smokey flavour.

i had a cadac for abount 3 years found it to be heavy pain to clean so sold it  dont miss it at all  bought a electric ring big frying pan lot easier and cheper bassett

We have had our Cadac for 3 years now and love it. As others have said it isn't really a BBQ so you won't get that charcoal taste from it but we do burgers etc on it a lot and they always taste great and it cooks very quickly. We bought the stone pizza tray for it too and that is fantastic the pizzas are excellent cooked on it. It can be difficult to clean but I have never found it too much of a pain. There are lots of things you can cook on it we have done currys, roast chicken, steaks etc all good it just takes a bit of getting used to like what surfaces to use for each food etc.

i wonder if you could clean it the same way i clean my george forman grill.  When finished i turn off the grill, put a wadge of damp kitchen towel in it and close the lid.  After we've eaten all i have to do is wipe it over, i'm fussy and then give it a spray of antibacterial spray and a damp wipe then to get rid of any trace of it.

RJLJ that's what I do with mine stick some water on it and the dogs get a gravy treat and it's not hard to clean that way.

basset1 can i take it that you always use electric, if so not much good if you are rallying

no dont go to rallying but if i go some where with no electric i take my gas ring out of my truck and take that with me bassett.

We have a Carri Chef 1 and really like it.  It takes the cooking outside - which we like.  It makes cooked breakfasts really good and it's much more controllable than a traditional BBQ.  True, it's not the same as a BBQ, but it feels like a BBQ with control.

It is the only outside cooking device we use these days - and in France, where certain sites don't allow a traditional BBQ, it means we can still cook outside.

They can be a pain to clean, but we have swapped the tin BBQ grill which came with the Cadac for a chrome/wire type traditional BBQ look-a-like (available from Towler and Staines), which we find much more straightforward to clean.  A traditional BBQ is a pain to clean anyway, so we don't find it too different to be honest.

We have a cooker in the caravan, so don't need one of these grills.......
