Cadac

Evening

I have the safari chef 1 and 2 (prefer the 1) Always light both with a long lighter. They don't like the wind at all and blow out easily but saying that I have the chef 1 semi permanent on a table with 3 sides made from thin ply, along with a 2 ring gas hob. Bit of an outdoor kitchen which has been ideal while we've had nice weather.

I have the Grillo Chef 2 with the grill plate and pan support and chef pan. I have not had any problems with The piezo ignighter or with it blowing out but I undestand that may depend on model. The legs detach on this model and are stored separately so the quick release connector does not cause issues. I use the grill plate as a conventional BBQ, the chef pan I use for Thai Curry ( the recipe/method is on a You tube video from Broadlane leisure Cadac demo). With the lid on  the temperature gets above 200 degrees C. I have had ours for 4 years now and am very pleased with it. I believe it is cheaper to buy the set with the extra pans rather than the base Caddac BBQ and add the extra pans later.

We have an early  version  Safari Chef which lights with a match.It is OK when off grid as we connect it to our AS M.H's external gas point - we have a built in gas tank so gas is less costly for us.As we are more often than not on EHU we tend to take a small Teppanyaki hot plate with us instead of the Cadac.Horses for courses really.The latter takes up less room which is an advantage in a PVC and we are already paying for the electricity.All depends on what sort of vanning  you intend doing really.We have been off grid on THS with the CCC this year a few times and the Safari Chef was very handy then.You pay your money and take your choice etcetera....

We are on our second Carri Chef both purchased at Obelink in Holland. It is used both when away and at home and is very versatile.

We use both the BBQ grill top, which gives a good BBQ look, and the skottel which, with the non stock liner, requires just a wipe with a paper towel and it’s clean.

We bought our first gas BBQ when charcoal ones were banned at sites we were staying on in France and would not dream of changing back to charcoal.

We now use the vans gas connector but for many years carried a 6kg cylinder, so the BBQ could be sited away from playing children, which also gives the ability to take it most places you might wish to dine alfresco.

Got myself a adac safari 2, love it, went away last weekend and used it 4 times already, all cooking done outside from BBQ to Thai curry to chicken stir fry to chilli con carne, we all love it, we had guests over 2 separate days and they loved it also.

Thanks for all the feedback.
