I've got the Cadac Safari Chef used it to grill steaks on its ribbed grill, did a big stir fry in the wok/lid, and last week in Spain used the wok/lid as an oven for a full size pizza. All very successful and it all fits in a very compact zip up bag.Any advice on a portable BBQ for the Cali please?
I've looked at the Lotus Grills and the small Cobb.
Any experience?
Thanks

I have the Campingaz Party Grill; operates off a little campingaz cannister. There is one on Ebay at the moment for £25 plus postage with cary bag. I really like it.Any advice on a portable BBQ for the Cali please?

Let's be honest... You need a degree in engineering to get it to fit in the compact zip bag.I've got the Cadac Safari Chef used it to grill steaks on its ribbed grill, did a big stir fry in the wok/lid, and last week in Spain used the wok/lid as an oven for a full size pizza.

Oh thank you very much.Let's be honest... You need a degree in engineering to get it to fit in the compact zip bag.

The photos make the bag look plenty big enough, with space for the optional pizza stone.Let's be honest... You need a degree in engineering to get it to fit in the compact zip bag.
I think there's loads of space. But then I do have an engineering degree
Perhaps a degree isn't necessary...I do to and it's a Microelectronics degree which helps even further ;-) , although I still made small video when disassembling.
We've decided to go for the Cadac Safari 2 to complement our old camping stove and grill. It arrived today and looks like an excellent bit of kit, the pizza stone has been ordered separately and should arrive soon.As we where convinced by a lot of reading we started with the Compact Cobb but have now changed for the Cadac Safari 2. (So we have the Cobb for sale).
Hi KmannAs we where convinced by a lot of reading we started with the Compact Cobb but have now changed for the Cadac Safari 2. (So we have the Cobb for sale).
The Cobb was wonderful in its design, and there are so many other things I like about it. But we found it had problems getting warm enough – especially using the original fryingpan (Wok), and on many campisites it is not allowed to use charcoal/open fire barbacues. And most important, it is quite annoying to light a Cobbstone, that lasts for 3 hours, just to use the grill for 15 min. We considered the Cobb Gas, but it is quite bulky.
The Cadac Safari 2 is more compact, runs on the same gas as we already bring along (Campingaz 907), it gets really warm, really fast. Gives all the benefits from the Cobb - and it is a lot cheaper. We have bought another hose, so we can use both the 907 and the small cartridges.
So the setup now is - besides the kitchen in the Ocean - an extra campingaz 907 bottle, a Cadac Safari 2 and a cocker (Campingaz Super Carena) to put on top on the gasbottle. We also have a wok and a pizzastone for the Cadac.
All togehter it is a really versatile "kitchen" on the road. No matter if you want to make the full monty for dinner or just make some pankakes, fried eggs or a sandwich.
We do not fry inside the car. Only boiling and coocking. So it is great to have e great waraity of options.
