Best BBQ (gas) for the Cali? Help!

[pchmlk]

I’ve just bought the cadac safari chef 30 lite. Delighted with it so far. Runs on the little
Gas bottles so completely independent to the van. Works a treat!

I have searched and seen a few options but given my requirements I wondered what you guys would recommend?

After much struggling for some time now with a very small charcoal BBQ from Go Outdoors, culminating with it taking me several hours to cook 6 sausages at a campsite in Serbia (I almost drank all of the beer whilst i was waiting, photo for amusement!), i have decided I need a small portable gas BBQ, there are generally only 2 of us in the van for the majority of the time and it would only really be for most likely occasional use. I thought it might be good to have something than runs off the same gas bottle or the slightly smaller version or even some of the small canisters to save space. I know the Cadac is a likely contender but can you guys inspire me with what you'd recommend, ideally from experience. my girlfriend seems keen on a Weber, but they all look big and not that foldable to me. Please be clear on the model name etc so I don't go and buy the wrong one (pics also would be helpful)

Thanks in advance

I went with the Cadac safari 30 after asking the same question with 907 bottle and 907 for for the van hob, so plenty of gas if one runs out. The Cadac is quick and easy to set up and is a very versatile grill and doesn’t take up too much room. The gas is on offer at the moment from go outdoors as posted on forums here.

I have the bigger Cadac but if I were buying again I’d probably go for one of the cadac cook double burners with griddle pans - basically a bbq but way more versatile, 2 burners instead of 1 for outdoor cooking other food and probably a better shape for packing.

That's exactly what I've done. But unknowingly!

Our old stove was on its last legs so decided to get the Cadac 2 cook pro , we like the two plates and particularly that one has a lip to contain oil etc. the other has a ridged griddle . The non stick plates replace the need for separate flat pans / griddle etc. so save on space / weight.

So on booking Ile De Re we noticed NO campsite allows solid fuel BBQ.
We are BBQ nuts so decided to look at the available options.

We normally BBQ with a Webber go anywhere solid fuel,
We like the size and ease of use / results. We looked at every BBQ mentioned above and came to the conclusion than none did anything different to the Cadac 2 cook pro , most were a compromise, some looked hard to clean or park up , the Cadac 2 cook pro doubles up as a proper stove for kettle, large pans etc etc Win Win
