Cadac Safari Chef - does it have problem or not?

[CaliCampMianch]

I recently bought a Cada Safari Chef, at first I was really happy and it seemed to burn with power. Then it started to become less powerfull and I thought it had to do with the fact that the gas cartridge was getting empty. However with a new gas cartridge the problem persisted. I screw the gas bottle directly to the Chef.
Anybody had this problem before?

No direct experience, but I am wondering if it may be temperature related.
Was the external temperature colder when you noticed the reduction in performance?

Yes, temperature will make a big difference. I never found the safari chef to have a particularly powerful flame at the best of times.

As above, could very well be due to low temperatures. I have a little thermal cover over my canister (got it from an angling shop) and it really helps the flame in cold weather.

I don’t have the issues you listed.

In fact I find that it burns too hot most of the time and I have to turn it down low.
