Anyone any knowledge of a small gas barbecue? We don't have loads of storage, not for large items, anyway, but would like to take one on our trip to France in May.

Seasoned MHers will know that standard barbecues are not welcome on many sites in France (and Spain I guess) but allow gas barbecues.

If we are to get one, we will need to get the MH in for some work to fit an exterior gas point.

Regards

Steve

Depends how small you want. This is quite nifty:

You will probably find it cheaper if you shop around, and it's very portable, so you can take it to the beach or wherever & don't need the umbilical from the van.

Get one of these. They fold up and stow MUCH better than a Cadac. What you save over the cadac will keep you in BBQ meat for two years. They are surprisingly good for £20 we used one for years, no scrubbing afterwards. Cadacs, cook well, but they are not easy to erect when under the influence. And the cleaning!!!! I will only use the Cadac if the kids are there to clean it. . Loads of people will tell you how easy they are to clean, just a wipe with a damp cloth, don't believe them. I like a beer during and after a BBQ and having to spend ages cleaning it afterwards ruins the occasion for me. You just have to light this one, burn off the burger and fat from the last outing and your ready to go::bigsmile:

Sorry to cross swords with the Matser of the Universe, Jim Lad, but we think the Cadac is pretty well unbeatable as a general cooking tool.

That said, my cooking involves eating, Fairy liquid and tea-towels. I'm pretty well stuffed, and the Senior Partner, is, well, pretty. Everyone happy.

Ever one to save a few pounds (sterling, not Troy), this looks interesting. What is it called? Any idea where they can be found? (other than your MH!)

The person that wrote this has a sense of humour, it looks a nifty bit of kit though

The one jim showed is a gas tabletop bbq (most camping/outdoor shops sell them) and they are good for bbqing i have one, i also have the compete cadac kit as this will cook everything from the bbq to a roast chicken and paella or a good english breakie

I wrote that. What's so amusing about it? It's light, compact & the gas lasts for ages.

A fun and practical alternative to a traditional stove or barbecue. This innovative multi-functional stove can do anything - from grilling to griddle cooking on a non-stick plate to flame cooking. (Ideal for drying seat of pants after stargazing in wet field whilst overtired and emotional).

Cleaning, storage and transport are all made easy as the Party Grill includes a fat collection tank, (high cholesterol dripping butties at a dunk) a detachable grid, lid-lock system and removable legs. (great for unblocking Portaloo).

Other features include, an Easy Clic canister connection, immediate heat control, piezo ignition. Boil time approx. 6 minutes for 1 litre. Operates off Campingaz CV270 and CV470 resealable cartridges. Weight: 2500g; Power 1350 watts (will double as Hubble telescope with requisite amount of Margarita imbibed).

as stated a good sense of humour

The easiest way to get all the gunk off Cadac griddle plates is, once you've finished cooking, turn off the gas, poor on some water and it will bubble away (stand well back as it can spit!), it will loosen all the stuck on stuff, then a wipe over with kitchen roll and job's a good-un!::bigsmile:

We Bought a cadac at the glasgow show haven't used it yet but it is a table top one and fits in a tidy bag and under our seat will have a look tomorrow to see what model it is. Looks the same as ones in the links but has no legs and can be used as an oven also.

Agree with Jim. I had one of these for years, minimal cleaning needed and manages to burn things just like proper charcoal:winky:

I would do what we did get the LP version you already carry that gas with your truck, why go for a different medium.?
