Cadac Question (1 Viewer)

[DangerMousy]

So what's the latest on price, off to the Motorhome show in Manchester on Friday and cheapest I've found to beat so far is £89 for the safari chef 2. If there cheaper there I'll get one
Thanks.

I wasn't impressed with the Cadac stand at the NEC show last October - no special offers, they were just selling them for full price (£99 I think).

Cheapest I can find:

£79.99 + £3.95 p+p = £83.94 delivered and if you sign up for their email newsletter you get a voucher but not sure what that is.

http://www.campingworld.co.uk/en/gb/Cadac-Safari-Chef-2-LP/m-18446.aspx

That's a pretty good price, and they're a good shop too (I've used them many times). I think they send you a 10% off voucher for signing up to their newsletter but I'm not sure. They also tend to send out 10% codes a few times a year via email - but the Cadac may be back up to full price by then though.

This is another place worth keeping an eye on - we got our Safari Chef 2 for £76.50 delivered a few months ago when they had a 15% off code on their website. They're more expensive than Campingworld at the moment though.

That's a great price @Minxy Girl thanks,
@DM23 also noticed there were no savings at the NEC. Bit disappointing but will still wait and see what's on offer Friday.
Thanks

We picked up the Grillogas in a sale from Milletts online a couple of years ago, who misadvertised it as having the reversible grill, so got another discount due to that. Think we paid circa £60 for it, one of the better accessories we've bought for the van, its used a lot when we're away.

I've been using my Cadac for years now and love it, but more recently I bought a paella pan for it, which gets used a lot more than any of the other plates.

....or to be more precise, a large two handled frying pan

Bought a safari chef 2 at the Manchester show, nice couple on a stall selling cadac's gave me a demo and said normal £115 or show price £95 and what did I think. Said I could buy one for £80 + postage so he dropped his price to £89, close enough for me

There is a general price difference of £10 due to the cheaper uses a bottle, that fits under the cooker. The dearer one you can hook up by regulator to a calor bottle or your MoHo system. Saves carrying another bottle of gas around with you. If buying on Ebay, not always clear which fitting, is the one on offer.
Bought ours last October for £105 including 4 metres of tubing, clamps etc.

Had a look at the NEC today and although they say it's a show special price of £199 for the Carri Chef 2 with griddle and pan, you can buy the same rig on Amazon for £10 less and have it delivered to your door

not really......it's quite a different shape to a frying pan and certainly does the job differently

 

[MillieMoocher]

Bought mine last year at Go Outdoors . Can't remember how much it was, there are so many variations but it's the big size with regulator gas connection and paella pan. Very happy with it.

Still have offers on for example Broken Link Removed


Also members of C&CC get extra discount too, think it's 10%.

We have an outlet about 10 miles away so collected at store, so can't comment on how good or otherwise their "postal" service is like

... frying pan = round
... paella pan = round

not sure how it can do a job differently as they both go on the heat and cook the food ...

As stated previously we paid £105 for the Cadac Safari Chef 2 last November. Which is ideal as a 2-4 person cooker, and I imagine the best size for a Motorhome. At that price came with the base, which surronds the gas, and then the lid, which also serves as a boiler / stew / paella, a griddle and a flat iron. I believe there is a Paella pan and a stone, for pizza. But am under the impression these 2 are for the larger cooker.
The griddle is excellent, but the lid for stews and paella, kept catching on the bottom. Probably best for boiling. Not used the flat iron as yet. Now looking for a lightweight storage box to keep it in as the cardboard box won't last long, perhaps find a tad larger so that the halogen oven can go side by side.

Hi millie the hyper, just checked your web description from go out doors at £99, this is the system for the sepearte bottle. The one for MoHo gas is £10 dearer, and requires longer tubing, as said paid £14 for 4 metres and the clamps.Sounds quite a length, but gives us the flexibility under the awning / gazeebo.
The above is really for new readers information.
Bon cuisine

Didn't yours come with a storage bag? Ours did, and all the ones I've seen for sale have done. You can buy cheap storage bags for the Safari Chef on ebay.

The one linked to is the correct one - Cadac make two Safari Chefs (the HP and LP versions) but it looks like Go Outdoors only sell the LP version.
The LP version is designed to work with a separate gas bottle or a BBQ point. It doesn't usually come with a hose and regulator because they don't know what bottle you'll be using.

Its the you want to avoid - that one runs off a small gas cartridge instead of bottled gas.

I don't find them hard to clean really - the Carri Chef being bigger is a bit awkward if you only have a small sink, but the Safari Chef fits in great.
I've cooked many a fantastic meal on the Carri Chef, haven't had the Safari Chef that long yet but so far so good there too. I guess there's enough choice out there that we should all be able to find something that suits us.

....this one is very easy to clean even in a small sink....we love our Cadac we have the big one at home and the small one in the MH..wouldn't be without either...they are the best we've tried and we've tried quite a few....so there's lots of choice out there.

In action 2, chicken & chorizo paella on the go....

and in action 3, white wine, garlic and one or two moules....

Safari Chef is £81 inc delivery from BBQ World right now: its already on offer at £89.99 but if you use the voucher code SPRING10 (valid until 13th March) you can get it for £80.99. The larger Cadacs are also discounted (not so much though).

I've bought a couple of BBQs from Dawsons/BBQ World and can recommend them: good prices, quick delivery and great customer service if something goes wrong.

Ooft, apparently Jamie what's his face was done for adding chorizo to a paella. Not the done thing but if you have any spare then let me know as I always have a spare fork to hand . Obviously once you have done some appropriate cultural appropriation.

Can someone tell me the difference between a braai and a plancha plate?

A braai is just a very large shallow pan shaped like a dome but shallow much shallower than a wok....used on the large Cadac....not sure about the plancha but in Spain plancha means a hot plate which is a large flat surface....not a ridged one
