Gas bbq (1 Viewer)

[Spade]

Hi all
I'm thinking of buying the bbq below.
I'm just asking,can I use a 11kg standalone propane cylinder and regulator instead of the camping gas cylinder and regulator.

Amazon product

Thanks for any advice,

 

[Winger]

I would say yes as they will be similar pressure but I’m no expert

 

[POH]

Hi don't know about connectivity of gas but we had one from Costco and had to take it back as the enamel was splintering off by the handels would not get another also the cartridges are quite expensive.

The slightest wind and the burner gets blown out on a Cadac.

Never happened once to me in several years of using them.

Have 2 cadacs, larger one on the patio and smaller one in the mh, we used a small patio gas bottle and took it with us in the van, have a bbq piunt now so it stays at home. Very impressed with both bbqs

I have exactly that model ,several years old I use it on bottles and the bbq gas point I put in

In my opinion it is much better quality than the Cadac I used before. Much hotter , non stick is better , enamel ok n the lid is better quality provides the handles are attached ok.

We have the latest Safari Chef, the wind doesn’t blow ours out!
We do have a small wind break which I made years ago for something else that we use if it’s really windy.

We use the new cadac portable power pack ASWELL as having a built in BBQ point. Only used the power pack twice this year BUT it was a godsend on both occasions. Wouldn't be without it now !

I don't recognise the problem with our Cadac's, do you speak from your own experience or folklore?

I too must question this.. many years with a Cadac and never had a "burner blowout issue"..

 

[Barryh]

Speaking from experience my Cadac Grillo Chef was an absolute nightmare for the burner blowing out in anything more than a mild breeze. I’m now using a Party Grill that hasn’t let me down and burns much hotter.

Spent £160 ish on a cadac. Worse thing I’ve spent my money on in Moho terms. Thing blew out everytime. No ignition. Loads of bits, pain to clean, pain to keep taking apart, and rebuilding. Last time it went out, relight it, and it blew the top off, including our breakfast. That was enough. Far better out there.

Experience.

If anyone is interested in buying a Cadac, I’ll get it out the loft and sell you it. Picture of it from 2015.

Weber Q1000, although they look expensive at the moment at a tad less then two hundred quid.

Also buy a non-branded griddle plate for those morning eggs and bacon
To increase the Q1000 versatility, get the Weber foil Convection Tray and Roasting Trivet. Drill a small hole in the front of the lid and fit a small thermometer. You now have a pretty good oven as well.

You will also need an adapter so that you can hook it up to an external gas supply

I do love a good or bad cadac thread ... I think they're great but also accept other people have had a different experience that may not be their fault.
Using any gas appliance in 'the wind' would always need watching carefully and if they're not cleaned well (like other gas appliances) then grease and food bits could also be an issue. I don't think those points are confined to a cadac.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one

Brilliant little BBQ, fits in my gas locker.
Best BBQ I’ve had, have cooked for 8 on it.

I have the Q2000 and it’s fantastic also. I connect to the side of the van. Can’t go wrong with a Webber. The price for the one above is fantastic value.

Have made an adapter for mine so I can plug into the gas point on the van or use the mini gas cans if needed

Easy to clean too. Remove the cotter pins on the lid, and unscrew the single screw that holds the gas burner element on. Wash the lid and the base in a sink. Give the element a brush with a wire brush. Reassemble. Done.

I don't like cooking indoors. Our MH kitchen area is titchy. When we are stopped anywhere, even for one night, pretty much regardless of the weather, the Weber is out, doing its thing. Perched on top of a Kampa Colonel, next to a Campinggaz dual burner on a Y shaped gas hose fitting, we are away.

I normally give mine a complete strip down once a year and all other times just put in full throttle with the lid down for 20 mins then just quick wire brush.
I don’t even have a garden BBQ now just get this out the van and run it off the small gas can

I also cook outside even when below zero as try to keep smells out the van
