Colin Leake Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Don't ask why, I'm still upset, but we did have to buy a new Cadac midway through the summer. Bought it on line from Tow Sure. Takes longer to assemble than the old one but is very much more ridged. Biggest advantage is that the new design stays alight very much better in windy conditions.

That does appear to have been a problem with the old design, although we always have windbreaks set up as a dog garden, so I didn't think we'd have a problem with the flame blowing out :-S.......

vindiboy Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Towsure in Southampton had them in stock last week when we were there, I had one,but after one use I cleaned it up, put it all back in it's bags and sold it on, I could not be bothered to partake in all the cleaning it requires every time one uses it , I also thought I would try the smaller version Safari Chef as I remember, again too much hassle cleaning it at each use so that went the same way. I have reverted back to our mark one grill, a 907 Gaz bottle with a detachable burner on which I can boil a kettle etc and a cast Iron plate on which I grill my food, easy to clean as one just has to wash the Cast Iron plate and that is it, I buy my Gaz in Spain and Portugal where it is very cheap, but when I go to Spain in a few weeks time I am going to buy one of the Spanish gas rings that they use to make their Paella on ,then I will be able to plug this into my Barbi point and use my refillable bottles to power it. If I want a real Barbi [ Charcoal ] I have a Spanish metal Mushroom shaped Barbi, very small and compact with a metal wire mesh cooking rack, it uses very little charcoal and is plenty big enough to cook food for two on and I only have to wash the wire rack, yes I am very lazy in this respect, cant be wasting drinking time washing up .

As a keen cook, I'm looking for a bbq that'll do the same job as our indoor hob and oven ;-)..............I have a very good Spanish charcoal bbq upon which I have even cooked a roast diner.......and chips :D.... Unfortunately......our current winter bolt hole does not allow bbq's 8-)...............hence the need for a outdoor gas cooker *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 1footinthegrave Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 One of the most onerous tasks in the world must be cleaning any bar-b-que, you must all be stark raving bonkers. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leake Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 We only use the griddle. None stick and easy to clean. What I usually do is to take it over to the washing up facility on the site whilst the wife does the rest of the washing up in the motorhome. Worked very well for years but the wife has now sussed out how long it really takes to do this so I now have to get back and dry the washing up up. Yes you can indeed do a roast in it though we can never be bothered. What we usually do is to cook two lots of meat at once eating one hot on the day of cooking and one cold the following day. I always claim it's to save gas but in truth the main benifit is to save time on cooking and cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
