Cadac Gas BBQs – The summer's easy gas barbeque connection guide!

• Posted by: Prima Team
• Posted on: 30 Jun 2021

Celebrate the sunshine!  Our gas BBQ connection guide is here to help you get cooking quickly and safely!

Whether you are new to gas BBQs or have years of experience under your belt, this guide explains how to connect your portable Cadac gas BBQ to different gas sources and outlines which connections are needed.

Cadac Camping BBQs

Designed for those who enjoy good food while on the move, Cadac’s range of portable gas barbeques and Cadac BBQ accessories are ideal for any camping trip. Each model is lightweight, practical, extremely versatile, and can be hooked up to a range of gas sources to suit whichever set - up you have on your caravan or motorhome.

The freestanding models, Safari Chef 30 QR LP , Grillo Chef 40 , and Carri Chef 50 BBQs are all Low Pressure (LP) barbeques. This means they will run directly off the external gas connection on your caravan or motorhome without the aid of an additional regulator to control the pressure and flow of gas.

The lightweight Safari Chef Compact 30 barbeque is a 'tabletop' version of the classic Safari Chef and utilises a single 227g butane gas cartridge (available separately from your gas supplier) to power it, making it truly portable.

Quick Release Connection

Connecting and disconnecting your barbeque to the gas supply can be quite fiddly and often requires tools to tighten or release couplings. This can damage the connector’s thread and the gas hose, resulting in gaps and holes allowing the gas to escape.

To make connecting and disconnecting safe, quick, and hassle-free, Cadac has developed an ingenious quick-release push/pull system that ensures a dependable connection every time. The simple click-in / click-out system means no tools are needed to make a perfect airtight and leak-free gas connection.

The quick-release coupling is easily attached to the Cadac gas BBQ by unscrewing and removing the standard tailpiece supplied with the BBQ – note this is clockwise to loosen. The Quick Release male tailpiece is then screwed into place on the BBQ, permanently replacing the standard screw-on tailpiece.

Standard hoses are easily converted to the quick-release system simply by cutting off the existing screw-on female fitting and inserting the quick-release coupling in its place.

Once attached to BBQ and hose, the two pieces of the coupling will connect with a quick satisfying 'click' to signify the fitting is secure.

Connecting to: BBQ Point

Connecting to an external gas point on your caravan or motorhome is the simplest way of getting gas to your barbeque. If you have an external BBQ point, you can hook up your gas BBQ directly without needing a separate regulator as the pressure and flow of gas are controlled within the gas locker.

Cadac's BBQ Point Quick Release Gas Hose connects directly to Gemini gas fitting on your BBQ points (not Bullfinch). Gemini gas fittings are standard on Bailey caravans and motorhomes, and most other manufacturers’ vehicles, since 2004.

Both ends of the hose are fitted with quick-release couplings, so your Cadac BBQ hooks up in seconds without needing clips or spanners to secure the connection. The hose is supplied with a Male tailpiece to screw into the bottom of the BBQ, ready to connect each time you cook.

The limitation of using the external BBQ point is the length of the hose will restrict how far away from your caravan you can barbeque. The longer three and five-metre hoses give you a wider area to choose from. 

With your gas bottle powering pretty much everything in your caravan or motorhome, knowing how much gas you have before you set off has always been something of an art. To take the guesswork out of it and find out exactly how much fuel you have left, read our guide on How to Check Gas Levels . 

Connecting to: Refillable Gas Bottles

If you choose to move your dining area a little further away from your caravan or motorhome, you can connect to a refillable gas bottle. With this set-up, you should always attach the barbeque to the gas bottle with a regulator. The regulator performs a vital safety function, as it controls the pressure at which the gas flows from the bottle to the barbeque. It is important to ensure that you have the correct regulator fitted to your appliance for your chosen gas bottle.

A gas hose can be clamped directly to the standard tailpiece, but Cadac’s   Quick Release Tailpiece  can be fitted to the Cadac gas BBQ and inserted into the gas hose to enable a safe and fast connection.

The downside to using this set up is the hefty weight the gas bottle brings with it (anywhere from 6kg up to 13kg) – so bear this in mind when choosing how you connect your barbecue.

* Cadac LP (Low Pressure) barbecues will work on Butane gas (28mb) – stored in blue bottles , and Propane gas (37mb) – stored in red bottles .

Connecting to: Threaded disposable cartridges

If you have one of the freestanding low-pressure barbeques and want to go remote you can use a regulator to attach a small, portable gas canister. There are a number of options on how to do this.

The first option offers you a never-ending choice of dining location. Cadac’s range of low - pressure camping barbeque s can easily be adapted to run off these common high-pressure gas canisters with the use of Cadac’s Threaded Cartridge Regulator Quick Release hose . This regulator steadily controls the flow of gas from the high-pressured cartridge and enables your low - pressure Cadac gas BBQ to run safely. The tailpiece fits EN417 ¼ inch BSP left hand threaded gas cartridges.

However, using disposable cartridges to fuel your barbeque does have its drawbacks. In particular, the relatively small capacity and limited power make them suitable only for smaller meals, not larger groups of people. 

The second option negates these drawbacks. Hooking up your Safari Chef 30 QR LP , Grillo Chef 40 , or Carri Chef 50 to a Dual Power Pak with the quick-release Cadac Dual Power Pac Gas Cartridge Supply  removes the need for a bulky refillable gas cylinder.

The third option is the lightweight Safari Chef Compact 30 barbeque. The Safari Chef Compact uses a single 227g gas cartridge; so there's no need for regulators, adaptors, and heavy gas canisters – it is the ideal portable camping grill for going off-grid with.

The tailpiece fits EN417 ¼ inch BSP left hand threaded gas cartridges.

In the balmy summer weather, a staggering 125 million barbecue parties are hosted, but people still get caught out by some basic pitfalls. Make sure you're not one of them, read our quick guide of barbeque dos and don’ts to avoid a BBQ disaster!

Whichever Cadac BBQ you choose, make sure the best safety practice is followed. Here's a few quick-fire tips so you enjoy your Cadac gas grill safely.

• Replace the hose and your gas regulator every 5 years.
• Always shut off the gas supply before your barbecue.
• Use quick - release couplings for a fast and safe connection.
• Always keep your gas supply upright.
• Only use your gas barbecue outdoors.

In the kitchen with little time, little money and little people

Camp Cooking, Picnics And More With The Cadac Safari Chef 2

There are two Cadac Safari Chef 2’s. One is LP – low pressure- and one is HP – high pressure. The LP version requires a regulator and hose, but can then be attached to a number of different gas bottle options, from the large refillable ones – which works out the best, cost wise – to the smaller single use ones. I tend to keep a small one in the bag, and a backup one in my camping kit, because an extra heavy item to lug around isn’t much fun. One canister normally lasts me about 5 or 6 meals, depending on what you’re making, adding about £1 to the price of the meal. A price I’m happy to pay to not have to find room in the car for a large canister. That said, if I knew we were in one spot for a week or two, I’d probably opt for the large one.

With the HP you only have the option of the screw in canisters which screw directly into the bbq.

I opted for the LP, and to save some money ended up buying a separate hose to go with my existing regulator, but when it arrived I realised my regulator had different markings than those that are supplied with the Safari Chef 2, and the local camping shops couldn’t tell me if it would be okay to use, so I ended up going back to the online shop and just buying the set as is! If you’re not very clued up on these things, I’d suggest the same – I have three regulators now and they all differ in shape and fitting and it’s important to make sure you have the right thing since you’re working with gas and fire.

Why the Safari Chef 2?

What does the Safari Chef 2 come with?

You can also use the flat griddle instead of the BBQ grate – this is perfect for things like eggs, pancakes, and fajitas.

The lid can be placed on to conserve the heat, but the lid is itself a cooking surface – turn it around and you have a fantastic deep pan in which you can cook… anything you like! We used it this week for a vegetable medley and I thought adding some chicken to it would have made a super easy one pot meal, which would leave you with just one dish to clean.

In addition to these you can also buy a separate paella pan and a pizza stone! I expect you could fit the pizza stone in the Safari Chef 2 bag as there is a bit of room in it, though I’d have to try the paella pan (don’t own this one yet!) and let you know if that fits too.

Favourite things about the Safari Chef 2?

• It’s lightweight and self contained. It fits in behind the passenger seat under my daughters feet without being a burden on space in a tiny car.
• It is super easy to put together and get dinner going. We’ve used it on the beach, a picnic in the park and camping. While not advised, I’d imagine, we also used it in the tent a few times as there were gale force winds outside and cooking – in fact standing up straight – was near impossible.  There’s no mess, no flames jumping around and no sparks flying.
• I love that we can eat as we would at home. Healthy meals with practically no huge effort and no extra dishes.
• I LOVE that it’s reduced the number of cooking pots and bits that I have to carry around in the camping kit. We take a bowl for mixing/stirring/combining (thought at a push we could use the lid) and the rest is all done on the Safari Chef 2.

Anything I’d change about the Safari Chef 2?

A way of lifting a hot griddle or grill would be really useful – I use the bbq tongs and just flick it off when I need to switch between plates (i.e. when you’ve friend the onions and now want to grill the patties) but it’s not the end of the world. Where the tongs flick isn’t appropriate, you  can just BBQ the patties on the griddle. Not the end of the world. A clip on handle would be useful though. Or I suppose you could buy decent fire gloves.

And just in the interest of transparency, I do also still use my pocket gas stove as no one should ever have to wait for dinner to finish before being able to boil the kettle!

What can you cook on the Safari Chef 2?

So far, excluding regular BBQ food, we’ve done:

• Fruit Skewers with healthy chocolate sauce
• Sausages and sweet corn (for hotdogs)
• Scrambled egg and bacon
• Cheese filled herb tortilla wraps
• Hamburgers (with fried onion)
• Flapjacks/Crumpets/Pancakes (depends on what you call them!)

Available from Amazon UK  but I ended up buying mine from Winfields Outdoors as they had a sale on. For my Australian friends, I can’t find the Safari Chef 2 there yet, but they do still sell the Safari Chef and other Cadac products

Cadac safari chef 2 review – our new camping stove.

This post may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of these links, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

I heard people rave about their Cadac camping stoves. They seem to have a big range, so anyone can find something suitable for their needs. I reached out to the company to see if they were open to collaborating with me. They kindly sent me their Cadac Safari Chef 2 to review.

This is a sponsored post, but all opinion is my own.

Why choose Cadac?

Cadac has won several international awards over the years for its product quality and innovation. Whether you are a couple or a big family, Cadac has something for you. They offer a wide range of outdoor cooking and heating products.

Our experience with the Cadac Safari Chef 2

Up until now, we were quite lazy with our camping meals. We would just boil some water and eat an expedition meal from a packet. Very quick and lightweight option without having to do any washing up. Great for wild camping or if you rely on public transport.

However, we now have a car and have the space for some more luxurious items. We decided to go car camping on my birthday to the Peak District and Live The Braai Life. I must say, I was very proud of the dishes we cooked on the barbecue during these 4 days. We kept all the meat in a camping fridge and had some really nice meals. It was nice to slow down from our usual hectic itinerary to cook some nice meals, enjoy the surrounding views and spend some quality time together.

The camping stove is super easy to use. It’s quick to set up and pack away. The Safari Chef 2 has folding legs that allow you to stand it on the floor or on a table. It also comes with a carrier bag, which makes it easy to tuck into your car!

The best thing about this stove is that it can multipurpose. The unit comes with a ceramic BBQ Grill Plate and Flat Plate. It also has an enamelled Dome Lid which doubles as a pot for cooking and a removable pot stand for use with your own kettle and pans So you can boil a kettle on it, fry or bbq food. It also works as a pizza oven with the pizza stone accessory. The camping stove runs from disposable gas cartridges that screw directly to the unit, meaning no need for regulators and bulky cylinders.

I had no issue cleaning the plates, even after the fatty meat. I just used warm soapy water. But some parts are also dishwasher safe.

What we cooked:

Sausages with asparagus and potatoes English breakfast (bacon, eggs and baked beans) Kofta kebabs and corn on the hob Pizza and garlic bread

Who is the Cadac Safari Chef 2 for?

• Good size cooking surface for two people, but it is probably too small for a family
• People who do car camping, or I can imagine taking it on a canoe trip as well. But probably not suitable for backpacking trips, as you want to keep weight and size down.

All in all we are very happy with our new camping stove. We will take it on all our car camping trips and we can’t wait to try out new recipes with it.

“Italian Chef, Great Food” Review of Aist

Aist Cafe is a great place to visit any time of the year. However if you go in the summer time you can eat outside on the ground floor patio, inside in the relaxed cafe style area, first floor with a more traditional restaurant lay out and watch the chefs at work or on the roof patio. The food is generally international leaning towards Italian due to the chef's origins. Fish courses are particularly good with fresh catch each day. The young staff are generally attentive and most speak some English. Though I did once witness the owner, Arkady Novikov cracking the whip on his staff. He does set high standards. All menus are Russian/English so finger pointing is no problem with the waiters for your choice! A good wine list though not unexpected prices are steep though there is normally a good South African or even a classy Graves under GBP100! After many visits I usually lean towards fish courses but this is purely down to taste. Expensive? Yes but the quality of food is good and generally the staff very helpful. If you want to be brave try ordering their specially brewed ginger tea it is addictive!

Went to Aist cafe a few times during my one week stay in Moscow. Excellent food. Sunday brunch was very delicious as well as the usual dinner menu. VERY nice and friendly staff. A friend of mine who doesn't speak any Russian was able to order in English and surprisingly got the right order. Considering how rude the crowd can be at other places it is impressive that these folks stay so chill and helpful. Interior decor is classy and cozy. Loved it so much especially the roof top. Highly recommend this place to both locals and visitors. I was impressed.

Visited this place with a business partner. The atmosphere was rather trendy with mostly an upscale younger crowd. The food was good - particularly enjoyed the fish baked in salt crust and the buratta salad - but the wine was really over priced and not that great.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
