Cadac......heat control?

[ianp]

So with the past few days of nice evenings we broke out our new to us Cadac Citi chief.
Excelent bit of kit but....and its a big but......even on the lowest setting the heat under the dome exceeds 180C so no real option to 'slow' cock something.......is this how they all are?

Sorry to say I got rid of ours, not the same model, but the heat was not really controllable.

Don't put the lid on, keep food to the sides of the pan or whatever.

It diffuses the heat so it's not all going direct to the grill plate, nit total control but a bit better.

Proper charcoal BBQ are much better, just turn them down if too hot or turn them up if too cold

Hi
I’ve always used a cadac for bbq with mine I just turn down the flame/heat and that’s enough, I did replace the plastic part inside once because it kept going black underneath the plate once I replaced it was fine.
