Cadac

[Eddieb]

Hoping to buy a Cadac Safari Chef 2 with the quick release - unsure about getting the HP or LP version - are there any pros and cons of each type?

Hp you would need a separate aerosol and if you go for LP version you can use on a bbq point.

Depends what gas source you think you will use the most. If you can connect to your onboard gas supply then the LP version is the way to go. If you think you will be mostly using the screw on cylinders then HP is the answer. That said, whichever version you buy you can convert to the other (i.e. LP to HP or HP to LP) - it's just a matter of an adaptor or two.

In the past, wnen touring with a tent, we used a 907 camping gaz bottle with bottle-top regulator. This was connected to a LP Cadac via a flexible gas hose.

It gave us the flexibility of placing the Cadac anywhere around the camping site, depending on wind direction and other factors.

I’ve got a gas valve thing that allowed me to connect a small HP gas cylinder to my Cadac. You can have that if you want. Cadac has long gone as was pooo. Valve is still sealed in original, bag, and is a cadac part.

I didn't realise that you could convert both. I'm thinking of getting one but wasn't sure about LP or HP. I'd like to have the option to connect to either source of gas depending on were I'm cooking.

You can go HP to LP but not other way round.

LP into HP wouldn’t work as unless somehow pumping to add pressure not enough flow at the burner.

On my Safari Chef I have LP burner and have short has and adapter to connect HP cartridge anticipating the day I might get a connector from the onboard LPG

Great - that's what I need for the same reason. Thanks
