Offering multiple interchangeable cooking surfaces, the Safari Chef 30 LP Deluxe QR comes with a ceramic GreenGrill BBQ Grid, Flat Grill Plate, enamelled Dome Lid which doubles as a pot for cooking and a removable pot stand for use with your own kettle and pans.
As well as use as a stove, it's perfect for all styles of barbecuing - you can fry eggs, bacon and pancakes with ease of the flat cooking plate and the ribbed grid is ideal for burgers, kebabs and griddled veggies.
The integrated burner features a built-in piezo, ensuring easy ignition, flame protection and stability for a reliable performance in all weather conditions. The BBQ comes with integrated quick release, and the leg folding sequence is marked on the base for easy dismantling. When not in use the complete unit packs away neatly in a durable storage bag, the improved design across all components means the unit packs down 24% smaller than the previous version of the BBQ.
High performance burner with integrated piezo igniter
Push button piezo ignition
Foldable legs for compact storage
Convenient storage bag included
Integrated QR quick release
Regulated butane/propane compatible
Optional accessories for the Safari Chef 30 LP Deluxe QR also include the BBQ 2 Plancha 30, a half and half grill plate with grease drainage holes on the ribbed half. And for even easier clean up, the Soft Soak 30, is the ideal accessory. There's also a Paella Pan and Pizza Stone.
The Safari Chef 30 LP Deluxe QR barbecue will run off either Butane or Propane gas, which regulates between 28-30mBar (Butane) and 37mBar (Propane).
What Did we Think? Our Review
I recently got the CADAC Dometic Safari Chef 30 LP Deluxe QR, and it’s been a game changer for camping and weekend trips.
First impressions: it’s super lightweight and compact, making it really easy to transport and set up. I love that it comes with multiple cooking surfaces — the included ceramic grill plate, BBQ grid, and flat plate make it super versatile whether you’re cooking burgers, breakfast, or even just boiling water with your own kettle and pans.
The quick-release (QR) feature for the gas connection is a massive plus — connecting and disconnecting the gas bottle is really safe and simple - just pull the connector and it pops out, saving you the hassle of screwing and unscrewing every time, or dealing with a loose hose when not connected. You'll need to use your own preferred choice of gas bottle, regulator and hose, and it can run on propane or butane.
Lighting it is easy, thanks to the built-in piezo ignition and it heats up fast, cooks evenly. Cleanup is surprisingly easy too, which is always a bonus when you're outdoors. After use, it the legs fold up easily and it packs away in an included bag.
Overall, it’s compact, reliable, and really well-built — perfect for anyone who loves a bit of outdoor cooking without hauling around a giant BBQ setup. For the chefs amongst you, you can also buy specialist extras like a Paella Pan or Pizza Stone.
Would definitely recommend it if you’re into camping, van life, or even just need a flexible BBQ for the garden!

Use the older style and it's a bit of kit we wouldn't be without. We cook meat and pizzas on ours using the pizza stone. Makes meal times when we are camping much easier.the griddle pan is the most use item that come with it.
Not seen the newer version yet but would be interesting to see how much more smaller it packs away.
Highly recommend pice of kit
Anyone know if this could be used like an oven to heat up say a precooked Lasagne. We usually take a cobb camping, but going further south in France this year and less campsites are allowing real fire!

We use ours to cook potato waffles and piZzas etc.
Im not sure how it would do with a lasagne it may take quite a while.to do so
Saying that thou I have seen a promotion video of a whole chicken being roasted on a cadac. I have not tried it my self but I would be willing to give it a go
About 60 years ago my mother used to use a Kubex oven when camping etc. It is a cube shaped steel box with a door and a couple of shelves. It is heated by placing it on the burner of a camping stove (think old style pressurised parafin stove). I can be used as a mini oven for most things and when you pack up it folds down to a convenient size. Sometimes the old tech is better than the latest gizmos.
Just bought a Safari Chef 30 Compact version, which uses the 227g cartridge type gas, same as a 'suitcase stove', because I wanted the more compact size, and freedom from caravan BBQ outlet/large gas cylinders.
Seems quite impressive on couple of uses it's had. Love the 'pot/dome' lid, it makes cooking so much quicker (gas saving!) than an open grill and saves a LOT of fat splashes.
shuhockey, not sure about using it as an oven, instructions say not to use BBQ gridle/flat plate without oiling them to protect coating and limiting time at higher gas setting, but guess the optional pizza stone may solve that issue. Certainly, the standard pot/dome lid makes it effectively an oven of about 20cm dia x 7cm deep.

Are you using butane only or a mix of butane and propane, just curious, that's all?
I am not getting another stove now that I have bought a Coleman 424 to replace the one I sold back in 2020 as I missed it so much!

DK, my current 'stock' of cartridges are pure Butane, must of had them 15 years or more, bought for a suitcase stove that's never been used in anger - bought as a 'backup' to large stove run off Calor 6Kg cylinder just in case the Calor ran out in France when we were tenting.
See current cartridges on sale are often a cocktail of gases, more suited to colder temps, but I'm not bothered, unlikely to be BBQing when Butane has problems with the cold! Cadac's own branded cartridges seem to be pure Butane FWIW.
If you are considering buying a Safari Chef 30 Compact, it comes in two versions, one doesn't include the 'Flat Pan' (Egg frying etc.), so the cheap price may be less of a bargain than it appears, check what's included in the kit. Paid under £90 for mine in Costco, which can be matched in one or two places on the open market, but a good price compared to RRP mostly charged elsewhere.

I have a couple of suitcase stoves that I don't use, also spares, and one was borrowed when the original charger in the Coleman 424 deteriorated (I carried a spare since then, and bought one for the new stove too).
I also bought another suitcase stove when I saw a very compact Korean/Japanese one when I was in Vancouver last October, still have not used it yet! Mainly because I have not been able to find butane canister with the added safety valve in UK.
The chances of me cooking outside during sub-zero is low, however, I like to be prepared.
