We got ourselves a high pressure cadac safari chef last year which is great
UNLESS!!!
It's cold weather! It often is up here so we don't tend to use it as much as we should Does anyone know where I can buy a valve that converts it from high to low pressure gas cylinders?
Are you running it on Butane or Propane? We have used ours with the blue butane CampingGaz cylinders in sub-zero temps, but the couple next door using propane couldn't even boil a kettle.
------------- Hotels Suck. Villas are great but I can't take my Cadac on the plane....

Are you sure you have this the right way round, as propane will continue to gas at lower temperatures where as butane freezes. Thats why all year round vanners use propane (red)
we use ours on the orange bottle and never had a problem and living in scotland we need something that could actually continue to work even in cold weatehr
Orange bottle? Is that a low pressure gas bottle with hose etc?
Still fancy being able to use the bigger gas bottle as well as the high pressure cannisters so if anyone knows where I can get one of those adaptor valves errrrr! seen them on the net somwhere last year and paid no attention! Now I've decided it's a good idea - not to be found!

i run mine on the propane gas which is the orange bottle, the blue bottle is butane which i have never used since i moved up here.
meant to say as well maybe give cadac an email as they might be able to tell you if you can get the adapters from
Don't know the absolute truth on this one, but we camped at Llangollen during the Feb half term break. Our neighbours (at home) came away with us and we had minus 7 temp. We made a cuppa at 07.00 on our blue campingaz and then got the cadac outside at 08:30 for a cooked breakfast when it was -3. The gas for the cadac had been out in our extension all night and worked first time. Our neighbours had the orange bottle and could not use their cooker until around 10 when the sun had been on it for a couple of hours. Bizarre but true.............

Our CampingGaz (large bottle) on our cadac was frozen when we got up February half term meet!
The problem seems to be I think not with the kind of gas but whether it's high pressure aerosol type can - or - low pressure refillable type bottle as the high pressure cans seem to create more cold air as the gas is propelled out under pressure???? (according to a technical brained friend I spoke to last night!)
I should have bought the low pressure version in the start, but it was such a bargain I can't grumble
When we bought our Cadac a couple of years ago it came with 2 burner jets.
We have only used Calor butane ( blue ) but have to admit the Cadac struggled on a cold, windy morning at East Fleet Dorset with the breakfast ( took an age to cook a sausage !!! )
