Plus: Win a Cadac Safari Chef 30 LP Deluxe QR worth £145
We’ve teamed up with Cadac UK to offer one lucky winner a Cadac Safari Chef 30 LP Deluxe QR worth £145.
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!
Hmmm, the photos are showing a gas canister being used, that makes it the HP version I believe.
I believe with LP version, there should be a hose with a regulator linked to a gas bottle.

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.
