Our main gripe is with the windshield/lid, which is held in place by one very small catch that slips into a tiny groove. Why they didn’t put one on the other side to make the lid less wobbly, we’ve no idea. It tends to give the cooker an unstable feel. The two Cadac stoves we saw demonstrated were the table-top sized Cadac Safari Chef, which Cadac recommends is ideal for up to four people, and the larger free-standing Cadac Carri Chef. Put all the other ingredients in a bowl.Squeeze any water out of the cool bulgur and add the grains to the bowl.

The only problemis keeping raw fishcool before you cook.Have a look at our article on buying a camping fridge, or even better, camp next to a fishing boat. However, some excellent design features make it much more versatile than a BBQ, and why so many families love using them for camping. Given the opportunity, we love to cook by flame when outdoors. Unfortunately, that's not always possible or practical.

Uploading

With a three-legged stable platform for supporting your pan, the aluminium Odoland includes piezo ignition, serrated edges, a flame-adjustment nob, and a screw valve canister attachment. In use, a thermostatic temperature controller is plugged into the edge of the hotplate and we like the safety aspect of this – without the hotplate properly fitted in place, there is no way of connecting the controller. A dome lid is also provided which can cover the food and allow temperatures of >200°C to be reached. It looks the business too! The side-tables take a bit of fixing into place with wing-nuts and we wouldn’t trust them with anything very heavy – certainly not a large saucepan of food. Add your potato (if using), fish and milk. Simmer for 10 minutes or so. You want the fish to be just-cooked rather than disappearing There are two versions of the Safari Chef 2 – low pressure and high pressure. The low pressure version requires a regulator and hose which are sold separately and can be used with both standard screw-top cannisters or plugged directly into your caravan gas outlet. The Cadac Safari Camping Stove HP (High pressure) can screw directly into cannisters without a regulator, but costs a bit more to buy.

Ideally, when camping, you want the same bit of kit to do many different things to reduce the amount of stuff you need to take. The Trangia takes about 7-8 minutes to boil 1 litre of water which is more than double the time of the gas burners. You literally just top it up with the alcohol of your choice and seal it shut – these things don’t leak which is great. If you’re not short on space when travelling or intend on regularly using your BBQ at home in the garden or on the terrace, opt for a refillable gas bottle. Any type of Butane or Propane bottle is appropriate (Weight by kg). The Party Grill has several different hot plates and ways of working – for instance you can use it as a traditional hob to heat a pan or boil water (4 mins 20s for 1 litre of water). There is a reversible BBQ grill and griddle plate and the lid can double as a wok. This means you can cover all bases on the cooking front.

Fancy a cuppa and a bite to eat? A decent camping stove makes all the difference on camping trips

Serve with a squeeze of lemon over the top and maybe a yoghurty dipping sauce or garlic mayonnaise. If you've been browsing camping shops recently, you may have seen the new Campingaz Party Grill 600. When I looked at it, I thought it looked like a great kit for family camping. Fortunately, our friends at Campingaz agreed and sent us a sample to review. The 2-Cook Pro Stove is the basic version of the 2-Cook Pro Deluxe. It comes standard with two pot stands. This version has no piezo ignition and no carry bag included. An update to the traditional alcohol burner style all-in-one camping stove, this stylish, super light design from Primus comes with a small but mighty 2000W piezo controlled gas burner that can boil a litre of water in just four minutes. Cadac offer an extensive range of "Adventure To Go" products that fulfils the growing needs, worldwide, for people to 'escape' from the congested, cloned, time-starved lifestyle. People need an easy, affordable and universally accessible way to get more value from their precious leisure moments. Cadac Barbecues innovative, quality range of cooking, camping and accessories, has been developed and designed, with the growing need for outdoor comfort and convenience, in mind. Enjoy the adventure of new discoveries with us.

The possibility of discovery is endless with the 2-Cook. This stylish gas barbecue is a lightweight unit and is the ultimate table top companion, with two independent burners. The unit works on a refillable gas bottle or CADAC's Power Pak and comes with a convenient carry bag for easy portability and storage, making it ideal for whatever outdoor activity your heart desires. Buy more fuel refills than you think you’ll need, and if you’re heading abroad on a car camping trip it’s worth taking as much as you’ll use for the entire camping trip, as it might not be available at your destination. You can also buy hose adaptors that let you connect gas stoves to big, refillable propane tanks, which is a more eco-friendly and economical way to cook than regularly replacing smaller canisters.

They will not help with a situation because there is no equivalent at the moment meaning they don’t need to worry about their quality and customer service. I’m holding out for the new ninja outdoor bbq as their products last and have great customer service, and then I will not buy another Cadac product. And please do read the warning that follows. Some cheaper versions of these stoves can explode or set on fire. We’ve been getting a stream of scary stories from readers since posting Jim’s warning (see next).
