Cadac & Calor Lite

Hello,

I saw a Cadac for the first time today and was impressed with the Safari Chef 2 -ideal size and weight for the Eriba.

http://www.cadacinternational.com/produc...=safari-chef-lp

I'd like to use it with my 6kg Calor lite gas bottle so I am not carrying two gas supplies, so the Low Pressure variant will be required, I assume. I will remove the bottle from the gas locker and connect outside to the Cadac when cooking alfresco.

I need advice on which hose / regulator to buy to connect the Cadac connector on the bottom of the unit to my 6kg Calor Lite propane bottle.

Thanks.

I have been using a 37 M bar reg with an orange hose with the Carri chef for the last three years, you can use black hose if you wish, I just like the colour,

These small Cadac are wonderful for the two of us. We sold our larger one some years ago and have found we use this with the griddle/hot plate, but probably most frequently with a wok type frying pan or saute pan. This combined with a Remoska means cooking outside in the summer you can manage more or less anything.

From the spec sheet in your link

Zitat
Average operating pressure.28-30 / 37 mBar

The pictures show a hosepipe and regulator attached (presumably they provide one)

Unforunately, they don't provide the pipe and regulator as there are quite a few connection options, hence my question.

In that case you will need the same connector as your gas cylinder one end ......... whatever fits the Cadac at the other end and a 37 mBar propane regulator somewhere in-between, would be better at the cylinder end away from the heat.

Edit

Something like this and a length of hose plus whatever fits the Cadac.

Thanks Hob. Yes, it looks like a custom regulator and pipe / fittings will be required. I think once this is made up, it will provide a good solution.

I think that having to disconnect, remove, replace and reconnect your Calor bottle every time you want to use a Cadac will prove to be a real inconvenience and what if you want to prepare something on the hob at the same time as the Cadac is in use?

As most of our time is spent camping in France, we carry a CampinGaz 917 bottle in the gas locker and use this for the Cadac. The regulator stays attached to the gas hose and everything is connected up in seconds. The added advantage is that CampinGaz refills are widely available in continental supermarkets should we run out.

Another advantage is that the CampingGaz cylinder can also be used as a caravan supply should the Calor bottle run out while we are away.

The picture shows the simple wooden base I made to support the bottle.

I use the cadac safari chef with a calorlite 6kg. I carry two calorlite, one for the van and one to use on the cadac. I bought a bolt on regulater and fitted a short 150mm pigtail with a spring release inline coupling bought from the local calor dealer. That way i dont have to unbolt the regulator i just unclip the hose and can store the bottle back in the gas locker when not cooking on the Cadac. It also means i always have a spare calor lite if the van gas ran out for some reason.

That sounds just what I need. Do you know the part numbers, or have links to the web pages?

If I want to carry a small cartridge and have more portability, I guess the High Pressure version is an alternative.

Thanks.
