Which camping barbecue suits me?

Camping means cooking outside! But how do you choose the most suitable barbecue for you?

Those who think about camping, thinks about cooking outside and eating outdoor too. While it is sometimes a challenge at home to put a meal on the table with our busy schedules, it’s completely different on holidays. Cooking seems to be much more fun. You can take your time, grab a beer or wine, while in the meantime you chat with the neighbour. Luckily, the options for outdoor cooking are, now a days, much more extensive than in the past. There are barbecues of all shapes and sizes that you can easily take with you on your vacation.

CHARCOAL, GAS OR ELECTRIC?

The first choice to make is the one between charcoal, gas or electric. Charcoal barbecues and camping are not an ideal combination. It is not easy to take a charcoal barbecue with you in your car or camper, but it is also forbidden to barbecue on charcoal at many campsites in Europe. A gas or electric barbecue often offers a solution. It should be noted that an electric barbecue quickly consumes 2400 watts of electricity, which is way too much for most campsites. In addition, it must always be in the vicinity of an electrical outlet. Gas barbecues are therefore the most suitable barbecues to take with you on vacation.

CADAC offers portable barbecues for every family size and for every type of camper.

CAMPING BEGINNERS | SKOTTELBRAAI

Are you going to camp for the first time? Should the barbecue be practical, not cost too much and last for years? Then the original Skottelbraai is right for you, or its newer brother; the Paella Braai. These tripods weigh little and are easy to carry thanks to the removable base. It comes with a Skottel or a paella pan, the diameter of which is large enough to prepare anything from potatoes with meat, stir-fries, pancakes or a delicious risotto. That way you can combine simplicity with the convenience of preparing a varied meal.

With its foldable legs and light weight (less than 4 kg!) you can easily take it with you. The compact size does not hinder its possibilities. This small all-rounder comes standard with a BBQ grid, a flat griddle, a pot stand and a lid, which also serves as a pan when you turn it over.
