Article number CA445-N
Gas cartridge with butane/propane gas, with standard EN417 screw thread and safety valve. The content of this gas cartridge is 445 grams.
You screw on the gas cartridge directly under the Safari Chef HP, or you can use it in combination with a gas pressure regulator such as the Dual Power Pak.
Ideal for camping holidays, picnics or hiking.
With 1 can of CA445 you can barbecue for about 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of BBQ. More information about how long you can cook with a gas can can be found in the table in the blog below:
A gas barbecue works on butane, propane or a mixture of these two types of gas. The difference is the boiling point; the temperature at which it changes from liquid to gas and vice versa. At a lower temperature, gas becomes liquid and therefore unusable for your barbecue. With butane this boiling point is around 0°C and with propane at about -42°C. This makes Butane unusable for a winter barbecue or for use at high altitudes however, it is more affordable and more efficient than Propane.
After use, you can dispose of your empty gas can or cartridge with the residual waste in the gray container or hand it in as scrap iron at the recycling center in your area.
The Dual Power Pak is secured against leaking. When the gas valve of the Dual Power Pak is opened while not being attached to a barbecue, it automatically blocks the gas flow. The Dual Power Pak has to be reset (outdoors);
NOTE: Before the gas valve on the Dual Power Pak is opened it must be connected to a device.
As long as the bottle/cartridge and the tap/connector look good, no rust on the bottle/cartridge or corrosion of the copper, it is good to use them
Every gas cylinder needs to be inspected every so often. The approval period is at least 10 years, although it is longer for some gas cylinders. You can usually find the re-inspection date on a ring under the gas tap or on a label.
Our gas barbecues will run from either Propane or Butane, or a mixture of them.
The Safari Chef HP runs directly on a gas cartridge. This is simply screwed under the appliance. You can start barbecuing right away! Would you like to connect your HP to a gas bottle? Then you can use the Adapter Set HP to LP.
We are regularly asked how long the BBQ works on a gas cartridge, gas canister or a gas bottle. This depends on a number of things:
To give you an indication, the table below shows how long a barbecue works on average on a gas canister/gas cartridge or gas bottle.
