Cadac Carri Chef 50 BBQ QR – The Must-Have Portable Gas BBQ
The Carri Chef 50 BBQ QR is Cadac's top-of-the-line portable gas BBQ and the thing that really sets it apart is the 47cm cooking surface. Now that's not just a bit bigger than the 40, it's a whole lot bigger - enough to cook a decent sized meal for a group without jamming everything in at once, steaks and veggies included.
The 3.7kW burner is seriously hot and can get going in no time, with a control that lets you dial in from full-on sear to a gentle simmer if you need to. The legs are adjustable and fold in two, so you can either use it as a freestanding BBQ that'll sit proudly at 93cm high or pop it down on a flat surface - the lower bit attaches securely to the base and keeps everything stable. The adjustable leg on one side makes sure it doesn't wobble on uneven ground - something that's a real pain in the real world, at a campsite.
The dome lid with built-in thermometer hooks straight onto the back of the fat pan and acts as a windbreak and a splashguard when you're grilling away. Closed up, it creates a nice oven-like environment for baking, roasting or cooking with a lid on. The GreenGrill ceramic BBQ grid is pretty clever too - it traps and distributes heat evenly, which cuts gas consumption by about a third compared to just leaving the burners uncovered. The tool tray keeps all your essentials within easy reach. The integrated QR coupling makes it easy to hook up to a gas supply. And all this fits in the premium carry bag a whole lot more compactly than before, down by 25% - so it won't dominate the boot or the awning locker any more.
Key Features
- 47cm GreenGrill Ceramic BBQ Grid – Huge cooking surface that's also got a built-in heat deflector. That means even heat right across the full 47cm, and about 34% less gas getting wasted than with grilling uncovered.
- 3.7kW Burner with Automatic Piezo Ignition – You get a really powerful, fine-tuneable heat source that'll get from full sear to slow simmer in no time. Plus, it's got a built-in piezo for instant, hassle-free ignition.
- Dual-Height Two-Part Legs – So it can sit at 93cm high on its own, or you can pop it down on a flat surface - just twist the lower section onto the base and you're good to go, no tools needed.
- Adjustable Foot on One Leg – So it stays put even on lumpy ground, which is a must for real-world campsite use.
- Dome Lid with Thermometer, Air Vents & Stay-Cool Handle – You can keep an eye on the temperature, and the lid hooks neatly to the back of the fat pan, either for windbreak and splashguard or to close it up for oven-style cooking.
- Integrated QR Coupling – Makes it a piece of cake to hook up to a gas supply - any compatible QR hose and regulator and you're good to go.
- Utility Tray – The sort of tray that's actually useful, rather than just there to look nice - loads of room for your tools and condiments.
- Compressor Packs 25% Smaller Than Previous Version – We've had a rethink and it now packs down a lot tighter, which makes it a lot handier to get around with - premium carry bag with dedicated leg holders included.
- Series 50 Modular Compatible – So you can add all sorts of accessories like a paella pan, pizza stone or plancha. Loads of options to turn this into a full outdoor kitchen.
