We all love a BBQ and most have been in, or overheard the gas vs charcoal argument. For us (mainly Stephen) this helps settle it, especially for multi-use days over a weekend. The
Cadac Citi Chef 40 Table Top Gas BBQ* has been used on every weekend trip we have had, and has not disappointed. We are a couple that enjoys a good brekky, so by adding a Tefal pan, we can even cook fried eggs with our sausages. On those wet, windy, gloomy mornings you often see us out in, the lid keeps things dry and helps keep the heat in. As for other meals, we have cooked amazing steaks, corn on the cob, full BBQs and homemade kebabs. What’s great is the removable fat pan, so you can give it a quick wipe after each use or like us, leave it be for the weekend and give it a proper clean when you get home.
If you are by yourself, you could probably go for something a bit smaller to safe space (see the last paragraph for what we recommend!). But for the two of us, it’s perfect and gives us plenty room for multiple items.
For our day hikes, we always carry our
Eurohike carabiner mugs for that much needed half way point coffee. As a space saver, we use a
Hi-Gear foldable kettle and
Vangos foldable gas stove, with the
C100 Xtreme Gas Cartridge (the smallest of the range). The stove comes in a waterproof orange box that has just enough room for a lighter too, meaning we can keep everything together. It’s easy to use, lightweight and suitable for larger pans – a staple in anyone's camping kit list!
For day trips or shorter stays, we'll take our portable Gas cooker (
Campingaz Camp Bistro 2) instead of our Cadac. Its a cheap and cheerful alternative, which we recently used on a morning SUP trip, as it's easily transportable with all our other kit.
