Cadac Safari Chef 30 LP Deluxe QR Cooker

The Cadac Safari Chef 30 LP Deluxe QR is a next-gen iteration of Cadac’s compact 30 cm cooker, offering multi-functional cooking in a beautifully portable format. This Low‑Pressure (LP) model works with refillable bottles or a Cadac Power Pak, presenting a flexible solution for extended cookouts without relying on single-use cartridges.

🔧 Design & Build Quality

Weighing approximately 4.1 kg and folding down about 24% smaller than its predecessor, it’s ideal for packing into vans, boats, or even compact cars. Constructed with a thermoplastic burner base, enamel-coated legs, and a GreenGrill ceramic‑coated BBQ grid and flat plate, the unit is built to endure the outdoors while staying light and easy to carry.

⚙️ Features & Cooking Performance

A high-performance burner with an integrated piezo ignitor ensures quick, reliable ignition—even in breezy conditions. With 1.8–2.0 kW output and around 130–145 g/h gas usage, the cooker strikes a solid balance between heat and efficiency. The heat diffuser beneath the grid promotes even cooking—perfect for frying bacon, searing steaks, or simmering curries.

Included are four cooking surfaces: pot stand, BBQ grid, flat griddle, and a lid that doubles as a pan—ideal for flexibility in one compact package. The removable fat pan doubles as a wind shield and grease collector, simplifying cleanup while maintaining performance.

🧭 Ease of Use & Maintenance

Assembly is tool-free and intuitive, and the foldable legs feature cutouts that allow the Quick‑Release (QR) coupling to remain attached—a clever convenience for transport. The included carry bag makes it campsite-ready. Clean‑up is effortless: simply remove grease trays and wipe/grate with warm, soapy water .

👍 User Feedback

Owners rate it around 4.8–5.0 stars, praising its compact size, versatility, and easy cleanup. One user said:

“Excellent little BBQ! … we did fry ups on the flat grill and used the dome pot for a curry”.

⚠️ Considerations

As an LP model, you’ll need to purchase a compatible hose and regulator separately. Heat output, while efficient, is optimal for small groups—larger meals may take longer.

✅ Final Verdict

The Cadac Safari Chef 30 LP Deluxe QR is a stellar blend of smart design, portability, and multi‑surface cooking. With its modular capabilities, efficient burner, and robust build, it’s an excellent pick for couples or small groups who want a full-fledged outdoor cooking experience without dragging around a heavy BBQ.
