CADAC Safari Chef 2 Review & SQ Professional Review - Camping Essentials

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey everyone, thanks so much for your comments and for watching...Just to clear things up... There have been a couple of comments on this video thinking its sponsored... Its definitely not. Its just me talking about the stuff ive bought with my own pennies and im giving my genuine thoughts on the products i have purchased. I think its the best way to give a genuine honest review on something that may help others. We dont take sponsorships anymore, our videos would just end up being massive adverts and i dont want that for the channel... Have a fabulous weekend everyone and stay awesome.. ❤

Tip, when using the bbq griddle put some water in the bottom of the black pan part and then anything that drips through can just be pored away 👍

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Great advice thank you

[@Bmthgooner]

I came here to say the same

[@darrenlingard9713]

Great tip.

[@daveknibbs4046]

Great review, quick and concise and everything I need to know, I will be treating myself to both! Love your eagerness which makes any of your films easy and enjoyable to watch. Look forward to the next outing or review 👍👍😊🍺

[@darrenlingard9713]

We bought the pizza stone as well. This works great but be sure to follow the guide lines on its use as I burnt the base first time out. You need to add a dusting of flour prior to placing on the pizza. We also purchased the quick release twin gas cartridge unit as it is compact.

[@robertbrock3079]

More than helpful Colin, entertaining tool as usual 👏👍

[@jonmusgrave7670]

Hi Colin, little tip if you want to use the griddle plate on your Cadac you can fill the bottom with some water so any juice and stuff falls through the gaps sits in the water, when finished tip the water out and wipe clean.

[@squircle]

I agree, this is exactly what your supposed to do, a little water bath collects everything.

[@stevezodiac491]

I have had a £29.99 SQ Professional for two years in the van. It has been great and still hasn't lost it's Teflon coating. You can cook two breakfasts in it across 2 burners and not splatter the contents all over. Much better than a ridge monkey and cheaper as well.

[@mattreen542]

Since i messaged you this week ive been waiting for your review vid tonight! Ta! Wanted to hear your review before i ordered or not. Defo ordering one, cheers pal 🤙

[@paulbell7275]

Great video Colin. We've been using the NGT version of this pan for a while now and we've just ordered this one, to compare them. Sorry for the ridge monkey fans, but these are far better. Our Ridge monkey pans won't be getting used again, always had issues with the coating coming off and the clips breaking off on the handles, twice. As for the CADAC's, you said it all, top notch equipment. We have the one you've just reviewed and the Cook 2 pro deluxe, both excellent pieces of kit.

[@dazbbgful]

Nice work Colin. Our piezo was the same too,i unscrewed the burner part as you expertly described and then pushed/bent the piezo wire nearer to the gas. Being gentle so not to crack the white ceramic insulation. Worked fine since. Maybe a fluke but worth a shot. 👍

[@johngriffiths1296]

Hi, totally agree about the spark ignition, 1st time fine, From then on use a lighter. But apart from that good bit of kit. PS wife said take it back as not working properly,but quite clearly it's a design issue.

[@stuartmays]

Smashing, more things my van didn't even know it needed....

[@markbe9011]

Great review Colin makes me want a cadac even more definitely added it to my list I have been looking for a burner big enough to fit my mahousive ridgemonkey xxl griddle.

[@peakpanther5136]

I have seen the SQ pan in use for a few years now by the lady on the Vanlife Goodies channel and been very tempted. She has cooked loads of stuff in it for the family and raves about it. I have a Ridgemonkey XXL so it's probably a bit too similar to justify it. However for just over £30 you really can't go wrong.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Awesome, it was vanlife goodies that gave me the idea... Awesome channel

[@jasonnicol8302]

Not in this video but our new ridge monkey just arrived. Another purchase by my good lady after watching one of your videos. That’s been a few things now, your costing me a small fortune.

[@Keith-rm3cy]

Cadac is the best. You pay for what you get. No.1 portable BBQ Happy camping ⛺️👍🏻

[@campingdogz626]

haha ! waffly versatile, that brought back memories. Have to be of a certain age. thanks for the review

[@beverleyfisher935]

Did you know the cadac stores perfectly under the double front seat 😊

[@LeisureBit]

We’ve got the same one (I think) and the sparky thing stopped working so just carry a £ shop long arm lighter to light it. Also got a quick release for the gas and am using the Cadac 500g gas canisters which to be fair do seem to last a good while. Wow I didn’t know about the 2 sections in the lid! Learn something new everyday. Nice. Same feedback ref the griddle with the gaps in - makes it a pain to clean doesn’t it. It does feel like camping on the Cadac Looks a nice pan, like the seal to save all the mess on turning over. Love your ethics on KZbin reinvestment - that’s what we do too, you put it so well - massive high 5 🙌❤️ Have a great weekend, all the best, David & Rachel 👍

[@samhelier-davis4701]

Well bugger me! We've had the Safari Chef 2 for a couple of years and NEVER noticed the pockets in the top of the bag! Even had to go and check! 🤯 😂

[@brendanmcfall739]

Thankyou so much colon for taking the time great review, need the cadsc in my life, just need to work away to get it with out Mrs seeing i bought it, to many purchases recently 😂😂. Oh the foldup firepit is genius, my wife gave it 5 stars 😊

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Colon ?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 No problems buddy, glad it helped Because I work for myself I make sure all the van purchases arrive while Michelle is at work 🤣🤣 you're not alone buddy

[@brendanmcfall739]

@Yorkshirepoptopadventures apologies Colin typing error. (Not Colon ). Appreciate all your work on here fella. Been away for a few days got new video to catchup on later 👍

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

@@brendanmcfall739 haha don't worry about it. I once sent an email to all of my colleagues and signed off with colon 🤣🤣 easy done

Great reviews, I'll keep an eye out on Thomas heaton's next video to see if you're playing in the background 😉

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hahaha I'd lose my shit mate 😂😂😂

[@travellingtaylors8352]

I didn’t know that about the top either. Off to re stack mine 😂😂

[@antonyhodgson6105]

Great reviews!! We are RidgeMonkey and Cadac converts - have the pizza stone for the Cadac - it's brilliant 🍕👍

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Definitely on my purchase list

[@Bmthgooner]

Good luck not burning the pizzas 😁 ( cadac owner in-joke) just Google cadac pizza stone

[@DougieAB]

Thanks for the review Col, definitely getting the Cadac now. What happened to your usual outtakes? Don't tell me there weren't any cos i know you'd be lying! 😀

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Haha I might throw them in to the next video. It's been super busy this week so had to finish the video pretty sharpish.

[@hunter17hmr]

With the SQ, the circlip on the hinge can be easily removed. And you can use the two separate halves, as I have done quite often. Only if you have two burners anyway 👍🏻😊

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Awesome, I'll try again, I've been battling with it for ages 😂

[@colinlee5429]

Was gonna say the same! Also makes it easier to clean 🤌 I have both products and do rate them. Love the no more sponsors direction your going in colin. Nice! 🤙

[@irenedale5256]

Great reviews Colin - very tempted, shame that the pan doesn’t have removable handles. We have one of those gas bottles, but I don’t know what I need to use it with the Cadac (should I succumb) - can you tell me what connection I would need to get? Thanks. 💕🐾💕🐾

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I'd love to let you know, but it's just the connection I had from my original gas/sink/ring combo I already had in the van from when I removed it :( I have no idea what the connection is called and wouldn't want to give you incorrect info. Maybe another subscriber could help?

[@irenedale5256]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures thank you anyway Colin. Have a great Sunday 💕🐾💕🐾

[@stevefinney6572]

Colin any information on where can you get penny sweets as we can't seem to find any!😂😂😂

[@timarmitage2634]

Cadac looks great. How are you getting on with the inflatable pillow though? Not sure I’ve seen your conclusion

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Yeah we love the cadac, one of our better purchases for the van. I've kicked the the sleep mat out and purchased a different sleep mat so I'll be doing a video on that soon but the pillow is still a "not sure" ive used it a few times now but always taken up some cushions and ended up using those instead. It's not uncomfortable but I'm not sure I could do more than a couple of nights with it...

[@justinlimLVBUS]

Presume my post disappeared because I sent a link, but could you use the Cadac trio power pack, that way the canister would be the same as the low profile stove

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Can't see your original post in my KZbin app anywhere (not even in posts held back for review)... I'll definitely be getting one of those though as soon as the 907s run out

[@JB-cb8fx]

Are you sure you can use the screw in canisters into the bottom? I thought there were 2 models high pressure and low pressure

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

I've been using the screw on ones buddy, not blown up yet 🤣🤣!

[@JB-cb8fx]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures do you have a link for the cartridges please, I have the hose and remote cylinder and it’s way too cumbersome

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Hey buddy, congratulations.... message me at [e-mail] and I'll send over a price list for you

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

Buddy, do you think that pan would be too big for a normal double hob in a van?

[@stevezodiac491]

I have had one for two years and it goes across two burners beautifully on a dometic hob and cooks two breakfasts at once, reducing splatter to a minimum and the Teflon has lasted.

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Yes mate, I have seen it in action on the double rings (with both on for maximum coverage too)

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

@@stevezodiac491 It's actual Teflon coated? I'm out then!

Had to go one further than your awesome reviews of it 😂😂

[@vanlifegoodies]

@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures my review was actually the first video I ever did - years ago !! I’ve still got the same Sq ! Got loads of negatives for tipping the fat out on the grass . The dogs just licked it up but some people thought I was out of order - can’t please them all !

[@Bmthgooner]

The pan lid thingy is not non stick. Do yourself a favour and get the paella pan. We cook nearly everything on it and it's non stick. Yep pur piezo igniter has oacked up and we use a lighter

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

Thanks buddy re the paella pan... I'll look in to that...

[@neilmcevoy4893]

When trying to light it, gently blow over it and it will light every time 😉

[@derbyjohn972]

I had one Colin could not get on with it. Hard work mate 👎🏻👎🏻

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

That's fair enough, they aren't for everyone :) have an ace weekend

[@paulmartin6946]

I normally love your videos - but this is too many sponsors- sorry I have to be honest

[@Yorkshirepoptopadventures]

This isn't sponsored matey, it's just stuff I've bought with my own money and giving my honest thoughts on them

[@therealjetlag]

I love the idea of the SQ professional, but I’m in a vanagon and need the handles to come off.
