I've been adamant over many years that my portable, two level grid, gas BBQ is the best bit of equipment we own. My argument has been that a BBQ must create smoke and since charcoal ones are frequently not permitted a gas version is the next best thing.
If I'm honest I do enjoy a glass or two of red, or a beer, whilst dodging the smoke - it's part of camping!
But my wife has just told me she fancies something that cooks in other ways to my wonderful grimy, smelly, BBQ. She has seen a Cadac.
I know that many people swear by them and I can see the advantage in terms of different cooking techniques - grill, pan etc etc. But I'm not convinced that they can give me a smoky and authentic BBQ result.
Am I wrong?
Can someone please let me know their honest opinions including drawbacks and, if possible, any hints and tips. It would be good to know the preferred version too.
