Campsite Cooking - - How I done it - -

Yes with a jubilee clip.

Or get a second gas hose made up with a regulator on the end.

That's what I done, so now have both options, bolted or QR.
 
Well, as I found the quick release fitting for the Cadac in the box. Today I went o a new Go Outdoors centre as I happened to be parked nearby. Asked 3 assistants if they sold the rubber hoses, the 3rd seemed to have a remote idea of what I was talking about. However it was about the only bit of Cadac stuff we couldnt find on the display. Then I noticed, on a different shelf, no packaging, labels or any others a rubber tube. I said, thats what I am looking for, except the 1.5m version.

The assistant had no idea where it came from so he said I could have it. So my Cadac is now quick release :)

that means we need a splitter,

i had a quick look about, but my Google foo failed me . . .

so it was time for a MacGyver.

this is what im going with:

new RED Regulator with fuel gauge : https://amzn.to/3NS0JBt

a Gas Y piece . . . . with some extra hose and jub` clips : https://amzn.to/3XUE8J8

and a few extra Quick Release gas connectors . . . : https://amzn.to/3pM4tfE

plus some extra long hose, 5meters in this case. . . . : https://amzn.to/3NURTmr

this is what i knocked together. . .

RED reg to QR . . .

1689331205904.png

with a QR Y-piece . . .

the a short QR pipe. . . . .

1689331258949.png


and a long QR pipe . . .


1689331286412.png


all together we have this. . . . .

1689331313014.png


which goes together like this . . . .

......


The idea being that the Gas Bottle can sit out the way,

the shorter 1.5M QR pipe will feed the CADAC 2pro on the kitchen table in the awning.


the there is a 5m QR pipe to feed the CADAC Carri Chef that can be just out the awning, or full outside - BBQ stlye.


well that's the theory.


now for the practical test. . . .


ill take it all to T6F summer camp 23 and give it a test.

Excellent bit of MacGyver-ing there.

My Mrs is after something similar to run from the main bottle in the van which maybe the only way for me to get the Cadac 2 Cook 3 Pro I think will be handy for outdoor cooking when we travel through Portugal & Spain in a few weeks.

Hope this isn't a silly question but are the QR valves closed off when not connected to anything? Haven't had any prior experience with them so curious to know before I suggest something similar as a possible solution.

I was more leaning toward the Cadac 2 gas canister setup for portability but a setup like this could clinch it.
 
Yes the QR valves are shut off when not connected.

I've adapted all my gas stuff to QR now.

And have made up a few more QR pipes as well.

I've also made up a QR blue REG hose.

Now all my gear is QR and plug and play everything..


Any gas bottle, any gas cooker, any gas BBQ, any combo.

HI Delmassive, great thread. I have installed a Smev 9722 and want to run it off a QR Cadac dual power pack wot I have bought. I will also be using a Cadac pro outside the van so wanted to be able to swap over easily. I have attached the hose from the hob using the compression fitting but now need a 'male' fitting to go into the end of the orange tube that the Cadac QR will attach to but I am not sure what to order. I got a Fulham 1/4" delivered (on left) but the thread doesn't fit the Cadac bit (middle) so I am guessing the thread is the wrong way around ? thumbnail_IMG_1801.jpg
