Hi,

I love doing brekkies on the BBQ, but at the moment we have a cheap £20 gas BBQ from Towsure, and put a baking tray ontop of it to do our breakfast. Last weekend it took 55 minutes to cook 4 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs and a pan of beans. It says it has a heat output of 17 kwH?

Would a Cadac be any quicker? How long to do a brekkie?

I can't be waiting for my breakfast when on holiday!!

Cheers in advance

Cadac is quicker than that.  With the griddle as well as the lid, & out of the wind, it's not much more than at home.  It is not as hot as a gas cooker though.

change from a towsure to a cadac this year, and it is much faster

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Cadac, fab bit of kit.

Cooked a joint of pork and roast potatoes a couple of weeks ago

Breakfast takes as long as it takes for the sausages to cook through.

The Cadac will be just as quick as cooking it at home.

Great bit of kit.

You can do a quick curry or stir fry on the skottle in the evening too.

I'm never in a rush for breakfast but found it quick enough. I was impressed with how quickly and evenly it cooked pork chops and chicken legs.

Good friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget.
