No clip on the bottle end either ?

I had 2 interesting moments while using my Cadac this summer.

The first one involved me forgetting to take my wee spirit level off the Cadac before putting my skottle on....it took me a few moments to suss what the charred mess was as I took the Cadac apart.

During the day I store my Cadac & gas under the beds of  my camper & bring it out whenever it's needed. I don't use jubilee clips & didn't notice that the connection to the Cadac had become slack through all the movement. The resulting flare produced quite an adrenaline rush.

I still don't use jubilee clips, but I check the connections before each use.

I put jubilee clips on both ends.  I think the connections may work loose over time otherwise.

That's why I would have expected there to be requirement in the instructions for use of jubilee clips to ensure the hose is securely connected - even if its on low pressure.

Think I'm going to fit them to mine

The Cadac arrived only two days after ordering it from Towsure - and just paid normal delivery charge : excellent service.

Fitted the jubilee clips ok - can't see any reason not too.  The tailpeace unscrews from the valve easily, so no need to keep the hose connected when not in use. It fits nicely into the front pocket of the main bag

Tried it out at home at the weekend - had to cook in the garage 'cos the weather was 'inclement' - thats polite for xxxxxxx down !    What an excellent piece of kit - cooks brilliantly.  Used the ribbed grill - nothing burned, all cooked through well (no more iffy sausages..).

And putting all the pieces back in the bags was a doddle. Read the manual first, but pretty logical really - the smaller pieces fit inside the larger, like a Russian doll.

OH thinking about roasting pan / paella pan already - think I'm caught doing the cooking...
