Hi, i have a cadac safari chef and it cooks enough for two with ease (in fact i am rather a porker  so what I cook for two may well serve four in some houses) although i agree if you wanted eggs bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes it would struggle a bit.

DO shop around, whichever one you decide to go for - there are much cheaper prices out there. I put a link on the thread about the beauclaire/george foreman to a site selling the safari chef for £49.99. I just had a quick look on ebay, if you go to

that can find all the things in your area that are on ebay as collection only - it's great for finding all sorts of things and as we all know, at this time of year people are reviewing their camping kit and many are getting rid of purchases that didnt work for them.

As you will have seen, all the various options have their fans and their pros and cons. I will not fib and say the cadac is a joy to clean, but i do love cooking on it, have had great results and find it's easy to carry and use.

We recently bought safari chef. Have used for 3 of us with extra space available. Like it because it packs up so small.

Another Safari Chef HP fan here, and I believe it is big enough for two people with ease.

As already mentioned above, stock up on the Cadac 500g gas canisters from Argos, 14.99 GBP for 4 is a bargain, when GO is selling Coleman's version at 5.40 GBP each with the discount card!

I often change gas before it is completely emptied as it can take longer time to cook when the gas pressure is low, so I got myself a Coleman F1 lantern to use with the near empty cans. Looks rather odd as the lantern is much smaller than the canister! But hey, it works, and you can't beat the warm glow of a gas lantern IMHO.
