Going to buy the cadac that runs on cartridges today. Will "give up" the BBQ flavour and enjoy grilling outside the TT.

On all the sites we've been on where the charcoal bbq wasn't allowed they have had communal bbq areas - we just used these. In some ways they are better than the little ones as you get more space to cook, and we never had to queue for one etc.

I v'e seen the french electric ones in the supermarkets and was not impressed, the rack for the food is directly over the electric element, any juices/fat would drip all over it, surely that is a fire risk, and would be very messy to clean?

We take our gas Cadac BBQ for sites that will allow them, and a George Forman grill for sites that allow electric only. Rules on BBQ's vary widely from site to site, I suspect it depends on whether there have been any bush fires locally that year and how worried they are.




No - the water filled base ensures all the juices drip into the water - no problem at all with fat burning etc.   It's actually the easiest type of barbecue to clean - just like washing a grill pan.

The results are amazingly good - you'll never get the full charcoal experience, but it's pretty good.
