Hi

We are renting a MH in the summer and driving down through France. The title of the thread says it all really: I am after a small cheap gas BBQ that we can take with us for the trip. I dont want to spend a fortune as we are only renters and will probably only use it next if we rent in 2015 (planning on going to N Italy that year smile )

If you have any pointers I'd appreciate it

Thanks smile

Not sure if you'd call this cheap at £100 but these are brilliant, called an O Grill, something to do with Marco Pierre White I think. I've had one for a few years and brilliant for carting about! Gas bottle is plastic so not heavy either.

No, no, no!

What you need is a Cadac.

Does your rental motorhome come with an external gas point for barbecue connection?

It would be very handy if it did.

That aside, yes, Cadac. No. Scratch that. Get a Cadac instead. Much better.

I'm in a similar position and need a gas BBQ for our van, but a friend has a Cadac and I wasn't particularly impressed. It's basically just a big griddle pan on a gas burner so you don't get the flaming effect at all.

I've got a Weber Q series that i'm very happy with - can also get a smoker box to get you closer to that charcoal taste wink

I know they do differing models but the Carrychef delux,which packs down very well has the griddle pan you mention for steaks etc.
If you turn that over you have a big frying pan.
You take that off, fit a heat deflector and a conventional BBQ grill for BBQ's.
You then have the 'Scottle' which is good for currys, fried rice,peallas or even a roast with he lid on if it takes your fancy.
It also has a stand for conventional pans,kettles etc.
