Why the Cadac Carri Chef 50 BBQ is my ‘go-to’ for family outdoor cooking…
As a dad of five and someone who absolutely loves being outdoors with the family, finding equipment that works with you – rather than against you – is always a win. So when I got my hands on the new Cadac Carri Chef 50 BBQ QR, I didn’t just find a portable grill – I found a game-changer for our family holidays and weekends away.
We’re often off to the coast, to parks, or enjoying breaks away, and anyone with a big family knows how quickly meal times can turn into chaos if you’re not prepared. The beauty of the Carri Chef 50 is in its simplicity and versatility. It sets up easily, cooks beautifully, and packs down fast – three key things when you’ve got kids tearing around or you’re trying to feed hungry mouths after a long day outdoors.
What I love most is how portable it is. The whole unit is easy to pack into the van, and despite its generous cooking surface, it doesn’t take up loads of space. I can break it out, set it up, and get cooking in minutes. Cleaning up afterward is equally simple, which is honestly a dealbreaker for me – no one wants to spend their holiday scrubbing grates or scraping trays. Another feature that’s a winner for us is that the pack down size is 25% smaller than the previous version!
And while we’ve cooked all sorts on it – from burgers and kebabs to grilled veggies and sausages – our new family favourite has to be breakfast tacos. It’s the perfect meal for a sunny morning outdoors. We crisp up smashed sausage and toast tortillas on the grill, fry some eggs and then let everyone build their own. It’s quick, fun, and satisfying.
What stands out about the Carri Chef 50 is how evenly it cooks. No hot spots, no uneven flames – just consistent heat across the entire surface. And because it’s gas-powered, I don’t have to faff about with charcoal or wait for flames to die down. It gives me control and confidence, even when cooking for my hungry kids! With dual height legs the BBQ can be placed on a table or stood on the ground.
