Cadac Quad Power Pak QR

Cadac

The Cadac Quad Power Pak QR sorts out one of camping's most annoying problems - lugging heavy gas bottles about. This portable gas system runs on four 227g bayonet cartridges that all work simultaneously, giving you roughly 9 hours of cooking time on a small BBQ. The cartridges click straight into the valve through a removable back cover, and here's what makes it clever - if one cartridge runs out mid-cook, the others keep going without any drop in flame. The 100cm hose has quick-release couplings at both ends, so connecting to your Cadac BBQ takes seconds rather than faffing about with spanners. Everything packs into the included storage bag, which stops the hose getting damaged in your locker. You'll need to buy the gas cartridges separately, but they're the same bayonet type used in camping stoves and blowtorches, so most camping shops stock them.For weekend trips and seasonal touring, this system makes proper sense. Four cartridges give you about 908g of gas total - considerably lighter than a standard camping gas cylinder, and no wrestling with heavy bottles when you're setting up. The simultaneous draw from all four cartridges maintains consistent pressure throughout cooking, so your BBQ performs just as well on the last cartridge as it did on the first. Worth noting though - cartridges cost more per gram than refillable bottles, so if you're cooking daily for extended periods, traditional gas bottles work out cheaper long-term. But for those trips where convenience and weight matter more than cost per meal, the Quad Power Pak QR does exactly what it should. The quick-release system means you can disconnect everything in seconds when it's time to pack up, and the storage bag keeps the whole setup together and protected during transit.FEATURES• Lightweight gas supply• Operates from 4 x 227g Cartridges (not included)• QR connection to BBQ• ± 9 hours gas feed for small BBQ• Removable back cover• Storage bag included.
