    What makes the Deluxe version different?

    The 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe and 2Cook 3 Turbo Deluxe stoves differ in the additional accessories provided. The "Deluxe" versions are equipped with 3 additional cooking plates :

    • The ribbed cooking plate or grill will allow you to grill meat, fish, vegetables, etc. directly on your stove.

    The 2 cooking plates are each equipped with a removable handle allowing the plate to be moved more easily.

     Which regulator should you choose for your Cadac stove?

    First of all, what is a regulator used for?

    The regulator guarantees optimal use of your gas bottle in regulating the pressure at its outlet , thus ensuring optimal flow in complete safety.

    Regulators are required for Cadac stoves and are sold separately.

    It is essential to choose a regulator compatible with the gas bottle you plan to use, because each type of bottle requires a specific regulator.

    3 regulators are compatible with Safari Chef LP (Low Pressure) stoves and barbecues:

    1. THE  regulator for EN41 7 cartridge allows low pressure appliances to operate with EN417 screw gas cartridges. It easily screws onto a threaded gas cartridge or gas cartridges with 7/16" EN417 universal fitting.
    2. THE Campingaz Overflow regulator ( 8515 -OF) allows you to connect your Safari Chef LP barbecue stove to a Campingaz gas bottle (Campingaz type 901 / 904 or 907).
    3. THE Universal Overflow regulator ( 8510 -OF) allows low pressure devices to operate through a universal connection with 1/4” left hand external thread fitting.

    Which gas bottle should you choose for your stove?
