Campingaz Party Grill CV | Camping Stove and Grill | All-in-One Camping BBQ | portable barbecue with Griddle, Grid and Pan Support | runs off CV gas cartridges

So, if you can't have a campfire or BBQ, is there anything you can take camping that will give you a lot more cooking options than just a camping stove? Despite the fact we have a caravan with a hob, grill and oven we find that now we are opting to use the Campingaz Party Grill 600 whenever the weather is decent outside. The fully adjustable 4000 W gas stove runs on Campingaz gas cylinders, which are widely available. I can prepare salads and other bits and bobs inside the caravan and husband can cook outside so we don’t get in each other’s way! With the Campingaz Party Grill being so powerful (it can boil the kettle in 3 mins 50 seconds) food is cooked in less time and another added benefit is frying food outside the caravan avoids setting off the fire alarm! One of the kids favourite meals to eat when we go camping is pancakes, apparently I make the best pancakes ever, so they challenged me to make them on the Party Grill. I was a little sceptical but I was willing to take that challenge. I found that I didn’t wait long enough on the first pancake for the grill and pan to properly heat up because it took ages but once we were at full heat it was full steam ahead and the pancakes were sizzling up nicely.

Setting it up is easy, although you’ll also need a gas cylinder along with a suitable hose. Campingaz advises using its own cylinders (R907 or R904), but we hooked it up to a standard Butane Calor gas bottle. In total the outfit weighs 10.7 kg which is a little heavy for me but easy enough for hubby. Bear in mind the regulator, hose and gas bottle are sold separately though so that needs to accounted for when measuring the overall weight. We bought the R904 Blue Campingaz bottle which has a run time of approximately 6 hours 15 minutes. This adds an extra weight of 1.81 kg to the outfit. You could opt for the bigger R907 bottle has a run time of approximately 9 hours 30 minutes and adds 2.71 kg of weight. These two gas bottles have a safety valve that means they can be unscrewed from the Party Grill when not in use. Our verdict div>

Ideally, when camping, you want the same bit of kit to do many different things to reduce the amount of stuff you need to take. Please note that this Grill doesn’t come with any piping, regulator or gas bottles as it can be used with a variety of gas bottles. You can use to to cater for the masses but we think it is the perfect size for every day cooking for our family of four. Smaller sizes of the Party Grill are available. If you fancy rustling up some delicious grub on your next camping trip then be sure to read our camping cooking tips. We have owned a Cadac BBQ in the past and found the CampingGaz Party Grill 600 offered all of the same benefits of the Cadac system in terms of portability, versatility of cooking surfaces and quality.

Given the opportunity, we love to cook by flame when outdoors. Unfortunately, that's not always possible or practical. Be prepared for your camping trip to the great outdoors or festival with our guide on what to take. div>

It’s not the cheapest, either, but you get what you pay for - and there are smaller options in the form of the Party Grill 200 and 400 if you don’t need the do-it-all capabilities of the 600. If you go the whole hog and opt for the 600, we think you’ll be suitably impressed. It’s really easy to set up, making it a viable tool for weekends away. It’s also incredibly versatile, just as good at barbecuing meat as cooking a fry-up or even cooking meat and two veg. Some features of the CampingGaz Party Grill which set it apart are: the two piece leg design which allows them to be stored and transported within the body of the BBQ and the deep grease catch pan which is designed to be filled with water making cleaning up much easier. Well, yes, there is. We've had a brief look at the popular Cadac system before, and now there's an alternative: the Campingaz Party Grill.
