In real-world use, though, you are unlikely to use it at full, and if you drop the Calor regulator down to 0.8kg/hr (i.e. you don't have your gas hob on full), then the Calor 4.5kg could last over 5.5 hours - an extra 2 hours longer than the largest Campingaz cylinder.

Your Campingaz cylinder should come with a carry handle that screws into the fitting where the cylinder goes.

The 400CV is a great BBQ and in some ways better than the Cadac. Yes we said it! For instance the lid has an in-built thermometer which allows you to set your cooking temperature accurately.

Campingaz are a massive brand and so they were never going to let Cadac monopolize the gas BBQ camping sector. With the Campingaz Party Grill 400 CV grill stove they’ve pulled a blinder. So a refill doesn't happen whilst you wait. Your cylinder is just swapped for one that's already been refilled. The amount of gas most people use when camping can easily be accommodated with smaller gas cylinders, so aim to get a cylinder less than 15kg (and a 15kg cylinder is still a big cylinder for camping).
