Fire Up Summer: The Dometic Cadac Range for Outdoor Cooking in New Zealand

Summer in New Zealand means long evenings, golden light, and the irresistible smell of something sizzling outdoors. Whether you're heading to the bach, setting up at a campsite, or hosting in the backyard, the Dometic Cadac range is built for exactly this kind of living.

Cadac has earned a loyal following among outdoor cooking enthusiasts — and it's easy to see why. Their gas BBQs and cookers are portable, versatile, and engineered to perform whether you're cooking for two or feeding a crowd. Here's a look at what's available at LX2001 and how each piece fits into your summer plans.

The Flagship BBQs

Dometic Cadac Carri Chef 50

The Carri Chef 50 is the all-rounder you'll reach for again and again. A powerful 3.7kW stainless-steel burner, automatic piezo ignition, and a built-in dome thermometer make it as capable as it is convenient. Close the dome and it becomes an oven — perfect for slow-roasting a leg of lamb or baking a camp loaf on a summer evening. The PFOA-free GreenGrill ceramic coating means healthier cooking and easy clean-up. Lightweight anodised aluminium legs and a carry bag make it genuinely portable.

Dometic Cadac Carri Chef 40

A slightly more compact option, the Carri Chef 40 delivers the same core performance in a smaller footprint. At around 8kg with an adjustable stabilising leg, it's ideal for camping trips or smaller outdoor spaces. Comes with a pot stand, BBQ grid, and dome — everything you need to get cooking straight out of the bag.

Dometic Cadac Skottel Braai BBQ

The Skottel Braai is a New Zealand summer icon. The hard porcelain enamel-coated dish is perfect for traditional breakfasts, paella, stir-fries, sausages, and eggs — the kind of relaxed, social cooking that defines a good summer morning at the campsite. Under 6kg and packed with a carry bag, it's one of the most portable options in the range.

The Tabletop Option

Dometic Cadac 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe

Two independent burners, a ceramic-coated grill plate and ribbed plate, two pot stands, and a coffee stand — the 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe is the ultimate tabletop setup for those who want to cook multiple dishes at once. Windshields on both sides protect the flame, and the gas button protection is a smart touch for families with young kids. At 7kg, it's compact enough to take anywhere.

Accessories Worth Adding

Grill 2 Braai 50 Cooking Surface

A non-stick alternative surface for the Carri Chef and Citi Chef 50 range. The ribbed side is ideal for steaks, fish, and burger patties; the flat plancha side handles breakfasts and stir-fries. GreenGrill ceramic coating — PFOA-free and easy to clean.

Paella Pan for Carri Chef 40

Lightweight aluminium with GreenGrill ceramic coating and stainless steel handles. Perfect for paella, risotto, pasta, or a big breakfast for the group. Comes with a storage bag and fits neatly under the 40-range dome.

Dual Power Fuel Pack

The first dual gas cartridge supply of its kind — combines two EN417 cartridges to deliver a consistent 2.75kPa regardless of temperature. Includes an 85cm gas hose. A smart addition for extended trips where reliable gas supply matters.

Ready for a New Zealand Summer

From a beach BBQ to a mountain campsite, the Dometic Cadac range is designed to go where summer takes you. Robust, portable, and genuinely versatile — these are tools built for the way New Zealanders actually cook outdoors.
