The Story Behind the Windshields

Hello there,

Thanks for visiting my site!

I'm James, a metalworker by trade from Sheffield.

Over the past few years, the Cadac cookers have been my go-to choice for cooking outdoors. In my opinion, they are unmatched when it comes to price and how good they are.

On many occasions, though, I've found the Cadacs to be heavily affected by wind, causing slower cooking times and increased gas consumption.

Using the machines at work, I started designing and making a windshield for my own Cadac. A few iterations later, I decided I'd give it a go selling them!

Introducing the Vento Windshield! The windshield is designed to work with all Cadac BBQ models, including other similar free-standing BBQ brands.

The first batch is finished and the windshields are now available to buy on my Etsy shop.

Thank you for the support, and if you have any questions, please get in touch.

Cheers,
James

Aluminium Windshield for All Cadac 2 Cook & 3 Cook BBQ Models

£24.94
Royal Mail Tracked 48®
  • Wind Protection

    The windshields keep the flame stable and cook & boil times fast, even in windy conditions. They also help significantly reduce gas consumption over time.

  • Hanging Utensils

    I have designed the windshields to hold a range of utensils, keeping them off the table and out of the way during cooking. Each side can hold up to 6 utensils. Please note: the utensils are designed to hang over the side of the table. If your table is longer than the length of the cooker, only one side can be used to hang utensils.

  • Suitable for All Connection Types

    The windshield features a large cut-out to accommodate all common gas connections, including right-angle regulators, rigid (fixed) hose fittings, and quick-release couplings.

  • Contains Spitting Oil and Fats

    The windshields also help contain spitting oil and fats, keeping the surrounding cooking area clean. After cooking, the windshields’ shape makes them quick and easy to clean and degrease.

  • Easily Packed Away

    The windshields pack neatly inside the Cadac’s carrying bags. We’ve tested this with all Cadac 2 Cook models. They also help protect the edges of the BBQ from any accidental knocks or drops.

  • Designed for the Cadac BBQs

    I’ve designed the windshield to accommodate the full Cadac range, including the 2 Cook, 2 Cook Deluxe, 2 Cook Turbo Deluxe, 2 Cook 2 Pro, 2 Cook 2 Pro Deluxe, 2 Cook 2 Pro Deluxe QR, 2 Cook 3 Classic, 2 Cook 3 Pro, 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe, 2 Cook 3 Pro Deluxe QR, and Portable models.

The Windshields in Action

Close-up of materials and manufacturing

Built to Last

The windshields are made from 1.1mm thick 5052-H32 aluminium. They can comfortably hold the weight of multiple utensils and are resistant to impact damage. They won't snap, bend, or chip if accidentally dropped. The aluminium will develop a slight patina from heat with extensive use, but this doesn't affect its structural properties. It is also immune to water damage and rust.

Designed with Purpose

I designed the windshields to be as lightweight as possible. Aluminium by nature is very lightweight, with the windshields weighing only 485 grams. The windshields are also small enough to fit inside the supplied Cadac carrying bags. There are no folds or hinges, making for easy assembly and cleaning. Small cut-outs along the top of the windshields also provide a storage space for utensils, keeping them off the table and out of the way.
