That's what I was wondering. The photos of the 2 models are different - leg position seems different.
Want to be sure to get the best one.

It looks like Amazon may be clearing out the lightweight model. Cadac website pictures the HP version. There are 2 versions. $76 compared to $90 - may go with the HP, if it is the newer, better version.

When I click through to add the Safari Chef Grill on the Cadac USA website to the shopping cart, it comes up model 5025, not 6541HP.

And the "HP" has a lower shipping weight than the alleged "lightweight" model. I cannot be sure but I think they are the same thing. Wouldn't be the first time Amazon has multiple listings of the same item. Or maybe the South African version has a different part number than the US version, I don't know. I can't see any difference in the pictures.

Base/legs width and knobs are different as well. Hmmm.....
just got the Cadac 6541HP from amazon, the cheaper model. It says model 5025 on the manual: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00173CGVK/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
I'm impressed with this little guy so far, very compact with lots of features, cant wait to cook some breakfast pancake on it

Well, found a local store that will sell me the display model for $53 and am debating about buying it. When I was looking the stove over it seemed to be of cheaper quality than I expected, the lid that is supposed to be a wok is a bit of a joke and the legs seem like they would bend if the stove were accidentally knocked over. And the lack of some sort of a wind blocker seems inefficient.

Thanks Graham. Your review answered my 2 year old question - it will work with a bulk propane tank.

You shouldn't buy it then. Where did you see this on sale for $53.00?

I am curious what you are expecting for $53? Please let us know where there is a better quality grill for that kind of money.

Anyone compared this to the Coleman All-in-One?

Or the O-Grill:

I took a quick look at both model and can already see some major cons
the coleman BTU is 5k compared to 7k with the safari, the lid cannot be used as a cooking bol
The O-grill cost twice more, looks a lot heavier/bigger thus less portable and like the coleman the BBQ grill drippings drip directly on the burner so after a couple of uses the burner will most likely clog up (the safari has a deflector to prevent that)
