Freestanding Braais | Wood Burning

Elevate Your Home with our Freestanding Braais

A Freestanding braai is a stand alone braai with its own cabinet or stand, so you don’t need brickwork or a builder. It can usually be installed in roughly four hours and moved should you relocate, unlike permanent built-in braais. We supply 900mm and 1200mm sizes in mild steel for the Professional range, 430SS, 304SS and 316SS for the Patio range. Not sure which steel suits your area? Read our steel grade guide.

Features of Our Freestanding Braais 

Our Freestanding Braais are manufactured from only the best A-Grade materials. Mild steel Braais are coated with a heat resistant black primer to finish off.  The Professional Range is available in three sizes ranging from 900mm,  1200mm and 1500mm.  Welding on the structure of the braai is done neatly out of sight so that the weld does not need any grinding as this will weaken the weld.

Rigid Steel Structure

Our Braais are constructed with a robust steel body, ensuring durability and longevity. The rigid steel structure guarantees that your braai will withstand the test of time, providing countless memories with friends and family.

Versatile Ember Maker

The ember maker is the heart of the Freestanding braai. Designed to burn wood or charcoal, it produces the perfect embers for grilling meats, preparing stir-fries, or slow-cooking a delicious potjie. With the built in braai, you can easily switch between wood-burning and charcoal cooking.

Standard Accessories Included with Freestanding Braais

Each Freestanding Braai comes equipped with essential accessories:

  • Braai Grid: A Stainless meat griddle for perfect grilling.
  • Light Fitting: Included with all Professional Braais, Illuminating your cooking space for evening entertainment.
  • Ash Pan and Tray: Effortless cleanup with our ash pan and tray system.
  • Single Door: Provides a convenient workspace and ensures a neat appearance when closed.

Our 1200 and 1500 Professional Braai can be upgraded to a Full Lamb Spit Braai – special order only. This will include a lamb spit arm and heavy duty spit motor.  A Casserole rack can be added additionally, located in the top left corner of the Braai, This enables you to keep your dish warm whilst preparing the rest of your menu. As a added feature, all of our Professional Braais has a reinforced ember maker. The reinforcements ensures that you ember maker stays straight while you build a fire to your hearts content!

What is a freestanding braai?

A freestanding braai, also called a stand alone braai, loose standing braai or patio braai, is a complete unit with its own cabinet or base. It does not need to be built into brickwork. A flue carries the smoke up and out through the roof or pergola.

Freestanding braai vs built-in braai: which should I choose?

Choose a freestanding braai if you want no brickwork, a quick install (usually under four hours), or a unit you can take with you. It suits renters and smaller patios. Choose a built-in braai for a permanent, dedicated entertainment area. Browse our built-in braais to compare.

Do freestanding braais need a flue?

Yes. A wood-burning freestanding braai needs a flue so smoke is drawn up and away. Our freestanding braais include the flue and turbo cowl. Read our braai installation guidelines before you install.

What sizes do your freestanding braais come in?

Our Professional freestanding braais come in 900mm and 1200mm, in mild steel. The 1200mm patio braai is also available in stainless steel (430SS, 304SS or 316SS). We also supply freestanding spit braais in 1200mm and 1500mm.
