Transform Your Home with Our Built in Braais

In South Africa, braai culture runs deep—it’s woven into traditions, community, and the distinctive aroma of outdoor braaiing. The built-in braai is a cornerstone of this experience, designed to be a permanent part of your home. Whether you’re renovating your entertainment space or building new, our braai range is built to support years of gatherings with friends and family.

How Our Braais Are Built

Our braais are manufactured from A-grade materials selected for durability in South African climates. Mild steel models are finished with a heat-resistant black primer. Being careful with the welding—it’s done neatly and out of sight so no grinding is needed afterward (grinding weakens the weld). Most models come in four sizes: 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, and 1500mm.

Rigid Steel Structure

Our braais use a robust steel body engineered for durability. This structure is designed to withstand regular use and the elements, supporting countless meals and memories over years of use.

Versatile Ember Maker

The ember maker is the working heart of any braai. It’s designed to burn wood or charcoal and produces steady, consistent embers for grilling, stir-frying, or slow-cooking a potjie. You can easily switch between wood and charcoal depending on what you’re cooking.

Standard Accessories Included with All Built in Braais

Every built-in braai comes equipped with:

  • Ember Maker: Produces a steady flow of hot coals for uninterrupted grilling.
  • Braai Grid: A sturdy metal surface for grilling meat and other foods.
  • Light Fitting: Lets you cook comfortably into the evening.
  • Ash Pan and Tray: Simplifies cleanup and maintenance.
  • Doors with Chains: Provides workspace access and a neat closed appearance.

Upgrades and Optional Features

Our 1200mm and 1500mm DeLuxe Braais can be upgraded to include a spit arm and heavy-duty motor for roasting whole cuts. We also offer a casserole rack option for the top left corner,  this keeps dishes warm while you prepare the rest of your menu. All DeLuxe models feature a robust ember maker with additional reinforcements to keep it stable as you build and manage your fire.

Fuel and Performance

Good-quality wood, charcoal, or briquettes work well in any of our braais. Using quality fuel improves both the cooking results and complements your skill as a cook.

About Product Updates

We continuously improve our designs. Our Professional, DeLuxe, Spit, Freestanding, and Combination models have recently undergone refinements to enhance durability and function. As a result, some delivered units may differ slightly from website photos. We update photos as new inventory arrives, though this process can take time across all product ranges. If appearance consistency is important to you, please ask about current specifications when placing your order.
