Built-In Braais
Built-in braais create a permanent feature that integrates beautifully into patios, braai rooms and outdoor kitchens. They provide a clean architectural appearance while offering generous cooking space for entertaining.
Built-in models are available in a variety of sizes and finishes to suit both contemporary and traditional homes. Many homeowners choose built-in braais when designing new homes or renovating entertainment areas because they create a seamless, custom-built look.
Freestanding Braais
Freestanding braais provide excellent flexibility and are ideal for patios, gardens and outdoor spaces where a built-in installation is not practical.
Available in a range of sizes and styles, freestanding braais deliver outstanding cooking performance while allowing greater freedom in positioning your braai within your entertainment area.
Stainless Steel Braais
Stainless steel braais combine exceptional durability with a sleek, contemporary appearance. They are particularly popular in coastal areas because high-quality stainless steel offers improved resistance to corrosion when properly maintained.
Their modern finish complements today’s outdoor kitchens while providing reliable performance for years of regular use.
Italfire’ s range of Stainless steel braais consists of wood burning braais, gas braais and wood and gas combo braais. We have freestanding braais, wall mounted braais, table top braais and built in braais. Both our freestanding braai and wall mount braai are easily assembled and include the braai with chimney.
Our stainless steel braais are made with 430 grade, 304 grade or 316 grade stainless steel.
Gas Braais
Gas braais offer fast, convenient outdoor cooking with precise temperature control. They ignite instantly, heat quickly and require very little preparation compared with traditional wood or charcoal braais.
Many homeowners choose gas braais for everyday cooking while still enjoying the clean design and entertaining experience of an outdoor kitchen.
Wood and Gas Combo Braais
Wood and Gas Combo braais offer the best of both worlds. These versatile braais combine the authentic flavour of cooking over wood or charcoal with the convenience of instant gas grilling, giving you complete flexibility for every occasion. Whether you’re preparing a quick weekday meal or hosting a traditional South African braai, a dual-fuel braai allows you to choose the cooking method that suits your lifestyle without compromise. Modern combo braais are available in a range of sizes and configurations, allowing you to customise the balance between gas and wood cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best type of braai for my home?
The best choice depends on your available space, preferred fuel type and how often you entertain. Built-in braais suit permanent entertainment areas, while freestanding models offer greater flexibility.

Wood braais create the traditional flavour and atmosphere many South Africans enjoy. Gas braais provide faster heat, precise temperature control and greater convenience for everyday cooking.
Are stainless steel braais worth it?
Yes. Quality stainless steel braais are durable, easy to maintain and complement modern outdoor kitchens. They are also a popular choice for coastal homes because of their corrosion resistance when properly cared for.
