Tradition

Braais are part of South African culture. Whether entertaining friends, family, colleagues or just relaxing in front of the fire, it creates the ambiance required for any occasion.

Most South Africans braai at least once a week and don’t need a reason to light up the fire and the opportunities for a braai are endless.
Braaiing is a South African tradition that cuts through cultural and racial lines. South Africans share the love of meat cooked over a wood fire regardless of language, race, or culture.

Advantages of a Wood & Gas Built-In Braai

 Best of both wood/gas :

GAS:

  •  Continuous Heat : Unlike a log fireplace, a gas BBQ has constant heat.
  • No Hauling: No need to buy or chop firewood which means you are not harming a tree, which in turn helps the environment.
  •  Easy to Operate: A gas BBQ is easy to turn on and off, just by the the flip of a switch unlike a wood braai that takes time to set up.
  • Environmentally Friendly: The environment benefits nicely from a gas braai because there are no fumes being released into the air, and a sound choice for the future.  Natural Gas exists and is readily available with little work to supply.

Wood:

  • Wood  is a natural fuel source No nasty binding agents like you find in charcoal.
  • Easy to Light If your Let’s Braai wood is nice and dry, all you need is some tinder and kindling and the strike of a match to get the flame going. You could also use firelighters to make it easier. (You may find it challenging at first, but practice makes perfect. We promise.)
  • Burns longer Wood typically burns longer than charcoal which makes it perfect for grilling a nice big cut of meat. Our African hardwoods can burn for over an hour creating lovely hot coals while charcoal only burns for about a half-hour. It also means you can cook more in one go.
  • Brings the flavour Delicious wood-fire flavour is thanks to the organic compounds released through the aromatic smoke which permeates your meat and veggies on the grill.
