Braai is conviviality, adventure and delicious food all in one. A pure experience that you share with friends and family. Preparing food over charcoal is as old as humanity. But in the vast expanses of South Africa, braai has been elevated to an art form. It is an inseparable part of South African history and food culture.
What is a braai?
A braai originates from South Africa and revolves around cooking over echt fire. It is not just a way of barbecuing, but above all a social way of cooking outdoors, preparing dishes together around the fire.
A Home Fires Braai offers space to prepare various ingredients over the fire. Think meat, fish and vegetables, as well as larger cuts of meat that you can prepare on the spit with suitable accessories.
Home Fires Braai models
Within the Home Fires range, you can choose from various sizes and configurations. Which model suits you best mainly depends on the available space, how much cooking space you need and how you want to position your braai.

Within the Home Fires range, you will find various sizes, including the Braai 800, 1000 and 1200.

Freestanding or Built In Braai
Do you want a complete braai setup without building it into an outdoor kitchen? Then you can choose a freestanding Home Fires Braai. These models provide an independent cooking area in the garden or on the patio.
A Home Fires Built In Braai is instead built into an outdoor kitchen or other permanent setup. This makes the braai one integrated unit with your worktop, cabinets or other parts of the outdoor kitchen.
Home Fires Camp Braai
Besides the larger Home Fires models, you will also find the Home Fires Camp Braai. This is a more compact alternative for those who are not looking for a large permanent braai setup. This means you can also choose a smaller Home Fires model when a large freestanding or built-in braai does not suit your outdoor space or cooking style.
Home Fires Braai accessories
With various Home Fires accessories, you can further expand your braai. The range includes stands, rotisserie accessories and the Home Fires Braai Multi Versatile Oven.
With a rotisserie, you can prepare larger cuts of meat rotating above the heat source. A suitable stand can be used with certain models to create an independent braai setup.
Which Home Fires Braai is right for you?
Which Home Fires Braai you choose depends on the available space, the desired cooking surface and how you want to position the braai.
For example, you can choose a Braai 800 when you are looking for a more compact size, or consider the larger models when you want more cooking space. If you want to build a permanent outdoor kitchen, a Built In Braai is an obvious choice. If you are looking for an independent setup, you can choose a freestanding model.
