Hello Pitmasters,
in my introduction some of you noticed my braai. "braai" is the south african word for BBQ and for grill. Often a braai is just a gridiron over two stones with a simple woodfire. In my younger days I grilled over a bike basket but you had to wait until the paint was burnt by the flames to put the meat on. I´m very lucky, those days are gone.
My braai is a little bigger than a bike basket, but you´ll have to wait until you can start, too. The braai get´s his heat out of wood, that is burnt in the so called Embermaker. So you´ll have to use a higher amount of wood as in a barrelsmoker.
If the ember is ready, you can shift it around just to get the heat where you need it. After all you have heat from two different sides.
To get the targettemperature you need, you can put your steak into the tray. It is very easy to bake something in it or get some cheese on your food.
After the braai it is wonderful to watch the fire and enjoy the evening, good friends or the family.
There is enough space to cook in one or two dutch ovens.
And it is really a big landmark in the garden.
It´s a complete outdoor kitchen and we have a lot of fun with it.
Cheerio
