Built-in wood-fired barbecue - Smoak Braai BI1200C in Corten steel

As soon as we receive the order and payment, we will prepare the Braai for shipment.
Based on current stock levels, delivery takes 7-10 days, depending on the final destination.
If a Braai is temporarily out of stock, delivery will take a maximum of 3-4 weeks.
The Braai is always shipped on a pallet, so please keep in mind that it will always be delivered by truck.

The Braai unit (the Braai box) comes pre-assembled; it must either be placed on the included base or, if only the Braai box was ordered, placed on a solid worktop or piece of furniture, after which the chimney with the integrated louvered hood can be installed.
Installation instructions are included and can also be requested in advance.
The freestanding models are equipped with a single-walled chimney topped with a louvered hood.

Installation under a canopy:
We recommend switching to a double-walled chimney if the Braai is placed in a sheltered or enclosed space (porch, pool house, kitchen). In that case, we recommend choosing the adapter and the chimney cap; the adapter allows you to connect the Braai to a double-walled smoke duct. The chimney cap is used to conceal the chimney and complete the look of the Braai.
The parts for the flue are not included with the Braai. These must be ordered separately; of course, we're here to help you select the right parts.

The ember maker of the Braai is designed to make building embers simple, efficient, and reliable. By creating a concentrated and controlled heat source, it allows wood to burn down evenly into a perfect bed of embers, ready for cooking.
This intelligent design not only simplifies the process, but also ensures an efficient and reliable result. In approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the wood used and fire conditions, you can achieve a rich, even ember bed ready to deliver excellent cooking performance.
Elegant in its simplicity and effective in its function, the ember maker enhances the Braai experience by combining convenience, control, and authenticity - so you can focus on what matters most: exceptional cooking and memorable moments around the fire.

There are several ways to light a Braai, but always begin with safety: never use gasoline or any other flammable liquid. These products release toxic fumes and are not suitable for cooking fires.
The ember maker is designed to create an immediate and effective draft through the Braai's chimney, allowing the fire to establish itself quickly and beautifully. For the best start, place the smaller logs upright in the ember maker from the very beginning. This encourages a steady airflow and helps the fire draw efficiently and burn evenly.
1. Place a few thin pieces of wood in or under the ember maker.
2. Add fire starters or kindling on top.
3. Position a mix of small and larger logs, approximately 5 to 10 cm thick, upright in the ember maker.
4. Light the fire starters with a lighter and allow the wood to ignite naturally.
This method helps the fire develop smoothly and creates the ideal base of embers for cooking.

For the best Braai experience, we recommend using dry, seasoned hardwood. It burns steadily, produces beautiful embers, and creates less smoke, making it ideal for cooking over fire.
Avoid pine, coniferous wood, and damp wood. Softwoods and resin-rich woods burn too quickly, produce excessive smoke, and are less suitable for a clean, controlled fire.
For optimal performance, use wood in manageable pieces rather than large logs. Pieces with a diameter of around 5 to 10 cm are ideal, as they ignite more easily and help build a consistent, long-lasting bed of embers.
We also offer special Braai wood, such as Sekelbos - a dense, high-quality hardwood known for its excellent heat output, long burn time, and beautifully formed embers. It is a popular choice for those who value a rich, authentic fire-cooking experience.
If you would like more information about Sekelbos or other special types of Braai wood, please feel free to contact us. We would be delighted to advise you.

Our Braai comes with a 2-year warranty, provided it is used in accordance with the instructions in the manual. The warranty does not apply if the Braai has been used incorrectly, improperly maintained, or modified in any way.
