Description
Our Deluxe built in braai is made for people who light the fire every weekend and want everything within reach. It takes the basic built in braai box and adds the extras that make a long braai easier: a charcoal starter, an upper and lower door, a potjie hook, a mild steel warming tray and a separate ash tray. It is a solid choice when you are building a new braai area or replacing a tired unit in an existing chimney breast.
Deluxe Built In Braai Features
A charcoal starter that keeps the fire going
The built-in charcoal starter gets wood or charcoal ready far quicker than lighting it on the main grid. You can keep feeding fresh coals while the meat cooks, so a big gathering never has to wait while the fire is rebuilt.
Doors that work hard
The upper and lower doors close the braai off neatly when it is not in use. The lower door also drops down to act as a table for your meat, spices and tongs, which is handy in a tight braai room.
Finishes for coastal homes
Standard units use mild steel. You can ask for a 304 stainless steel frame and doors with mild steel inners, or a full 304 stainless steel braai box, inners, doors and frame. The full stainless option is a smart pick near the sea, where salt air is hard on steel.
Spit option on larger sizes
The 800, 1000 and 1200 Deluxe sizes come with a built-on spit motor housing. An optional 220v spit motor with spit and skewers can roast two large chickens. If you want the spit, the electrics must be fitted at installation time.

Is the Deluxe right for your home?
It suits families and regular hosts who cook for bigger groups. Pick the width to match your chimney breast and how many people you usually feed. Wind and smoke matter in Cape Town, so a good canopy and flue are as important as the braai itself. If you are also planning indoor heat, our built-in braais are worth a look.
Built in braai Cape Town installation

Deluxe Built In Braai FAQs
Can the Deluxe go into my existing chimney?
Usually yes, as long as the opening is the right size and the chimney draws well. We measure the space, check the flue and confirm the best width before you order, so the new unit fits neatly.
Is stainless steel worth it near the coast?
For homes close to the sea, the full 304 stainless option lasts far better than mild steel against salt air and damp. It also keeps its clean look for longer with simple wiping after each braai.
