Economaster 1000 Braai Features
The ember maker does the waiting for you
Wood burns in the ember maker and fresh coals fall through for cooking, so you can get the meat on in about 15 minutes. It keeps supplying coals for the whole braai, which means no second fire on the side.
Practical touches
- Large grid with room for a family size braai
- Potjie hook for stews and curries
- Ash pan for quick clean-ups
- Built in braai light fitting for evening cooking
- Top and bottom doors, with the lower door used as a worktop
Size and build
The firebox is 2.5mm “A” grade hot-rolled mild steel. The unit measures 50 x 100 x 78 cm, weighs about 108 kg and has a top flue outlet, so it fits a standard brick braai surround without major building work.
Is the Economaster built in braai right for you?
The 1000 size is a good match for regular braais of 8 to 12 people. Indoors it needs a correctly sized flue and cowl so smoke clears quickly, which is extra important on windy Cape Town days. If you need more grid space, browse our full range of built-in braais.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team builds the surround, insulates the unit, fits the flue and cowl and seals the roof against winter rain. See how our brick braai builders work or view the full Economaster range.
