Description
The Economaster 800 Basic keeps things simple: a strong steel firebox, the essentials you need for a proper braai, and a size that fits most entertainment areas. It is a built-in braai that can be installed indoors, so a rainy Cape winter weekend no longer means cancelling the braai.
Economaster 800 Basic Built-in Braai Features
Braai and fireplace in one
With the top door closed the braai acts like a fireplace, giving off heat to the room. Open it up and you have a full cooking fire. That makes an indoor braai a good choice for lapas, braai rooms and covered stoeps.
Everything you need, nothing you do not
- Potjie hook for stews and potjiekos
- Cooking grid
- Ash pan for easy cleaning
- Light fitting so you can see the meat after dark
- Top and bottom doors, with the lower door doubling as a worktop
Tough, local build
The firebox is made in South Africa from A grade hot-rolled mild steel 2.5mm thick, and Economaster backs it with a 5 year limited guarantee. It burns wood or coal and has a top flue outlet with a 320 x 220 mm square opening.
Size
The unit measures 35 x 80 x 78 cm and weighs 69.4 kg. The 80 cm width suits a family braai of about six to eight people as a rough guide.
Is the 800 Basic right for your braai area?
It is a built-in unit, so it needs a brick or block surround and a chimney or flue to carry smoke away. If your patio is exposed to the south-easter, a built-in braai with a proper flue will handle wind and smoke far better than an open unit. More options are in our built-in braais range.

Economaster 800 Basic FAQs
Can I put the Economaster 800 Basic inside my house?
Yes, it is made for indoor use as long as it is built in correctly with a flue that draws well. We check the room, roof and flue route before we start building.
What is the difference between the 800 Basic and the standard 800?
The Basic model keeps the core features but leaves out the ember maker found on the standard Economaster built in braai. It suits buyers who are happy to make coals in the main fire.
