Description
Living in a cluster or townhouse often means you cannot build a brick braai. The Home Fires 1000 freestanding braai solves that. It stands on its own frame, comes with its own flue and cowl, and can go almost anywhere on a patio. You get the feel of a built-in braai, including a chimney that carries smoke away, with far less work.

Smoke goes up, not into your face
The flue and rotating cowl draw smoke up and out. The cowl turns with the wind, which helps on breezy Cape evenings when an open braai would blow smoke across the table.
Sized for family braais
The unit measures 54 x 100.5 x 190 cm and weighs 135 kg. The full-length grid takes enough meat for a family and a few friends, and the potjie hook means the pot can go on while the coals are ready.
Is the 1000 right for your home?
It suits an open, ventilated patio, a covered stoep with good airflow or a garden entertainment area. Plan for around eight to twelve people per session. If you would rather have a cladded unit, look at our built-in options, or compare other freestanding braais.
Installation in Cape Town
Our team delivers, positions and sets up the braai, then fits the flue, cowl and roof flashing where the flue runs through a patio roof, so it stays dry in winter. Find out about our braai installation services, read the Home Fires buyer guide, or browse the full Home Fires range.
Freestanding Braai FAQs
Is a freestanding braai with chimney easier to install than built in?
Yes. There is no brick surround to build, so it is quicker and causes less mess. You only need a level, fire-safe floor and a route for the flue.
Can I move the Home Fires freestanding braai later?
It can be moved with a few strong helpers, but the flue would need to be refitted. It is best to choose the right spot from the start, and we help with that.
