Description
The Home Fires 1200 freestanding braai is the kind of braai you build a weekend around. It is a stand alone braai in heavy steel, 120.5 cm wide, with its own chimney, so you can place it on a patio or in an open entertainment area without building a brick structure. It comes as a complete Super Deluxe kit, ready for grid cooking and potjie on the same night.

Better fire control
The ember maker lets you burn logs down to coals on one side while you cook on the other, so there is no waiting between rounds of meat. Two half grids give you flexibility: chops on one, vegetables or roosterkoek on the other, each at its own height.
A freestanding braai with chimney
The rotating cowl turns with the wind to pull smoke up and away from your guests. For a Cape Town patio, where the south-easter can change direction quickly, this makes a real difference.
Built for the long run
Home Fires is a proudly South African maker. The unit weighs 155 kg and measures 54 x 120.5 x 193 cm, which tells you it is made from solid steel, not light sheet metal. It burns wood or charcoal.
Is the 1200 right for your space?
The 1200 is the size to choose if you often feed a big family or a group of friends. It is freestanding, so it needs a level, non-combustible base and good airflow around it. Covered patios work well if the flue can exit cleanly. Browse more freestanding braais or the full Home Fires braai range to compare sizes.

Home Fires 1200 FAQs
Can I use a freestanding braai under a roof?
Yes, if the area is open and well ventilated and the flue runs out correctly. We look at the roof height, cladding and wind direction before we recommend a spot.
Does the Home Fires braai burn charcoal as well as wood?
It does. Use wood when you want flames and ambience, or charcoal and briquettes for a quick, even heat on a weeknight.
